As of 2017, this offer has expired.
File this one under “You need money to make money” – or, in this case, to make miles.
But if you have between $25,000 and $100,000 in another brokerage account, you can get up to 50,000 bonus miles on American Airlines, United Airlines, or Delta by moving money or securites to Fidelity. If you have multiples of this, you can do the same thing every year. If you have this amount in a Fidelity account now, and nothing elsewhere, you can transfer it out, wait a while, and then do the deal and move it back in.
How it works:
Fidelity offers this program for both new and existing customers and in personal non-returement accounts only. You simply need to move money or securities in the following amounts to earn the associated bonus:
Deposit amount | $25,000+ | $50,000+ | $100,000+ |
Miles earned | 15,000 | 25,000 | 50,000 |
Can I do this more than once a year by opening multiple accounts?
If you have someone else you can open a joint account with, yes. But you cannot otherwise open multiple accounts yourself as it goes by your social security number.
