I added my 3 yr old as an authorized user on my credit card. I'm over 800 so I shouldn't be negatively affecting my child's score
Which card allowed a 3yr old?
Asking as many have age restrictions
Please tell me you sell life insurance.

1- Any gift-tax implications if I deposit more money to his account (he asks me to deposit all his allowances etc. to his account)?
2- I believe I'm responsible to pay taxes on his profits if it exceeds a certain limit? Would it be an issue to track his transactions etc. when calculating the taxes if he keeps making multiple trades every day?

1) IRS gift tax exclusion limit is $17k for 2023.. think you'll be okay.
2) this is what their FAQ says about that:
Who is responsible for taxes or fees associated with the Youth Account, my teen or me?
The funds in the account belong to your teen. Both you (parent/guardian) and your teen should consider the tax consequences of funding the account. Earnings on the account may require your teen to file a tax return and pay taxes on those earnings, or, if you and your teen meet certain requirements, you may elect to include such earnings on your (parent's/guardian's) tax return to pay the applicable taxes. Additionally, funds used to open the account may be subject to gift taxes if given by you (parent/guardian) or other third party. This is only a summary of some of the tax implications of opening a Youth Account. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the federal, state, and local tax consequences and/or potential impact to future student aid by opening an account with respect to your and your teen's personal situation.
Also, if your child trades often, they might want to look into and learn about possible trading violations: https://www.fidelity.co
Did you guys have to add your own funds first to get the $50?
I called twice already. Unlocked last time I called (they got the SSN/etc. pictures but hadn't checked a box yet) and they then said ten more business days. That was three weeks ago.
Will call again next week.
I've called three times so far

Two kids in-state in my state for four years, tuition plus housing plus food, is easily $250k when you're done. A kid that is a kindergartener now will be twelve years away from starting college. At even 5% a year cost increase over 12 years, two kids may be $500k.
529 plans are an easy way to go. If a kid doesn't go to college, that money can be moved to a relative, or any descendant. Key to any solution is to realize how much it will cost (if you decide to fund it), and start saving/investing when they are born. Bonus if you are in a state that offers a tax deduction up to some amount for contributing to a plan sponsored by your state.
As an aside, claiming an insurance company "savings" product is better because something else might trap your money is hilarious. No one buys these products, they are sold these products.
I'm still trying to figure out how to turn off overdraft for debit card and allow one way transfers only to a savings acct but not from savings account.
