Don't the trade fees reduce the value of this promotion? How much are those fees? And what about the risk? Has anyone doing this here calculated the money they put in vs. what they got back after all was done? I have maybe 10k to spare, but I don't want to risk it losing anything since the trades are market related.

No trades needed. Just put in the money, take it out, and do all over again.

Total cost is $0

any idea if the name on the ff account has to match the name on the fidelity account? would it be a mistake to us a ff with a different name?

Unsure, I've been wondering the same thing. I would guess it's np, but that's just a guess

anyone familiar with other offers where they may have encountered such an issue?

So is it better to signup for the accounts first, then register the promotions at a later date to extend the time requirement? Which account do I open to not have any "auto" trades and only trades that I authorize?

I assume that no trades done means much less risk exposure, but still the money is not insured. Am I correct?

I want to do this, and I have 25k to play with. I've never been a Fidelity customer before.

What do I do to get the AA bonus, the DL bonus, and the Apple GC?

scwam · « **Reply #104 on:** March 04, 2012, 11:59:04 AM »

As I understand:
1) Open an account under AA promotion
2) After getting to the first AA bonus tier then register for the Delta promo.
3) Register for the GC.

It seems the tiers are retroactive on the subsequent registrations for meeting the accumalitive deposits.

if you only have 25k to play with, dont register for the gc till u get close to churning $300k. the gc thresh hold has to be reached within 30 days which you wont be able to do within one month

A side point on this offer, I think I might have gotten messed over bec of the CO/UA merger! i registered using my UA# which now became a CO number. I wonder if the deal is still linked to my account. I got the miles from delta, but not from UA yet (i got 15k UA when I reached $25k dollars, but nothing more since the switchover)

That would not make a difference. Miles would forward automatically.

When transferring the money in and out, do I need to leave something in Fidelity? Say 1k? as a placeholder so it doesn't have a $0 balance

I left 1k, but no one knows for sure. They dont seem to monitor balances

Does it matter which account type I choose? Brokerage or Brokerage/Cash Management

I have 3 online accounts and trying to figure which is faster without fees to intiate the transfers.
I get the feeling that "pushing" the money is faster than "pulling" the money. I also realize there
could be push fees. It seems there is a 5 - 6 day hold on funds if they are pulled from the external
bank account. Seems like it would be best to always push the money out from the Fidelity account.
Am I correct?

I funded my account just now. It says the transfer will be complete by 3/5/12, isn't that quick? Do I turn straight around and transfer the money back out to my bank after it clears on 3/5/12 ?

I am pretty confident they will. Is it possible tough that forwarding takes more time? I am not yet ready to risk calling

compddd · « **Reply #117 on:** March 05, 2012, 11:24:56 AM »

Maybe it's better to wait to do the DL until after you have your 50k AA or UA secured? It's cumulative and keeps track anyway right? Cycle 100k for AA or UA, then sign up for DL offer and they'll post automatically?

I got an extra $.12 added to my account, no stocks bought, and no trades made. Any ideas?
Also now I'm holding by $77k, i got 25k DL but only 15k in CO, last time they posted the same day. Did this happen to anyone else?
