I receive a post card from American Express which indicates that I could earn 25,000 bonus American Express membership rewards points for opening an account at Fidelty and make required deposit. I think this is a good chance to earn membership points which only requires an easy transfer of your money to Fidelity account and then you can close it after you get the bonus points.

The massage on the post card is very short:
