It's laughable you keep claiming others said things they never said and then getting mad about it.

Also kinda weird if we're being honest.
Not mad.
I am laughing at you and how ridiculously out of touch you are.

And while some people may have $100K in a retirement account, it may very well be in a 401K with an employer. Those are not movable to Merrill unless they leave a job.

You seem like you are... why else continually make up things nobody said and then yell about them?

This is not actually true.

Rolling your 401k money to an IRA is entirely dependent on the rules of your 401k.

Some, but not all (a distinction you seem to have a lot of trouble understanding exists) allow in-service rollovers in various circumstances.

Additionally- many people have 401ks where some of the $ got there from a rollover of a PREVIOUS employers 401k--and those funds typically CAN be rolled to an IRA while still working at the new job too.

So this, much like having enough $ to qualify for Plat Honors in the first place, will apply to some, but not all, people.

Quote from Knightshade :
The "AMAZON 5% CASH SUCKS BECUASE ANOTHER CARD OFFERS IT" folks are misunderstanding the value of the Freedom card.

It's not that it's 5% cash.

It's that it's 5x UR points.

Which for those who travel is much more valuable than 5% cash.


(also you can get 5.25% cash at amazon (or any other online purchase) year round with a BOA card and plat honors status- so that beats both the quarterly cards and the amazon card if you're a non-travelling cashback only person FYI)

Exactly. But to their defense, most people that ain't into cc rewards wouldn't know any better.

No. Not everyone has 10 credit cards and keeps track of all the deals. Man, the comments in here are ridiculous.
Thanks op for posting although I get reminders to activate anyways.
I'll use it for Amazon because I don't want random Amazon gift card balances because I have no idea when/if I'll buy something from Amazon. I much prefer a 5% Cashback so I don't have to worry about it.
I have all the credit cards and even I think the comments are pretty sorry. I wish I have the power to eradicate the human nature to whine and complain.

Well this sucks. I have an Amazon prime card, no limit/benefit there. Local Lowes sucks. Only shops from home Depot. There goes the quarter

You clearly dont transfer chase points to airlines. I can get easily twice the 5% back in value

I wonder it is only for in-store purchases at Lowes or does it also include online purchases at lowes.com

Thumbs up. I am switching my payment to chase even though I get the 5% from my Amazon card. I have never figured out how to leverage amazon 5% for more. Saving my chase points for when I finally get the chase reserve and get the 150% on several thousand dollars worth of points.
