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.

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.
This, and I usually consider the hourly rate too. $135 payout for 15 minutes of work is like $540/hr when you extrapolate it out. I have a pretty decent day job and that's still an order of magnitude more than I earn from it, so well worth the time IMO. Plus as mentioned I may actually keep the account open and get some use out of the debit card for this one.
I don't know any trick to it-
It just showed up as an unadvertised bonus when I went through account creation on the app.
"Earn a $5 cash reward for completing your accounts setup" was a small popup during Step 2 choose username and password phase of signing up.
YMMV?
I signed up and the $5 bonus was shown along the way to entice to finish the process. What a cool thing to get 10% on debit card purchases! I thought the occasional 3 percent on my NFCU visa was good, but this is super cool!

I did not see the $100 during signup either, but I did see the $5 briefly.
How long it takes to have the $5 create set up bonus to show up?
I'm an existing Fidelity customer. I saw the $5 message when signing up.
Deposited $600 through the app, but didn't see any confirmation for the $100 for funding $50 or the 10% match bonus on up to $300 either in the app or an email.
Did anyone get confirmations for these bonuses?
How do you fund the account from existing fidelity?
From their FAQ " if your Save balance includes $300 in eligible deposits on July 31, you'll receive the maximum reward payout for that calendar year in early August."
I understand this as you really only need to park $300 for abit over a month every year for the $30
For the $100 it says within 10 days after qualification period and the qualification period is 7 days so within 7- 17 days from sign up according to T&C.
I suppose one can spend the bonus via the debit card they send you to take care of the bonus deposit or you can close the account and have it transferred?
Only if you get more than $500 in bonuses/incentives from fidelity during the tax year. If they report it as "interest" then any interest you make from them would count toward the $500.
Can I just transfer $50 from my Fidelity Brokerage to this new account?
I think you can. The FAQ says, "Eligible deposit types include: Recurring deposits; cash-back shopping rewards; Round Up deposits; and one-time transfers into Save from Spend, outside accounts, or any of your other Fidelity accounts."
