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.

Is this a good idea if I already have an Apple HYSA as well as 401k with Fidelity? Not sure if there's an upside to this but not too familiar with these types of accounts either. Seems like a good investment.

If I'm understanding
What is the savings match in Fidelity Bloom®?
Savings match is one of the ways we celebrate your progress and reward you for saving. You might be familiar with how many employers often match a percentage of your retirement contributions. Similarly, Fidelity Bloom®'s savings match is basically "free money" that rewards your good financial habits!
Fidelity Bloom offers an annual match of 10% on up to $300 (max of $30) in eligible deposits made to your Fidelity Bloom Save account. Match rewards are deposited to your Fidelity Bloom Save account. They are based on eligible deposits into your Fidelity Bloom Save account in a calendar year and reset annually. Eligible deposits into your Fidelity Bloom Save account include transfers from outside or other Fidelity accounts, cash-back shopping rewards, and Round Up deposits.
Fidelity Bloom® $100 Offer Terms and Conditions
This offer is valid for new or existing Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC ("Fidelity") customers who make an initial total deposit of at least $50 ("Qualifying Deposit") into their Fidelity Bloom Spend account or Fidelity Bloom Save account on or after August 13, 2023 through the Fidelity Bloom app. This offer is limited to one cash award per individual. For clarity, existing Bloom clients who have not yet made any deposits into either of their Fidelity Bloom Spend or Fidelity Bloom Save accounts can participate in this offer by making a Qualifying Deposit by August 27, 2023. Existing Fidelity customers who have previously made deposits into their Fidelity Bloom Spend or Save accounts, including individuals who have already participated in the Bloom $50 offer, are not eligible for this offer.
Fidelity reserves the right to modify these terms and conditions or terminate this offer at any time. Other terms and conditions, or eligibility criteria, may apply.
To receive the $100 cash award:
• New customers will need to open the Fidelity Bloom Spend and Fidelity Bloom Save accounts through the Fidelity Bloom app.
• New customers will need to and make a Qualifying Deposit in either or both their Fidelity Bloom Spend and Fidelity Bloom Save accounts on or after August 13, 2023 (your "initial funding date").
• Existing customers who opened accounts prior to August 13, 2023 and have not funded their Fidelity Bloom Spend or Fidelity Bloom Save accounts can make a Qualifying Deposit by August 27th, 2023 to receive the $100 offer.
• For both new and existing customer, the Net Deposit at the end of the 7 calendar days after your initial funding date ("the Qualification Period") must be at least $50.
• For purposes of this offer, "Net Deposits" shall mean total external deposits or transfers (including cash, eligible securities and/or margin debit balance transfers) minus assets withdrawn or transferred out of the accounts within the Qualification Period.
The only eligible accounts for this offer are the Fidelity Bloom Spend account and the Fidelity Bloom Save account. Both accounts are opened for Fidelity Bloom customers. Each eligible account has unique features which you should consider prior to opening. This offer does not constitute a recommendation by Fidelity as to which, if any, account is appropriate for your personal situation.
The cash award will be deposited directly to the Fidelity Bloom Save account within 10 calendar days after the qualification period. Amounts deposited by Fidelity in the form of the cash award will be initially held in the eligible account's core money market position. You will be provided information regarding the available core position during the account opening process. No further investment or trading is required to qualify for this offer.
You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Before opening an account and having your cash invested in a money market fund as your core position, read the money market fund's prospectus for policies specific to that fund. A copy of this prospectus will be made available to you during the account opening process. You have the option of selecting a different money market fund as your core position.
This offer is nontransferable and limited to $100 per individual.
This offer is not valid for non-U.S. residents; persons employed by FINRA or a securities organization in a regulatory capacity; employees of Fidelity, its affiliates, and members of their immediate families and households, or the media who cover financial services. Individuals subject to backup withholding may not be eligible for this offer.
Certain states and local jurisdictions have laws that limit or restrict public employees from accepting items of value from vendors such as Fidelity that provide services to public institutions. Some public entities such as governments, state universities, health care organizations, etc., also have internal policies that may contain similar restrictions. If you are a public official or employee, you should determine if one of these laws or internal policies applies to you. By accepting the cash award, Fidelity assumes that you are in compliance with your jurisdiction's laws and institution's internal policies.
Cumulative cash awards credited to taxable accounts associated with your social security number or tax identification number, including this offer, other offers available within the Bloom app and those made by a Fidelity affiliate totaling $600 or more within a calendar year will appear on your consolidated Form 1099. You are encouraged to consult with your tax professional about appropriate tax reporting and treatment relating to this cash award and the deposit of the cash award in your account. Any taxes resulting from the cash award are your responsibility.
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.

I did not see the $100 during signup either, but I did see the $5 briefly.
I'm going to transfer in $300 - Do we need to split that incoming transfer between the Spend and Save accounts in the Bloom app in some specific way?
Update - looks like you should just deposit $300 into the save account as the 10% match only applies to save. It doesn't matter if you don't want to max that bonus through:
" This offer is valid for new or existing Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC ("Fidelity") customers who make an initial total deposit of at least $50 ("Qualifying Deposit") into their Fidelity Bloom Spend account or Fidelity Bloom Save account on or after August 13, 2023 through the Fidelity Bloom app."
If it weren't for the bonus wouldn't opening a regular brokerage account do the same thing? In my IRA account all uninvested cash goes in SPAXX by default
I think a difference is the ability to receive a debit card for the Spend Account. I use that for my phone bill as they now need a debit card.
Sad/happy to say it, but I'm at a point in my life where a $100 bonus doesn't even get my juices flowing. I used to pounce on these deals years ago. Not so much anymore. Sometimes I hate being jaded.

Same here, but I base it on the amount of effort and the mood I am in. In this case it took 5 mins to open the account and initiate a transfer as I already have fidelity accounts, so I just did it. I don't bother with most checking/savings bonuses anymore though. Also, with the high interest rates we can now get, a lot of those bonuses where you had to park huge amounts of cash are not worth it anyways.

I used to feel that way but now I look at it like "It's 'free dinner and a movie date' for 10 minutes worth of work on a Saturday while I watch my dogs play in my yard." Sure it may be like 2/10ths of 1% of my net worth (or something) but that doesn't' change the fact that it's free money and I wasn't doing anything else with those 10 minutes.
