Well that's interesting. Perhaps Fidelity is simply preventing the triple dip, and is aware of double dipping. The leading theory up till now has been that signing up for DL and MR too soon to each other generates the ding on MR.
I effectively did the same thing as you (in what is bolded):
1) signed up for MR (Wednesday)
2) Deposited (Wednesday)
3) Signed up for DL (Thursday).
Saturday got the ding e-mail for MR.
Of course, I also had a step '0' which was signing up for AA, opening the account and linking my banks, which was 2 weeks earlier.
I've 'only' been paid out AA and DL, and formally rejected on the MR.

Based on this...
AA + DL OKAY
MR + DL OKAY
so looks like you cannot get both AA and MR.

The only thing is... MR might work later, so you must weigh inability to get AA later vs. possibility to get MR later.

OK, crap, just realized I'm posting in the existing customer thread so need to re-post in the relevant thread. Mods, can we please merge just these threads?

Friend just tried AA+MR as a new customer. He got AA miles this weekend. Ding letter on MR. Seems like MR must go first (or wait until later).

I didn't get ding letter for MR. But I didn't receive any points (yet)

Well that is not encouraging because AA has to go first as it is only available to new customers. Hmmmmmm. What to do, what to do.

The best option might be to do AA+DL and try for MR in the future. As you point out, MR+DL precludes getting AA in the future (unless you can get a future override as an existing customer).

I will repeat for everyones sake. I got the DL after being denied AA Because I was an existing customer.
When I applied for the MR that BECAME AVAIALABLE later I enrolled for it and did not get a DING. I did an SM and was received a reply that I was not eligible For MR.
THEN 5 days later got the approval letter for the MR in a REGULAR EMAIL with a confirm # etc.
there is some confusion on the part Fido . Draw your own conclusions but be aware that Fido may be inconsistent !

Then I withdrew 50k X. 2
After i received the email that you can SEARCH for by using my name, I sent 100k back for the MR PROMO.
I agree with not making a fuss. I am willing to leave the 100k there, if I get the MR Miles that were promised in 10-12 weeks
