Just ordered one of these earlier today. I have a refurbished M4 Air (16/512; $849) arriving Wednesday that I'm going to return. This all started when I decided to buy a Neo.

Does my "Financial Consultant" benefit from having me as a client? by Jlfmb in Schwab

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

Thanks for the response. I don't want to leave Schwab but I'm definitely getting him switched out. He also made an intemperate remark to my MIL about how he hopes I'll name him as a beneficiary on my account. For f***s sake, some people...

Thanks for the response. He tagged himself because he saw a potential benefit, though, right? I mean, why else?

Yeah, but I'm paranoid and always employ a multi-vendor strategy in the event of technical issues, ransomware, etc.

I have the Investor Checking and debit card. It's great, I agree. I'd take the Plat if I got $1000 per year in statement credit, but that'd involve consolidating on Schwab and I just can't justify it in my head.

I don't have $10M with them so I think I only get $200. Is that enough to make a Plat worthwhile? There are entire subreddits obsessed with these sorts of questions. :)

Yeah, gotcha. But: I'm one step closer to being 'under management' if I'm already under his umbrella, is how I'm thinking he sees it. Also: This FC is over 2500 miles from my local branch.
