I've been looking hard at Vanguard, but I've heard good things about Fidelity. Your thoughts, suggestions?

Both are excellent firms.
My 401K is with Vanguard and I also have some other money with Vanguard. Their funds are very low cost. Their web site is very intuitive.
I do not have any experience with Fidelity, but many here and from the old msn forums also recommend them.

I have accounts at both - they are nearly identical - both excellent.

I've been looking into Fidelity myself, because they have a cashback credit card that puts the cash right into your IRA, or whatever Fidelity account you choose. You can even have it divided into more than one account. I thought it would probably be a good program if you put everything on the card and then paid it off every month, as is typical YM fashion. Even if its only $50 here and there, it all helps! personal.fidelity.com/products/checking/content/amex_rewards_card.shtml.cvsr?showcard=allI don't know much about Vanguard... |

If you are looking at Target Retirement Funds, then IMO Vanguard's are superior to Fidelity's. If you want to slice and dice index funds, then you will want to go with Vanguard.
If you are looking at total market index funds or actively managed funds or a brokerage account, then either is fine.
