Terms for this offer from Fidelity
Offer details valid from Thursday, 2 December 2021
Key Conditions to Redeem the Rewards (“Fidelity Term”)
These are Fidelity’s terms and conditions for your participation in the ISA refer-a-friend program and to redeem the rewards and in addition to ‘Mention Me Full Terms and Conditions’. It does not replace the ‘Mention Me Full Terms and Conditions’ (including their Privacy Policy and/or Amazon Terms (together referred as “Third Party Terms”). Fidelity Terms are supplement to the Third Party terms and in case of conflict both set of terms should be read together without affecting the essence of the relevant terms and in case of such conflict, the Fidelity Terms will prevail.
Only referrals which have made three months prior to the original transaction date of the referee will be eligible for the refer-a-friend offer. We will not be able to retrospectively add or honour any referrals made before this date.
- The referrer is offered a £100 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card for each friend who opens a new ISA account completely via an online transaction and invests an initial deposit of £5,000 or more for the first time (“Offer”).
- To qualify for the Offer the referred friend needs to be a brand-new Fidelity customer. i.e. the individual must not hold any other investments or regular savings plans with Fidelity. If the individual has previously held investments with Fidelity, they need to have had a balance of zero for 3 years or more.
- The offer will only be applicable if the referee’s initial investment is a lump sum deposit of £5,000 or more paid for completely online via a Debit Card or through internet banking into a new ISA. ISA transfers, ISA regular savings plans and Junior ISAs will not qualify for the reward.
- The referrer will have 6 months from signing up to the refer-a-friend offer to refer friends (the "referrer validity period") and referees will have 2 weeks from signing up to the Offer to invest in order to be eligible for the reward (the "referee validity period").
- The reward will not be given if the referee is an existing customer topping up their ISA investments.
- The initial deposit made by the referee (friend) needs to be made before the end of the referee validity period and after being referred by an existing Fidelity customer who has joined the Fidelity refer-a-friend offer.
- The Offer will only be applicable if the individual has completed the entire ISA application online in one continual transaction on www.fidelity.co.uk. If an individual needs to be verified first due to anti-money laundering, tracking will be lost and the referral will not be able to be validated and therefore neither the referrer or the referee will receive a reward. Similarly, if the referee completes the transactions via an offline payment method, such as by cheque, then such transaction will not be eligible for the rewards. Only online payments via Debit Cards or internet banking will be eligible for the rewards.
- The referrer is required to be an existing Fidelity Personal Investing customer and must be over the age of 18 years (this overrides any age limit stated in the Mention Me terms and conditions). Customers who are either working with a financial ‘adviser’ or investing through the third party website of an ‘intermediary’ (such as Cavendish Online) will not eligible for this Offer.
- The offer will only be applicable for applications completed online via www.fidelity.co.uk from within the United Kingdom.
- Fidelity employees and its contracted staff are not eligible to be referrers and will not receive a reward.
- Rewards will be cumulative and so if multiple qualifying referrals are made to Fidelity, multiple rewards will be delivered to the referrer, subject to a limit. A referrer may not earn more 1500 GBP of reward value within the referrer validity period.
- Rewards will be emailed to the referrer (using the email address provided in the referral Offer sign up process) once the referred friend's investment has been validated by Fidelity. We aim to complete this process within 120 days of the referral transaction being completed.
- The referrer will be notified by email when the reward has been earned.
- The reward supplied will be valid according to Amazon.co.uk’s terms and conditions, please see Amazon.co.uk’s website for full T&Cs: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200272910
- Referral offers cannot be combined with any other offers, such as a 3rd party cashback offers or discount vouchers. If a referee has opened a new account by making an online transaction via a cashback site, they will only be approved for cashback and will not be eligible for the rewards under the Offer . This means neither the referee nor their referrer will receive the Amazon.co.uk Gift Card reward.
- Fidelity reserves the right to refuse the issue of any reward to any referred friend or referrer at any time.
- Fidelity reserves the right to vary any or all elements of this offer at any time without notice.
- Fidelity will be purchasing the rewards (for example from 3rd party retailers) and will be providing these to Mention Me who will be sending out the rewards by email to eligible customers on behalf of Fidelity.
- If the referred friend withdraws their qualifying investment from Fidelity ISA, or adds an adviser to their account, or transfers or re-registers their assets to another provider, within the 12-month period from the date of their investment, Fidelity reserves the right not to issue the Amazon Gift Card(s) and/or cancel any unused Amazon Gift Card(s) issued as part of this Offer.
