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.

They really don't know why it's not giving the bonus to some and just looking for reasons to get people off the phone. The terms and conditions state "total external deposits"...but external is not defined. It could be external to Bloom, external to Fidelity, external to the U.S.
Well here are some things to note based on the FAQ
New customers will need to and make a Qualifying Deposit in either or both their Fidelity Bloom Spend and Fidelity Bloom Save accounts on or after August 13, 2023
For clarity, 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, 2023.
Existing Fidelity customers who have previously made deposits into their Fidelity Bloom Spend or Save accounts, including individuals who have already participated in the Bloom $50 offer, are not eligible for this offer.
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.
Opened 3 accounts myself on 8/19, wife and adult kid on 8/20 all separate e-mails & funding accounts. (Same address on all)
All accounts were funded on 8/21 save was $301, Spend $5.0 for each.
I received $100 bonus on 8/31, nothing for wife and kid as of 9/11. I had an old Fidelity 401K but $0 in it.
Wife used Ally Bank to Fund Account, she has a HSA with Fidelity. NO $100.
Son used Alliant Credit Union to Fund Account, first account with Fidelity. NO $100.
Fidelity is just REFUSING to pay the $100 bonus! I expect them to say only 1 bonus per address.

Spouse and I signed up for the last Bloom promo. Same address. No problem with rewards. We have closed the Bloom accounts.
I suspect we are eligible for this promo since we don't have a Bloom account.
Worked fine for me, account now has $435.29 on a $300 initial deposit from late last month. Not exactly sure when I can close the account without incurring some kind of penalty so I'll let it ride for a month. The yield in the money market account is about 5% right now so better than most savings.
Anyone else having issues with logging into the app? I had to reset two times and it won't let me login after I try to go into the app the next day after it was working, I've never have had this kind of problem with an app before.
Currently trying this myself, I'm not sure if they will give 2 promotions to one account but they are currently offering it, so it doesn't hurt to try. I thought I read something about one promotion per account in the Terms & Conditions (Offer is limited to one bonus award per individual), but that could mean one promotion per account per service offered by Fidelity. Worst case you only get $100 for a $50 deposit. Best case you get $200 for depositing $100 ($50 to Fidelity Bloom Account, $50 to Fidelity Starter Pack Account).

Both fund with external accounts.
That's what I'm wondering
