My 401k is managed by fidelity. I presume that’s not a disqualifier?

Quoted: No strings. Just a way for Fidelity to become your broker. I got my $100 5 days after the deposit. https://www.spoofee.com/free-from-fidelity-opening-an-account/deals/967041 I know all of us are millionaires on here. But, most people do not save enough for retirement. If you open a Fidelity account with $50 in it, they'll give you $100. Open an account. Pick some index funds. Dollar cost average the shit out of it. Check out the Business & Investing subforum. Or don't Posted this a month ago. Got 2 clicks, then got memory holed. Can you close the account after you get the 100 dollars? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Can you close the account after you get the 100 dollars? Take the free money and use it to invest in some cheap stock with decent prospects. If you lose it, who cares? You could make some money, too. I made like $10k this year because I got drunk and bought a shit ton of some bullshit stock I read about. |

Beware, I signed up last month, funded the account.
Went to access it later and was locked out. Spent hours on the phone with customer service and learned their fraud department marked my account as fraudulent. They could not help me, promised I’d get a call back. It’s been two weeks, no calls. Made a SEC complaint this week. I suspect they are marking random new accounts and possible fraud, locking up the funds while they use them and giving customers the run around. If their customer service phone jockeys are any indication of company performance I’d avoid this outfit. |

Got more than that when I opened an Ameritrade account. Got lucky, just felt like moving from where my investments were and was told Ameritrade handled custodial accounts (basically a place to hold my investments).

For a lot of people, making a $1 million+ deposit for a promo credit is like pocket change. ————————————- Quoted: Beware, I signed up last month, funded the account.

The Missus got $100 for getting a Fidelity VISA that offered 2% cash back on everything. We were looking for one anyway, so it was a free C-note.
Fidelity is a good outfit. |

Lol You probably want to get an ETF of some sort then that tracks several stocks. I'm more interested in the ones that pay a dividend, like SCHD or JEPI. (Careful on jepi, read up on its tax implications) Or you could go with one of the growth ETFs like VTI that tracks the whole market. Or VONG or VYM. Lots of places to learn about this stuff. Seeking alpha is a good website to start. |

The $100 is simply re-directed marketing dollars being used to gain new business. The return on that is probably pretty good.

I said to myself, "hey, why not take advantage of free money."
I tried to open an account, and apparently, someone has already done so with my SSN  I manage my own 401, so it's not a third party account or anything like that. The email associated with it is a protonmail account that I don't recognize/isn't mine, and I've never seen the last four of the phone number. Now I get to look out for further communication from Fidelity to hopefully resolve the issue. TL/DR: Trying to open an account, I get to go down the identify theft rabbit hole instead. |

We just moved everything we could, without incurring tax penalties, out of our Fidelity account.
We moved it to a Schwab account and Fidelity insisted on mailing us a check made out to Schwab so we could hand deliver it. I don't know why they would not do a wire transfer. They used UPS next day air, and of course the check got lost. UPS says that they were too busy to deliver it the next day as promised and then lost the check. I must say that Fidelity was good about cutting us another check and UPS did get it to us. The lost check showed up a week later. We were limited in what we could invest in with Fidelity because it was a 403b account and we found that our Schwab account was making far more money. |

I recently did a direct rollover from one tax-deferred account into a rollover ira at Fidelity. The original outfit had to cut me a paper check, which I then had to send to Fidelity. It was a hassle but it got done. Maybe there is a security issue and a paper check is considered less likely to be scammed than an e-transfer. |
