So, I think we hit the 9 month mark and can withdraw the $200

I’d give it until after 7/24-8/20, I’m not aware of anyone who received bonus before 10/24-11/20.

I got my bonus on 10/18. And the T&Cs cleary state: “Account holders must maintain the minimum qualifying account balance (minus any losses related to trading or market volatility, or margin debit balances) at Fidelity for at least nine months from the date
on which the final qualifying deposit is made, or Fidelity may charge the account the cost of the gift card. In addition, account holders must not use qualifying deposits to purchase insurance or annuity products offered or distributed by Fidelity within 60 days of receiving the gift card, or Fidelity may charge the account the cost of the gift card. Please allow up to a week after the qualification period for the gift card to be emailed to you.”

My deposit hit on 10/17. So I was clear on 07/18. I left it until today just to rule out any calendar month shenanigans.

Oh I see that too, thanks! And another 35 cents in interest just posted, so withdrawing my $203 now.

They are denying the bonus due to my preexisting fidelity cash account. Looks like you need to be a completely new fidelity customer to be eligible for the 100 amazon gc.

I just called up Fidelity and they said my account doesn’t qualify because they ran out. I informed them that I opened my account in the time frame they gave and that I have chat logs from their representatives saying that my account would qualify. But they said that they had ran out and my account wasn’t opened in time.

Wtf fidelity. I asked if there’s anyone else I could talk to but they said no.

Update: I got an email to rate my interaction with Fidelity and I gave them the worst scores possible and a supervisor contacted me over the last couple days asking why I gave such low scores. I explained the situation and he said he’ll get in touch with the promo group and he’ll call me when he hears back.

Today he called me and said the promo group said I didn’t qualify because I opened the account not the way they wanted (I clicked on the link so not sure what they mean). But they saw that the account was opened and funded in the window set by them so they’re going to send me the gift card to the email on file.

What a hassle.

Which of your previous accounts was still open? Was it a Cash Management or brokerage account by any chance? Meaning you now have 2 accounts of the same type and still got the bonus?

Well this is a huge success story and the best email I have gotten in a long time. I was told I wouldn’t get the $100 gift card because I previously had an account with fidelity and it was actually still open. I went ahead opened a new one and put $200 in. Several weeks later (today) I got the code for a $100 amazon gift card.  William Charles

I’m confused, so do I need to keep $200 in there for 9 months or can I just leave it at 0?

The former to keep $200 in there for 9 months.

10/18 – Opened accounts.
10/22 – “Thanks for registering for the Amazon gift card offer from Fidelity.”
10/25 – Funded account.
11/02 – “You held up your end of the deal by depositing $200, so we’re holding up our end with this $100 Amazon.com gift card.”

DP: opened account on 10/16/18. Funded $200 into investment account on 10/20/18 via Ally ACH pull. Received Amazon GC via email on 11/2/18.

Have also received a ton of junk mail and several phone calls from Fidelity along the way. Have blocked all numbers so far, but rather annoying.

Just a DP: I did sign up when the deal was on – Got the $100 Amazon GC even when I had a recently closed trading account. I also have active 401k, IRA accounts with them.

I am the same DP as you, closed my trading account in June and signed up on the 18th and when I live chatted the rep said my account has eligibility registration error, I called up and they said this offer was for new customers only and since I had a account at one point I am ineligible. I had to point out the fine print in the T&Cs and they dumped me onto a supervisor who finally said he would submit a ticket to see what could be done about getting my $100 Amazon. What a nightmare.

I chatted with a rep at some point and they said the same thing to me. I swent ahead and applied anyways and it worked. I am sure your GC is on its way.
