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.

So I guess if you had any kind of fidelity account, you need to deposit by 8/27.
8/27 is only if you already had a Bloom account prior to this new promo:
"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"

Everyone should get the bonus as long as you didn't previously receive a Bloom bonus. It takes 7-10 days after the initial deposit clears. The 10% match portion is calculated monthly.

Thanks for posting, that isn't how I read it tho. I think the 8/27 deadline only applies to people that already had a bloom account.

Are we suppose to wait until we get an email saying to deposit the funds to get the $100 offer or just do it when we sign up?

Maybe the small print said the points would double only if you deposited the cash out into a Fidelity money account. Then they would be double that: $150. That's how my 2% VISA with them works, I only get 2% if I cash out to a Fidelity bank or brokerage account, otherwise, it is only 1% I get back.

15k points translates to $150 if you deposit it into a Fidelity account. Terms & Conditions clearly state this. The Fidelity 2% CB card is one of the best in the business. I've had it for years dumping my 2% into my brokerage. Always use that card when I don't have a better earn rate with another one.

In my fideility individual account, i am only offered FDIC as a core position. I can put the money in SPAXX or FZFXX or some other treasury yield money market but I'm not sure if i could then buy a security straight out of that or if i would have to transfer back to FDIC.
With Bloom Save, i can keep the money in SPAXX as a core account and trade directly.

Does anyone else use Fidelity for trading and how do you get around having a crummy 2.5% core account

as this account can be used as checking account (spend account), right now its 4.9% yield, no checking account gives you that!! switching checking account is painful as it involves so many autopayments updates.

Got my card today too. no $ yet.

Been giving this some thought.
'how does the company make $ by doing this.'
What we know is that now we have at least 2, most of us 3 separate fidelity accounts now.
One uh, debit visa card from them.
hmm what else. we gave them $50 to use for awhile.
Are they gonna spin this into some sort of sd effect super duper worthwhile 'Investment of the year' thing?
Write off all those $100 deposits as advertising and show the world how many $50 they made in a week?
Some fancy behind the scenes math goin on here.
