I'll add my experience to those numerous reports: I had a Fidelity account in 2007 for 25K UA miles. I closed it at the end of the minimum term. A few weeks ago I opened a new account with them, transferred assets and after just a week received 50K AA miles. Will close this one as soon as permitted.
I'm amazed that they (brokerages) don't require any cash deposit. I just transfer assets from one firm to another. They regretfully don't get a penny for all these miles they give me.
