The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's incredible what banks, brokerage firms, and other financial institutions are, offering, to hold on to and attract money.

Are you speaking of account opening bonuses in this? My impression is that the bonus opportunities are down both in availability and in amounts, compared to a couple of years ago - and in many cases the return on a bonus + near-0% interest rate account is actually less than just putting the required funds in a 4.5-5% account at another institution. Likewise brokerage bonuses are sparser (though Public had a period last year where they were offering $10K for transferring your account, and then for some reason they doubled that bonus in my case - not that I'm complaining).
