UGH! When I made my new hotel reservation (two days ago), it definitely did not mention anything about having to purchase the park tickets to get the FP. That is SO frustrating!!!
sorry Robin! I probably would have done what you did and found a discount on tickets and ran with it.
I just went and opened a Fidelity "cash management account" on Fidelity.com. Fidelity as a broker, not a bank, doesn't have a true checking account but this is essentially the same thing. There is mention of $1 atm fee for ea. debit more than 5 debits per month, but that's for cash accts linked to a brokerage acct, not the cash management account. There are no commonly seen $5+ flat fees for international atm access. You can be charged by the external bank, but Fidelity will reimburse you automatically that day. You don't have to save a receipt and go to a fidelity location. There is a 1% foreign transaction fee that is included in the amount charged to your acct (you won't notice it as a fee per rep) but this is better than the 3% I've seen for chase/boa. I spoke to a few reps - in regards to your concern on how long it would take - they said it would take about 48 hrs for them to process the debit card request and ship - then it could take about a week or however long it takes for the mail service. The rep applied for an acct Sat and it hasn't shipped yet. You don't have to fund the acct to have the atm card shipped. But initiated a $100 transfer just in case.
