I hate the idea of having banking apps on my phone, since I'm always afraid I'll somehow lose it (though I can't recall ever having lost one)... I went ahead and downloaded the app, and since I had previously created a Fidelity account (from a "open X account, deposit $50 and we'll give you $100 offer), I logged in with that. I created the Bloom Save / Spend accounts, but did not see any offers.
Turned out I had to "drag down" on the main page (click on the "House" icon), and eventually the "Save $300, earn $30" offer came up, so I went through that. I couldn't get a banner for the "Save $25, we'll give you $50 offer), so hopefully that'll be automatic once the $300 hits the account.
Just thought I'd post my experience, in case it helped anyone.
15 transactions a day for $1.50? Is this worth your time? Possibly if there is a way to set up auto pays / schedule.
Thank you.. Setup was breeze in the app and opened up for myself/spouse.

The idle cash is automatically used to buy a money market mutual fund. Low risk, but not 0 (near 0 though). They cannot hold cash as they are not a bank.
SIPC is private insurance and if Fidelity somehow lost their entire assets of over $4.5 Trillion SIPC would declare bankruptcy. Of course that is unlikely to happen, but again, not 0
However it's a much bigger risk if you walked into a chipotle with legal tender. You may walk out with less money.
Yeah the bank sweep program is opt-in (and I believe requires you to have their cash management account). However the interest rates are pretty poor even compared to money market, though they do spread it across multiple banks to increase your FDIC coverage.
However doesn't look like bloom allows bank sweep, so your core will be a money market fund.
I don't know how, but I've made 10% since January. The savings account is doing better than my retirement portfolio.
Edit: I could be wrong about my initial transferred amount. Even I am skeptical about this 10%.
it's seeing my old 401k from decades back and won't let me continue signing up for bloom for some reason.
You probably just need to get your username and password. I'd chat with support. It's just telling you that you already have an account, but that doesn't mean you can't also start these save and spend accounts. You can have dozens of accounts under in one portfolio.
Update: On Tuesday at1PM ET, I initiated a $25 deposit from multi-state regional bank. This morning at 12:30AM ET, $25 deposit was "settled" & available to use (withdraw, spend for purchases, etc.).
Yesterday, the Save account showed "Total account value" of $25.
Available to trade $25
Cash available to trade $25
(Use to purchase securities intended to be held until settlement)
Available to withdraw $0

You should only have to deposit $300 right? Not $325 to get both offers
Per the terms, yes. The 10% bonus applies to the savings account, so if you put $25 in the other account, then you MAY need to add $300 total to the savings. You have until the end of the year to hit $300 total in the savings.
FYI - I had difficulty funding this deal through my existing external bank account with Fidelity. I had to call Fidelity customer service to add it and to end the continuous requests to add an external bank account within the Bloom app.

I eventually got in, but it was a mess! I tried my normal/old Fidelity 401k login and it kept telling me it was wrong (filled in from password manager, so I know it's right). I could go to the fidelity website log in with no issues, but the Bloom app says it's wrong, and seemingly wanted it's own login, which it wouldn't let me create. I *think* once I logged in via my phone's browser, then went back to Bloom, it "saw" my login and allowed me to use my current credentials, even though it previously told me they were wrong multiple times >_< also funny the Bloom app didn't offer a "forgot my password" anywhere. (not that I ended up needing it in my situation)

But I mean, unless you dine and dash, I would assume you'd walk out with less money.
