Investing - Theory, News & General • The Final, Definitive Thread on Brokerage Transfer Bonuses

If small IRA eligible bonuses are being brought up, Merrill Edge is superior at $750 for $200K: https://www.merrilledge.com/offers/me750
The same $200K gets you $1,000 at Citi, but you have to deal with Citi. ME is much easier, at least in my experience. (We've done it twice at both.)

The most productive use of $500K is the combination of $2,500 for WF Premier checking and $200K for CPWM, as you cite above. Move $201K of ETFs to CPWM. They tolerate market fluctuations. Move the remainder to WF. They don't tolerate market fluctuations. If the balance drops to $249,999.99 for one day, you lose the bonus.
Just to make sure: Do IRAs count towards the Citi PWM bonus?
If they do and I have 3 originating IRA accounts (Vangaurd+Fid), would you recommend to first consolidate them into one before moving to Citi to minimize headache?
