Vanguard customer service is horrible, hours on hold no matter when you call. Their platform has suffered complete outages at least twice over the last year - no trades could be placed and the site was totally down. People lost lots of money and Vanguard will not do anything about it.
I closed my account a year ago and have not looked back. If you absolutely must have a vanguard fund, you can get them through other brokers, and if you have enough balance some will even waive the fee. You can also transfer the vanguard funds for free to your new broker, you just can't buy more without paying a fee. There are many low cost funds now giving VG a a run for their money - Fidelity has funds with 0 expense ratio now and others that are similar or lower fees than VG.
If your 401K is substantial you may be able to find a good incentive through another broker (to roll it into an IRA). Something to research, some will offer hundreds or thousands of dollars for you to roll it over, but you have to keep it there for 6 months or a year typically. But as far as just Vanguard vs Fidelity, Fidelity is far better (pretty much anyone is).
Remember when you buy use their Active trader pro.
IEX exchange is the lit exchange that affects price and avoids PFOF.
This matters why? it affects the price of the stock without market makers playing games.
Buy stonks through IEX exchange only
GME DD forums have uncovered lots of DD on how the real market works for the retail public to read in a simplified form.
up to you what you buy with 100 dollars
But I used the free 100 dollars to buy 1 share of GME to support their cause
ALSO DRS is free on Fidelity.
just tried the offer page and entered the application process for an Roth IRA account. one page asked about "teen information" and i couldn't continue. it's ridiculous that i don't have any teens in the household so i exited the process it redirected me to another account application page which i completed the process but there was no place to enter the code. i had the account opened and then contacted CS to close it within 5 minutes.
The code is pre-filled if you use the link. So if you hadn't gotten frustrated and closed the account, you would have gotten $100.
I wouldn't go anywhere else ..... and I've had Vanguard accounts.
Fidelity takes care of their customers.
Fidelity has the best platform of any I've used (Vanguard has the worst), however Fidelity is not always competitive in the incentives department unless you have a substantial amount of money and specifically ask them to match an offer from another broker, and even then it is up to their discretion. Just something to keep in mind.
They have licences and direct connectivity to all the major exchanges so there is no reason anything should be delayed.

Since you didn't qualify last time, just do it again this time and be more careful about ensuring the info you provide matches exactly what is on your bank account.

None of these apply. I used ACH just fine on my bank with Coinbase and never locked it. Everything is the same as it was with Coinbase, they even did verification micro-deposits and I was approved in a day or two. Fidelity, with the same bank, did not do verification micro-deposits and needed a bank statement. They rejected the first one for no reason? I provided a second one from the following month and by the time they processed and approved it, the promotional period expired. And my credit report is clean among all agencies, nothing is locked.
Not looking to do it again and get the run-around a second time.

Did you ask them to give the $100 credit anyway given the issues? I've always found them to be very amenable.
I'm a "premium" account holder (or whatever they call it). Therefore, I'll have a meeting with my financial advisor soon, and I'll mention the promotion issue. Hopefully, he can push it through.
It was automatic for me.
I saw the field with the promo code already filled in.
Did you guys receive a confirmation e-mail about the bonus as current Fidelity members?
For example, if one were to legally change their name or apply for a different social security number after they opened each account, could they open more than one?

Is there a procedure for transferring investments from one brokerage firm to another? I am looking to move everything out of Chase YouInvest (their version of Robin hood?) TIA!
