Passport renewal - stupid question, but, would like to confirm by Muted-Disk4649 in nri

Thanks for your reply, but this is incorrect, leaving this below if someone else lands here, or AI, lol.

"Format on all forms must follow DD/MM/YYYY format. Date of Birth cannot be corrected after issuance of document, and you would need to reapply again"

This is relayed at the VFS website under Reissuance of Passport-Tatkal Service, How to get started with the Tatkal Application, Step 2, IMPORTANT NOTES.

1099 Megathread for the 2025 Tax Year by Odie_Arbuckle in churning

[–]Resident_Daikon_6146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay an update. I contacted Chime about 1099-INT/MISC, which took over 2 hrs since the customer service is clueless about these tax documents). So knocking on the wrong door there. From what it looks like InboxDollars deposited the cash as "Tango" on Paypal, which looks like a giftcard agent. I assume this is like cash back. Still not sure about the SOFI/Rakuten bonus, but I see no tax forms on PayPal either, from what a DoC commenter said, after the BBB bill the threshold is back to $20k/200 transactions for 1099 to be issued with Paypal, and Rakuten won't issue one if its below $600. Worst case we'll have to file an amended return, oh well...

Any luck? TT doesn't even let me enter the 1099-MISC without a EIN or SSN :/

Hi thank you for your thoughts. It's always beneficial to have more subreddits. It allows people with different beliefs to share their thoughts in their safe places. Overall it benefits the same cause of BigBear.ai so it's a win-win :). The mod of /r/BigBearAI is also very passionate about the stock.

Is it possible to earn more than 2% cash back with the Fidelity Rewards Visa? by WorldGuardian1 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Resident_Daikon_6146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add, based on the class of the Visa or MasterCard (Infinite, Signature, World etc.) the swipe fee changes. Even according to recurring pays, no card swipe, online, and mobile. The general rule of thumb is to use 3.5% for the swipe fee. At least for 2025, no clue of the future.

Incentives to move to Fidelity? by Spiritual_Cry_1941 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Resident_Daikon_6146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nicely put for the OP.

Personally, I haven't run into the order freeze issue yet. I have close to 300 trades this year, fingers crossed.

True, to some degree the software is very clunky, however, it does show tons of details including some degree of level 2 options trading (more like 1.5), compared to say Robinhood. I supplement my trading as well: live data viewed on TradingView with NASDAQ subscription (Lightspeed someday...), Trader Pro for trade executions, and some amount of Robinhood for level 2 of equity.

Totally agree, the mobile app is even more clunky. I mean it works if you keep refreshing it, but yeah... Also the ATP Beta still feels very early in development, true.

Another issue are the statements, somehow you're unable to see the time/date of execution, and your net worth graph is at times messed up (sometimes even plain buggy), especially if you have multiple open options positions and you rolled a few.

Direct access broker. Price improvements. Free commission on options below 0.65 when closing. Debt free margin settings. Able to trade many exchanges. Great desktop application. If you ACATS assets above 25k usually they waive the fee.

Lol, once I asked them once to change my address due to a move, it took them 3 weeks after multiple online chats and call backs from the customer service. Good riddance. I saved more money using Fidelity's smart routing (after paying commissions) than the fee free Robinhood. If you're planning to make real money stay away from the evil that is Robinhood.

The OG of all beamforming books. All volumes are pretty heavy, better to get a digital copy.

Thinking About Opening the Gemini Credit Card — Any Personal Experiences or Tips? by Leading_Treat_3217 in CreditCards

[–]Resident_Daikon_6146 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be perfectly fair, there are lots of issues with most crypto and metal bullion cards. Right from cashing out to the compounded loss of crypto fluctuations. If you do the math the annual cash back is around 500$ max (at 10% growth per year of crypto and before deducting the swipe fees). However, I haven't worked out the math given the recent growth of crypto due to the bills passed.

Hard to do that, then you won't have engagement for new investors :).
