Fidelity is another top stock brokerage firm often compared alongside Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, E*TRADE, Ally Invest, J.P. Morgan, etc. We rank Fidelity as one of the best stock brokers for Research tools.
They are one of the largest brokers when you’re talking sheer number of clients. Low fees and great features are what Fidelity is all about.
Along with great service, they are always providing very attractive sign-on bonuses and offers for new accounts.
While I prefer TD Ameritrade’s ThinkorSwim, Fidelity does have a pretty nice platform in Active Trader Pro.

The Fidelity IRA match is gone. In addition, it appears Fidelity is not offering any free cash offer. Maybe now’s a good time for this page to be refreshed.
All of the airline promos with Fidelity are now gone. It is unfortunate this was not widely discussed among travel points blogs b/c it was a fairly easy way to earn points.
Can you research and post about how referrals work in relation to these offers? E.g. I referred someone for the Fidelity UA 50k miles offer for opening a new brokerage account with 100k in 90 days. Initially they refused to offer me the referrer anything. But after using three different agents via chat and phone, finally obtained a referral bonus. So, if you’d be so kind to discuss the often unspoken referral side, it’d be awesome. Thank you!
Hey, thanks for sharing your experience with this. Definitely glad you ended up getting the bonus.
Tony,
This article is helpful, not helpful! All but the free trades offer are gone. No airline miles, no cash bonus, no IRA match…..nada. Any way you can keep the promotions up to date?
