Great Deal! This is an amazing way to gain thousands of airline miles and some free valuable Apple products, free trades; all without a hard inquiry on your credit record. If you have at least $10,000, don't turn down this amazing opportunity!


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:

Fidelity Delta Promotion

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.

Fidelity Apple Gift Card Promotion

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.

Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
The Apple® Gift Card can be redeemed at any Apple Store.® This promotional offer is only available to new or existing Fidelity brokerage account customers opening or depositing new assets into a nonretirement Fidelity Account® (individual or joint). Trusts, business accounts, Fidelity IRAs (or other Fidelity retirement account registrations), fiduciary accounts (including custodial and estate accounts), college investment trust accounts, 529 college savings plan accounts, and annuities are not eligible for this offer.

Cash and securities from eligible account sources will be aggregated to determine total account funding over the 30-day period following offer registration; assets will be valued at the close of business Eastern time on the business day, or next business day if on a weekend day or holiday, following receipt by Fidelity Investments of the assets into the account that is eligible for the promotional offer. Account holders must maintain a minimum account balance in the corresponding tier (minus any losses related to trading or market volatility) for at least nine months from the date on which the Gift Card is issued, otherwise Fidelity may charge the account the cost of the Gift Card. This promotional offer is limited to one per household and per lifetime of the individual(s) named on the Fidelity Account.®

Funding must come from an external, non-Fidelity source via any standard monetary transfer method (a standard Transfer of Assets form, check, electronic funds transfer, ADM deposit, etc.). New accounts or deposits into existing accounts must be funded within 30 days of registration. This offer expires on June 30, 2012, and is not transferable or valid in conjunction with any other Fidelity promotional offer. Accounts must be opened by June 30, 2012.

  1. Here's my experience. I signed up, funded the account, got my AA miles, and then signed up for Delta. I got an email stating I was ineligible for the Delta promo. I called but had no luck trying to get them to allow it. I then tried to get the the free trades promo. No luck. I have now signed up for the apple card. So far so good. I called Fidelity and was told I'm signed up and should be getting the card. I'll keep my fingers crossed until it arrives. You win some you lose some. But talk about easy miles!

    1. @Piecerate Thank you soooo much for the update. So it looks like that right now the only other promo you can double dip with is the Apple promo. I am in middle of cycling for the Apple Gift Card, so I will make sure to sign up then. By the way, the general rule when you sign up for more than one promo is not to call Fidelity about it. Because it's not according to their terms and conditions and we don't want to make them aware that all of us are trying to get more than one promo at a time.
      If you received the Delta email recently, then its a no go. But if it was a while ago then its ok. I had also gotten such an email but received the miles anyways. But I did this promo for myself a while ago.
      Thanks so much for this new info.!
