not much to worry there, I'm on an Elite I picked up before the price increase.

Also, I will have a Thai bank account, so if it does happen I'll just use that. Already checked with my pension, and if necessary they will direct deposit to a foreign bank.

That said, I won't have a US mailing address. Really no need.

Charles Schwab is fine with it. They actually advertise to expats

@Brad ******

that's fine. It only restricts what you can invest in, and I'm not a big investor anyhow.

I have a Schwab account. I will give them my Thai address once I move. I will keep the same account and have all my pensions go into it, including my SS. You do not need to maintain a physical US address, and I would worry about them being more likely to cancel you (the bank) once they figure out you don't live there. How? If you go all year withdrawing money in Thailand only and regularly transfer money into a Thai account without spending or withdrawing a cent in the US. Get a Schwab account. You'll be glad you did.

Contact the card company. It may have been flagged because someone hacked it.

@Sam ********

you just asked a whole group of foreigners.

If you wanted to know what a side car was called in your own country, would you ask a foreigner? Thinking the same thing applies here.

Another Schwab guy here.
