Open HSBC in the US? No charge for transfers between HSBC accounts. You keep Premiere status on all accounts if you have Premiere status in any one of them.

Yes

I move it via Revolut

My bank allows me to send it to a dirham account based in the US, you still pay a fee to move money out here from your bank but I end up saving a little bit over just having my bank here send it to a US acct

WIO is the best and easiest option
