So right now, I'm thinking:

$25K to some credit union that gives good APR (suggest one that doesn't require a lot of work? I'd rather give up 1% and not have to do a bunch of transactions)

$whatever it takes to Fidelity

$everything else to BankDirect
I'm in the exact same boat as the OP (also in SEA if I may add )

Here's my plan on how to invest my $100k:
put ALL into Fidelity now to get 50k AA, and later 50k Delta. Once miles are in, I plan to withdraw all but $1k or $2k, and leave the accounts open for 6 months.

open Bank direct and use this as my new "savings" acct, so ExitRow, pm your referral link too if you'd like.
