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.

Got the bonus. Can I close my account now without clawback ?
You will hopefully get a 10% bonus off your initial deposit as well (Up to $30 Bonus) after the start of next month, so maybe give it another week? I put $300 in both our accounts to maximize all three bonuses ($5 App Sign up, $100 Account Sign up & $50 Deposit, 10% of first $300 deposits - $135 for me and $135 for the wife!). Easy money.

Made an account on 8/21, $5 bonus didn't appear until 8/22 but was backdated to 8/21. Took a day to verify my ETF so my $50 deposit was on the 8/22 (into my SAVE account). Received my $100 bonus 8/31. Might try to see if I can double dip the bonus for opening a Fidelity Starter Pack 🤔

I did this. The $5 shows up almost immediately. There's no mention of the $100 bonus and I almost thought maybe I wasn't getting it.

Today.. exactly 10 days after I opened it, the $100 was there. No notification or anything.

I signed up 08/20 and deposited $300 to Bloom Savings. Got my $5 app bonus on 08/23. Just got my $100 signup bonus today 08/31 and hoping I'll get the 10% ($30) bonus on my initial deposit next week after the start of the month as well!

I signed my wife up the following day just the same and she's gotten her $5 app bonus and hoping to see her $100 tomorrow maybe!

We are both current Fidelity customers, but never had Bloom accounts. Also got our debit cards for these accounts in the mail about a week ago.

Pretty slick giving Fidelity 25 minutes time and a $600 loan for $270 free dollars in return! The rates are even better than Ally in the Bloom Savings right now though, so might just leave it there for the time being (which I'm sure is what Fidelity hopes we will do haha).
Can you share the exact steps you took to get all 3 bonuses? Do I need to download the app and sign up through there?

It's pretty much as I wrote above. So I downloaded the Fidelity Bloom app, signed into my existing Fidelity account through the app (or you can create a new account if needed). Then simply linked my checking account and transferred over $300 into the Bloom Save account I just opened and let it sit there. You'll get the $5 for opening your Bloom account in the app, the $100 for depositing at least $50 into your Bloom Savings account within 7 days and before the offer end date, and then the 10% bonus of your first $300 deposited (hence why I just put in $300 as it fulfills both requirements for the $100 and the 10% which is another $30 on top = $135 total!).

Do you get the bonus if you transfer $50 from a Fidelity checking account?

Quote from AviS1359 :
Does anybody know if there is a minimum purchase amount for the 10 cents per swipe reward on the debit card? Could you feasibly be getting 10% cash back on a $1 purchase? Or 20% on a $.50 purchase?
No minimum. Of course, some establishments have minimums before they accept cards.

I know many do it, but merchants aren't allowed to set minimums for debit card transactions.
