If you're ok putting in 50K and never touching it (like a true boglehead), I think you can ignore the fees since you're never trading.
After the rout in bonds recently I decided to do this... since I just let this $50k sit there anyway solely to qualify, I might as well be earning some yield on it. For $20 easily worth it imo. Will be nice to see that $50k doing something for me finally.
