UPDATE 5/20/2012 FT members that have signed up for the Apple Promotion in April seem to be receiving their Gift Cards, even if they never received any emails from Fidelity on this promotion.
UPDATE 5/7/2012 FT members are saying the cycling might be dead. I am in middle of cycling for the Apple Promotion. I will let you know of my results.
Firstly, I will post my updated status; then I will tell you about the changes to the
Fidelity Promotions along with a new promotion.
My Status Update
Opened Individual Brokerage Account:
Received 50k United Airlines Miles
Received 50k Delta Airlines Miles
Received $100 Apple Gift Card
My Husband's Status Update
Opened Individual Brokerage Account:
Received 50k United Airlines Miles
Received 25k Delta Airlines Miles
Haven't Yet Signed up, I am still cycling money for the Apple Gift Card
My Husband received this email from Fidelity recently:
From reading through the Flyertalk Fidelity thread with 235+ pages I learned that the double dip with more than one airline is probably dead. The promotions now state "Promotional offers are limited to one per individual per rolling 12 months." This is probably why I haven't received my last Delta miles. But no one knows for sure. Can one still take advantage of the Apple promotion while taking advantage of the airline promotion? You can see a comment below from a DS reader Piecerate, saying that he has been able to and is awaiting his gift card.
Fidelity offers available now:
All Fidelity offers for the airlines now state that you can be an existing Fidelity member. In the past, this was only applicable to Delta, now it is the case for American Airlines and United as well. You can take advantage of a new promotion every 12 months.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
This promotional offer is only available to new or existing Fidelity brokerage account customers opening or depositing new assets into a joint or individual nonretirement Fidelity Account®.

Fidelity is offering an Apple Gift Card up to $500 when you fund a new or existing Fidelity Brokerage Individual or Joint Account. Receive an Apple Gift Card valued at $100 (for deposits of $75,000), $300 (for deposits of $150,000) or $500 (for deposits of $300,000). You must complete the transferring within 30 days of signing up for the Apple promotion. If you only have $25,000 that you are cycling, you can choose to do the cycling before you actually sign up for the Apple promotion. Because $25,000 will need to be cycled 12 times in order to receive the full amount of $500. I have cycled $25,000 four times to receive a $100 Gift Card. The terms mentioned that this promotion is limited to one person per household, but Flyertalk members have said that they have been able to receive a Gift Card for them and their spouse.
