9) What are the funding requirements?

Once you've opened your eligible account, you'll need to deposit at least $50 from an outside financial institution into your new Fidelity account within 15 calendar days (qualification period) of registering for the offer. If you registered with the Starter PackSM accounts, then net deposits between the two accounts must total at least $50. Make sure you allow a few days for your funds to deposit.

10) I opened the Starter PackSM accounts, do I have to fund both The Fidelity Account® and the Fidelity® Cash Management Account with $50 each?

14) I registered for the offer by opening the Starter PackSM accounts, which account will receive the $100 cash reward?

Assuming you met all eligibility requirements for the offer, The Fidelity® Cash Management account will receive the $100 cash reward.

15) Do I have to keep the $100 cash reward at Fidelity once I receive it?

Yes. While you don't need to keep your initial deposit of $50 in the new account for more than the qualification period, you must keep the $100 cash reward (minus any losses related to trading, market volatility, or margin debit balances) in the eligible account for a minimum of 90 calendar days starting from when you receive the reward.

16) Do I need to pay taxes on the $100 cash reward?

$50 fee when you close the IRA…..
no one should so anything more than open a cash mgmt account to qualify for this deal. if you have other big plans with fidelity, fine go ahead but don't complicate this deal by trying to do something fancy that you aren't quite sure will qualify. just open the cash acct, get your $50, then figure out how to do everything else you want to do with your financial future. too many people trying to get creative last time and either didn't get the bonus or had to call it in. self-inflicted dealing with fees, transfers, etc...way too easy just to do the basics. this comment is meant to help those who like to torture themselves when it comes to getting free money.
I just opened an HSA with Fidelity. Suppose there's no way I can qualify for this.

I think I have seen much better deals (up to $500 for transferring brokerage accounts ) but it just so happens I am fed up with Etrade after almost 25 years there and was about to move my accounts to either Fidelity or to TD Ameritrade anyway. So this makes that decision a little easier. ETrade was going downhill before Morgan Stanley bought them but since then Etrade services have all but disappeared . There is no more chat service and no more email service — you have to call and wait over an hour on the phone to correct one of E*Trade's many many screw ups. I finally asked one employee what the hell was going on at Etrade and he admitted that when MS took over they fired employees and cut services on a grand scale to boost profits

Quote from drinkingbird :
My trades (as long as you aren't setting unreasonable limits) execute within seconds. I guess it depends on what you consider fast, and how liquid the instruments you're trading are. Active Trader Pro (optional, but free) is a great platform. Never used Merrill. Fidelity does have some guarantees as far as speed, I forget the exact details.

They have licences and direct connectivity to all the major exchanges so there is no reason anything should be delayed.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with Fidelity. Apologies, I did not formulate question well and your response is addressing a different facet of trading (ie execution). Sure once the order is entered, all will execute within a second (provided price target is met). Thsi goes for all brokers.... So execution speed is more less the same across all brokers...

What I meant to ask is: How fast can one create an order? For example, on TOS/TDA a limit/stop order can be created with a single mouse click using price ladders ie super fast. On Merrill, it is impossible to do such a thing: you have to fill out lengthy and incredibly slow order entry form and by the time you fill it out the market already moves...

Is there any annual maintenance fee for regular brokerage account?

Also if you have 401k with Fidelity, will this offer work for opening personal brokerage account?

IEX is changing the game but they are still a pretty small amount of the daily volume. However I wouldn't say to only buy through IEX, you buy wherever the best price is, and in most cases you don't have a choice, your broker is required to provide best execution and will pick (automatically) the exchange to do that.
ahem. why not buy through IEX with buy direct order for free in their active trader pro.
Only IBKR paid version and fidelity have these options for now other brokers do not.

@JonsDad that is not true. You may close any account with Fidelity you wish at any time for no fee. You must sell and transfer the money out of the account before doing so. https://www.brokerage-review.com/...count.aspx

Annual Maintenance I am not positive about, but Fidelity themselves declare zero annual account fees. I have never been charged.

Yes this works. I already had IRAs through Fidelity for myself and my wife and was able to open additional Fidelity IRAs under this promotion previously and receive the $100 incentive for the both of us.

Is there a limit to the number of accounts a person can open?

For example, if one were to legally change their name or apply for a different social security number after they opened each account, could they open more than one?
You don't have to do any of that. You can have as many Fidelity accounts as you want, per my understanding. My wife and I both have individual brokerage, a joint brokerage, two each Roth IRA accounts through fidelity, and my 401k.

The promotion is one per account, so you would have to produce a different account for additional promotions, but if you went through the trouble and changed your identity for $100, more power to you.

Quote from zKarp :
While I'm here, anyone suggest Fidelity IRA over Vanguard? Been a customer of vanguard for years bc of a previous employer 401k. Not attached and happy to move everything based on options & fees
I moved to Fidelity after years with Vanguard, and I much prefer it. If you actively manage your portfolio, Fidelity offers much better research functions, like stock screeners, news feeds etc. Fidelity also offers integration with Coinbase, so you can see your crypto investments compiled into your portfolio overview.

Also, for anyone asking about the difference between the Fidelity account and the cash account. The difference is that with a normal Fidelity account you can buy stocks on margin (borrowed money). This makes it easier to trade actively, or day trade, because you can buy and sell instantly, whereas with a cash account, if you buy stock, you will have to wait three days for the cash to to settle before you can sell. Also, if you buy stocks in a normal margin account, Fidelity will lend out your shares to short sellers, so they can make money by charging an interest fee, but if you buy stock in a cash account, then they are not entitled to lend them out.

Make sure to check if they actually deposit the $100. I did this the last time and never got the $100. I had to contact fidelity which then corrected it no problem. However, they did try to have a financial advisor sell me professional investment.

Quote from bunchac :
I've been a Fidelity customer since 2003ish... so a long time. I use them for everything and have several accounts (IRA, brokerage, checking, etc.). When I saw this promotion, I opened another brokerage account, transferred $100 from my Fidelity checking account, and I received an email from Fidelity stating that I was eligible for the promotion. I waited, and waited... but didn't receive the $100. I called and was told I'm not eligible because I didn't transfer the $100 from an external account. This is the only problem I've had with Fidelity that I can remember. Other than this issue, they've been great!

I'm a "premium" account holder (or whatever they call it). Therefore, I'll have a meeting with my financial advisor soon, and I'll mention the promotion issue. Hopefully, he can push it through. Peace
Yeah. Most of the promos like this require "new" money.
