Interesting offer. Account needs to be open and funded six months. $50 fee is waived for accounts with $25k or greater funding. I suppose if one has the cash lying around, just have Fidelity invest it in something safe.

Hasn't this offer been around a long time now? I even used to see this on some UA ticket jackets for a while. Anyway, I used it last year (10,000$ for 15,000 miles) thinking I'll cancel in 6 months, but I still have the account, and its up some 10% , so not a bad deal overall.
While on the topic, has anyone succeeded in doing this for more than one person per household (which is the restriction they list)? I am thinking I will open an account in Mrs Eulalie's name.

Previous offer also allowed $25,000 to be added to existing accounts. This one evidently doesn't.

Because I didn't open an account fast enough (less that 7 weeks allowed), I was told that the offer lapsed for me. So I just signed up again and will respond to that package once it arrives. Be aware that they only give you so long to respond and they don't mention that in the promo materials.
