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.

If you can't link EFT bank account from app then try linking from website -- use app after that to transfer from external bank acc to Save acc

I opened accounts for my wife and I and we each immediately got the $5 bonus. The $30 match (for $300 deposit) came on 8/31 presumably due to month-end. Based on some other replies here, it sounds like we should expect the $100 after next week.

After getting both the $100 and $30 and $5, are people moving the money? Or keeping it in the save? Whats the APY on the save?

The compound effective yield (APY equivalent) for SPAXX as of 9/1 is 5.10%. It's the same fund for both the Spend and the Save 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?

I can confirm that it did give $.10 back on a $1 Google Play in-app purchase.

I'd put in $50 and got the $105 bonus ($5 signup + $100 reward).
At this point, would I need to deposit another $250 to get the full $300 match? Or would I just need to deposit $145?
From the FAQ it doesn't seem like the rewards count as deposits, but it'd be nice to get some clarification since the support center isn't picking up.

$250. You are correct, the rewards don't count.

I posted the other day prior to the match bonus, just looked here now and our timeline is carbon copy. Exact same dates/deposit/timeline.

Easy $135.

For those not familiar after 24 pages still. The "save" rates aren't what you see when you think of "savings rates".

SAVE is based on ticker SPAXX and the rate fluctuates.

For the performance:

YTD is 3.06%
7 Day Avg 4.98%

I charged the debit without moving anything from the save to the spend. Can confirm it did not draw from the Save acct when the spend was at $0

No credit check, no direct deposit, and only had to tie up $300 temporarily. Easy indeed.

5%?? I'm only getting 4.3 from capital one. 😭

Edit: I see 4.98
