Fidelity is offering New Bloom Customers:$100 Cash Reward when you Open 2 Fidelity Brokerage Accounts (Fidelity Bloom Spend and Fidelity Bloom Save) via the Fidelity Bloom App and Deposit $50 or more within 7 calendar days of opening the account (see the instructions below).
Thanks to community member hashir for sharing this deal.
Open a Bloom account and deposit $50 to get a $100 bonus. This is open to new Fidelity customers and existing Fidelity customers that don't have a Bloom account.
the Net Deposit at the end of the 7 calendar days after your initial funding date ("the Qualification Period") must be at least $50.
The cash award will be deposited directly to the Fidelity Bloom Save account within 10 calendar days after the qualification period.

Looks fairly straightforward.
Technically opening 2 accounts. A debit & a brokerage account for them to invest your savings.
*edit: as pointed out below by SirMixPix, both accounts are technically brokerage accounts which changes the protections/guarantees a bit.
Anyone seeing fees? I'm not.
looks like even better than OP claimed:
+$5 just for signing up (YMMV, this happened during sign up process for me. it is already showing up in the app under Activity for me)
+$100 if you fund $50 per promo
+$30 (10% match bonus on up to $300 deposit to SAVE account)
so if you park $300 in this for a while you'll get $135 in bonuses (I wasn't sure re timing and didn't dig into the details, others have made educated guesses in comments below)
Updates:
Sounds like they check settled funds at the end of the month and you get the bonus early in the next month.
the 10% is an intro bonus rate, looks like 5% for future years.
edit 2:
185TU and not frontpage?
is it the lack of kickback money for SD since it's via app signups and not a direct affiliate link or what?
wild the promoted garbage that gets pumped to the frontpage with very little engagement while this doesn't. apparently the Lisen phone holder & ESR plastic phone cases are more noteworthy lol
edit 3:
I got my full bonus
8/18 signed up. immediately got $5 bonus
8/21 ACH transfer posted ($300)
8/30 $100 bonus posted
9/01 $30 match bonus posted
Keep in mind, both the accounts are brokerage funds and, while uncommon for low risk mutual funds of these types to lose money, they have and can (in rare instances). They are not fdic protected and do carry more risk, albeit slight, than a 'standard' back account covered under FDIC insurance.
These brokerage accounts are instead SIPC covered, which while similar to FDIC insurance, there are some significant differences.
A good article explaining what is covered and what isn't here: https://www.firstrepublic.com/ins...ifferences
Interesting Quote from above article:
"It's worth noting that SIPC insurance does not cover the value of your stocks, bonds or other investments. Rather, the SIPC replaces your missing stocks and other securities when possible."
I am Not knocking this deal or the opening of accounts to get the deal. Just some fyi that I found while exploring the fine print that I found interesting.
Got the $5. Currently a Fidelity credit card + brokerage customer as well.
I attached a picture of where you see the $5 bonus.

Says Bloom accounts Save & Spend open continue: But I can't create user name and password keeps saying "An unknown error occurred. Please try again latter or contact Fidelity."
Anybody else get this? (Edit: I have an old Fidelity account so I had to use that login info)
I could not use plaid to link my Discover Bank account, tried 5 times it kept saying: wrong credentials, but it's not.
Maybe it's because I only have a savings account with Discover Bank?
In my reading from their website, it's basically a spend account with a debit card and a second "savings account." They promote it as a "mindfulness" option to encourage saving because research has shown that having a separate account for each encourages people to save. Both are just accounts that invest in a money market mutual fund, which is comparable to what a high yield savings account returns atm.
Did you open the Bloom account using an existing Fidelity login? And, through the app? I am trying to open Bloom account using the existing Fidelity account using the Bloom app and I don't see $100 bonus. Only the 10% match up to $300 deposit
used existing fidelity account. signed in through app and did everything through app. i already had 300 in another fidelity account, which made deposit fast and easy.
100 bonus is new, so timing may be different as well.
Signed up for the bonus, but this may be worth keeping around for the $0.10 cash back per swipe on the debit card. Similar to the Citi Rewards+ credit card, might be good to keep in your wallet for purchases a couple bucks or less, like buying a soda at the gas station, for example.

If I'm understanding the faqs[fidelity.com], you need to deposit at least $50 from outside fidelity to get the $100 opening bonus, but you get the 10% match on deposits from anywhere
Is this deal over? I think I see is the 10% match for 300 and that link doesn't work anymore. There's definitely no $100 promo for $30 deposit nor a five dollar sign up bonus.

This is a brokerage account because the dog is not a bank. Is it possible to use Zell with this?
