We selected to earn United miles. Nice 50,000 United miles was deposited into our non-retirement Fidelity brokerage account after about 3 weeks of money transferred into the account. Rather than applying online, this time I called Fidelity at 800-544-3719 to setup account and receive approval on the phone. The Fidelity representative explicitly reminded me that the new deposit needs to stay in the account for at least 6 months in order to keep the 50,000 United miles. But I see this in the promotion.
Account holders must maintain the minimum qualifying account balance (minus any losses related to trading or market volatility, or margin debit balances) at Fidelity for nine months from the date on which the reward is received.
