Stock and ETF brokerage costs plunge

Agree completely on the Fidelity website. It's green and mean.

Fidelity will reimburse the fee that another brokerage may charge you to transfer funds to Fidelity. Just need to show Fidelity your statement from the other company confirming the fee/charge.

Where do present the statement? Online or at a branch?

Definitely online. Don’t know about the branch.

Approved for Fidelity Visa card. Had to temporarily unfreeze my credit reports.

It's a pretty decent 2% cash back card but there is a 1% foreign transaction fee when traveling, 1% is better than the more common 3% fee but not ideal.

I have a couple no foreign currency fee cards. Costco Visa and Capital One Venture.

Your Schwab ATM card also has no FTF.

There's no card that does everything unfortunately...

My foreign travel card of choice is Capital One Visa - no fees, decent currency exchange rates, and 1.5% cash back. Be sure to always pay in local currency, because the deals you get for currency conversion at the cash register are typically poor.

Citi Double Cash is another 2% cash back card worth considering.

My EDC will be Schwab debit for ATM, Fidelity Visa in the US, Capital One Visa or Costco Visa overseas... and Amex when I rent cars, they have a great flat-fee optional auto rental comp/collision policy, if you crack up a rental car, you walk away without dinging your regular insurance. It's primary, so your insurer need never know about it. It's not liability insurance, though, so if you have an at-fault accident, they'll know about it.

Oh... I need to swap my IAU for AAAU. 7 basis point difference in fees. $20 difference annually for me in my Fidelity HSA. This new no-fee world is going to allow everyone to migrate to the best-of-breed ETFs.

Are they different enough to avoid a wash sale?

I'm not claiming a tax loss.
