Did your kid activate youth account through own Fidelity app? It took only 2 or 3 days since my son did that to receive $50 bonus.
It seems like this Fidelity deal is a good one for 13 year old. My son is 14 and I opened Fidelity youth account for him. This is his first and only checking/saving account with debit card. He has received $50 bonus from Fidelity 2 or 3 days after he activated his youth account through Fidelity app. He also received debit card in mail although I haven't received my debit card from Fidelity deal in Black Friday deal yet.
Hmmm. Sounds like you need to call their customer service. I was surprised to see $50 bonus deposited to my son's youth account in a few days. It didn't take long.
What teen should not active with options, particularly highly leveraged ones like futures options selling naked calls and creating straddles, strangles, butterfly spreads, iron condors, etc
😂 I jest but seriously, the confusion and misunderstanding in this thread is a great argument for teens to get an investment account and learn how it works. I set this up with my kids when they were quite young, and hopefully, they are getting the financial education I never got growing up - hard-learned lessons as an adult.
Yes, through a fidelity cash account. When I go to transfer money, the youth account is not one of the available options. Really not looking forward to calling.

When I opened youth account for my son, his youth account was in my account after I linked his youth account but it took about a week for my son to receive "activate your youth account through app" email. Then, it took a while for me to realize I can not directly fund money through my bank into his youth account in my Fidelity account.
So much easier to sign up this way without the extra question via the app. As soon as your son registers online, go ahead and download the app and log in from the link provided by fidelity via TXT. And yes he got the $50 just fine.
It's literally a legal requirement for banks to verify identity of the account holders. This is standard stuff.
I believe you have to show SSN for any bank account. If it's uploading that bothers you look for a Fidelity brick and mortar
After couple months, I was talking to another Fidelity rep for my old 401k account and he mentioned there is no need to mail the SSN for youth account but it can be uploaded in the secure channel. I went ahead and opened the account.

You need to go to your funding accounts page and link the youth account from there. The site doesn't automatically give funding access to all accounts from your external funding account.
