Was not aware that all CMA features are available in Brokerage account.
Looks like the only advantage of CMA is ATM fee reimbursement. Funny how Fidelity reps could not articulate that years ago when I inquired about differences of accounts. Have been using CMA + Brokerage for a long time now.
Will have to shuffle things around a bit to optimize my setup. I was using CMA as a hub but now knowing this I can move everything to Brokerage and only use CMA for cash withdrawals with debit card. I wonder if cash needs to be settled to withdraw, i.e. can I just transfer from Brokerage to CMA while at the ATM and withdraw?
You don't need to do that . On any cashiers it auto liquidates the amount needed. Fidelity also has a Reddit board and they have answered this in that board as well
If you already have SPAXX in your CMA, than it will automatically convert to cash when you use your debit card, this one of the few funds on Fidelity that can do this. If you have cash as well in your CMA than Fidelity will use that first.
Neve heard of Fierce, sounds like a cash account.

There are so many choices for us to make, and too many factors that go into our choice.
Personally, I own t-bills. The last 2 purchases had implied interest rates around 5.5% (17-week duration). I live in Maryland, which has a state income tax and calculated what the equivalent CD/savings rate would be. The equivalent rate would be around 6%. In other words a savings account or CD would have to earn 0.5% higher to have the same after tax return as a t-bill.
Also, VUSXX would have a similar advantage as it invests mostly in state tax exempt bonds or bills. I own VUSXX, which I use for quick cash access. Recently I moved money from VUSXX at Vanguard to my checking at Fidelity. The money showed up in checking in less than 2 days.

I can't add this to my citizens bank access
You get the rates as long you keep $5,000 or higher. If you have 4999.99 you'll get the lower rate

Some are offering questionable teaser rates, they'll say 5.5% but in the fine print it says the real rate is 5% but they'll give you an extra .5% for the first month
