They offer the miles NOW and that too on UA.

Have about 11 accounts with them.

Ameritrade offers a similar deal for $50K but is more attractive for smaller deposits

http://www.ameritrade.com/united/

This is not recommended for accounts under $2K though given the $15 quarterly account maintenance fee

Don't forget, Fidelity has $24.99 comissions vs Ameritrade $10.99

Here's a few more signup deals:
Ameridrade - Starwood
http://www.ameritrade.com/spg/
$2000 - 3000 starpoints
$10,000 - 10,000 starpoints
$25,000 - 20,000 starpoints

TD Waterhouse - American
http://www.tdwaterhouse.com/aolaa/index.html
$10,000 - 10,000 miles
$50,000 - 25,000 miles

Oh, and none of this works with IRA.
Anyone knows of any IRA - friendly offers ?

I believe aggregated family assets with Fidelity of $100,000 (can be over multiple account numbers), drop commissions to $14.95.

Etrade, in addition also offers 2,500 ff miles or $50 for each referral of a friend. Does Fidelity, Ameritrade or anyone else offers ff miles or $ for referrals?

Bourne: may I please understand: do you have 11 accounts with Fidelity or Etrade and each gave FF miles to your same United ff miles account?

I know Ameritrade offers 3 free trades for referrals (and, naturally, I would be happy to refer you and also send a small gift as a token of my appreciation ).

With regard to the earlier question about account maintenance fees, read the T&Cs of the various offers...

I know it says it's for new customers only, but if we're already Fidelity customers, do you think we can still get it?

I do have 11 accounts with Fidelity but none earn or have ever earned FF miles. I have never stepped on a UA plane and hopefully never will.

I am an AAdvantage elite from Chicago and proud of it. My knees do not care what my home airline is

BTW, 11 are easy. 2 Brokerages, 2 Rollover, 2 Roths, 2 IRA, 2 401Ks and a variable annuity. I don't have a checking account with any bank. I like Fidelity because I can look at my bottom line by logging into just one account.
