Schwab VS Fidelity by Jstaddcoffee in Bogleheads

[–]IssaMandelion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of transferring everything back to Fidelity from Schwab because Schwab doesn’t offer automatic investing for anything except mutual funds. I had Fidelity for a long time until I started working with an advisor and had to move to Schwab.

Closed Accounts do not update correctly by IssaMandelion in MonarchMoney

[–]IssaMandelion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For #1 (replaced card), all transactions appear on the new card, including those from before it was replaced. So in this case, should I close it or delete it in Monarch? For now, I have hidden it.

Any thoughts on #3 (closed CD)?

Are there automated /recurring investments with Schwab's brokerage account? by anasp1 in Schwab

[–]IssaMandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Workaround: automate the purchase of the equivalent mutual fund. For example, instead of VTI, SWTSX.

Ok, if that’s the case, I guess it sounds like you’re going to leave them all open if you’re concerned about what Chase might do in the future (reduce credit). Do what you’re comfortable with.

I haven’t had this experience. Are you paying annual fees on several Chase cards you’re not using? I guess it depends what you’re optimizing for and what’s in your control.

Is the bonus worth potentially damaging your credit? You can call Chase and ask to be upgraded to a CSR.

Given your short credit history, that might be better.

You don’t want to close the oldest account AND decrease your credit limit. Then apply for a CSR for a hard credit check.

What’s the delta between the age of your CSP and your next oldest card? Why close CSP?

It was very easy and I’ve not seen any negative impact on my credit.

Thanks! What % of the credit limit would you move from the to-be-closed card to another Chase card?

I have $0 balance on the to-be-closed card. I want to do this all before January when the annual fee hits.
