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.

Quote from person1976 :
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."

This is for the "Savings Match" only. You need to fund from an external source for the "Account Opening Introductory" offer.

"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."

"How do I fund my account to make sure I receive the Account Opening Introductory offer in Fidelity Bloom®?

When you open your Fidelity Bloom® accounts, we'll ask you how you'd like to add funds. You can link a bank account to initiate an electronic funds transfer (EFT).

How much do I have to deposit to earn the Account Opening Introductory offer in Fidelity Bloom®?

You must deposit a minimum of $50 from an outside financial institution to be eligible for this offer. Your deposit can be split in any amount between your Fidelity Bloom® accounts."

So deposit $300 into SAVE and $300 into SPEND ?

Edit: Just read I need to only put the $300 into SAVE for the maximum bonuses. Correct?

Where do you verify the two small deposits they make in you external funding account? Do I have to wait for an email?

I don't know the answer to the first part for sure but I don't think so. That said, the signup process linked it to my main Fidelity account and I can see/operate the accounts from the traditional interface.

I was wondering the same thing. I went forward and figured worst case I'll pull out my $300 and pocket the $30.

fidelity sucks

wow…plenty fidelity sheeps on the thread
I have Fidelity, Schwab, Etrade, Tradestation, and TD brokerage accounts. They all suck in various ways. But do please tell us which one you've found that has never sucked? I may want to move some of my stuff with that unbelievable unicorn.

Quote from ncgo :
I linked my newly created Bloom account to my Fidelity account. Now, when I try to load funds into Bloom all it shows me being able to add funds to my regular Fidelity account. The Bloom account does not show up in the 'Transfer To'. Any suggestion?
I had the same problem. I needed to link the external Bank Account I added with the SAVE account specifically.

Try adding the "Link Bank Account" again on the Transfer screen of your SAVE account. You should be able to select from the master bank account you previously added.

Unlike the fee-happy people at TD Ameritrade, Fidelity never charged me a $38 "reorganization fee" to sell 50¢ worth of stocks after a reverse stock split that I never knew about or asked for. Good thing Charles Schwab took them over and don't have a similar fee either.
