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.

Is this a good place to park your money for a fair interest rate. Is it easy to move money in and out, any limit on transactions. Do they take photo deposited checks? Both save and spend get same interest rate? Good for international cash withdrawal? Truist gives crap rates. Thumbs up and thank you. Easy $135, took about two weeks total

Easy to move money in and out, yes.
Any limit on transactions, no.

Both save and spend get same interest rate, yes.
Good for international cash withdrawal, no. I would look into the Fidelity Cash Management Account for that, as its debit card has unlimited ATM rebates; including international.
Still being advertised on their website. I did it today and had a login issue that required I call Fidelity, and the rep confirmed this offer code was applied correctly. I used the QR Code on the webpage for Bloom to find the app. Rep was extremely friendly and helpful, especially for after-hours.
Note: the 08/27/2023 date in the terms and conditions is for existing customers.
Signed up me and my wife each on the same day (Aug 23). Did everything identical. She's had the full $135 for a while now while my account is still waiting for the $100

Same. Deposited 8/23. Last checked a min ago. Still waiting too.
Link Bloom debit card to Venmo.
Make 300 x $1 transfers to spouse/friend who will refund $300.
(IIRC there are ways to automate if you're time constrained.)
Earn another $30 from Fidelity.
I signed up with my own details a couple weeks ago and after making sure the reward was legit, my husband signed up last night. We are totally unable to link a bank account, anyone else seeing this? Tried two separate devices. Need to get the money in before a week is up...Maybe ACH from the other bank? Will try.

That's creative no doubt, but Fidelity will almost certainly shut down your Bloom accounts if you do per what I've read on DoC and elsewhere.
