Martin Luther King holiday is a strange holiday in the western US; as far as I can tell it\u2019s not treated with the same deference here as compared to the east, and especially the southeast. I bring this up because I wanted to offer wishes for a nice holiday weekend \u2014 but for some, especially in the west, it\u2019s not a holiday at many employers, so \u201cgee, sorry your mom blew up, Ricky\u201d I guess.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Merrill will pay you from $100 to $1,000 <\/a>to move your assets, even in a retirement account, over to them and hold it there for 6 months. Unless all of your wealth is in a 401k held at your current employer, you can probably move it to Merrill easily without changing your holdings or positions. It\u2019s also a lower total asset move than normal bonuses of this size.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Chase will pay you $2,000<\/a> to upgrade your account to a Chase Private Client account, which gives you a debit card that says \u201cChase Private Client\u201d as the main perk (BlueCat mentions that the Arts & Culture program is a big benefit too<\/a>). This one has a minimum balance of $250,000 held for 90 days though, so the barrier to entry is higher than the Merrill deal. As with that deal, you can move retirement accounts, investment accounts, or other banking system assets. This doesn\u2019t have to be a checking account transfer.<\/p>\n
