  • MikeVisagie Mike Visagie (@MikeVisagie) reported

    @etrade your customer service is awful. Been trying to change my tax status for a number of weeks. Service is atrocious! I phone, I hold and hold, and hold... Please could someone @etrade help me!

  • Shitco_investor shitco_investor (@Shitco_investor) reported

    taxes have me down... trying to use @turbotax but it won't import my @etrade 1099 --- it worked fine last year. What's going on e-trade? turbotax? I see this is a typical problem people are having this year (but not everyone...)

  • saghaulor Stephen Aghaulor (@saghaulor) reported from Hayward, California

    This morning I attempted to exercise stock options but accidentally sold them instead. I called @etrade support and after explaining my mistake and what I was attempting to do, they were able to undo my snafu. I really appreciated Ryan's assistance! Thanks again!

  • ErnestC_Smitten Ernest C. Smitten 🇺🇦 (@ErnestC_Smitten) reported

    @CallsPuts1 The @eTrade website seems to actually be getting worse since $MS acquired them. Things are breaking, like the "positions" window on the order placing page (checkbox can't be checked), and they don't even try to fix them, customer service pretends I'm requesting a new feature. 🙄

  • ECrick Esilla Crick 🇻🇨 (@ECrick) reported

    @etrade I've been trying to use my ATM card for two weeks but I keep getting an error message. Every time I call customer service the wait time is over two hours. This is not okay and #unacceptable yet to speak to someone

  • mboylan Mike Boylan (@mboylan) reported

    @etrade I have been trying since *December* to transfer out my remaining assets, and every time, you’ve rejected the request from my receiving firm despite processing them previously on a regular basis. You’ve now rejected my own request. This is borderline criminal. Please help?

  • Bananaz2017 Banana (@Bananaz2017) reported

    @IBKR Since 24 Jan I have been in touch with #IBKR customer service to help solve a critical issue with my portfolio positions. It's end of March and very little to no progress has been made. Defo NOT a no. 1 #Platform . @etrade did a much better job in a fraction of time.

  • feedb4k feedb4k (@feedb4k) reported

    @etrade How do I get support from you all? Every time I call the number its a wait time of hours! Who can I email or who can call me?

  • GailHedglin Gail (@GailHedglin) reported

    @etrade ETRADE PRO HAVING ISSUES AGAIN!! PRICE INCORRECT ON AT LEAST $PDD

  • Shitco_investor shitco_investor (@Shitco_investor) reported

    and I think this is an @etrade problem because I also purchased @HRBlock this year and went through the whole process -- same result (i.e., would not import my 1099)

  • bgameduck91 Mark Hartley (@bgameduck91) reported

    @etrade After 2 hrs on hold waiting for a cust service agt on Friday and today 1 hr 50 min on hold my frustration level is at an all time high. Your online messaging directed me to call the cust service #. Pls DM to get my very simple request resolved. #badcustomerservice

  • akshayjha94 Akshay Jha (@akshayjha94) reported

    @madmoneyrenato @etrade Did they find a solution for this? I still cannot log-in

  • Holo_Thunder Holo (@Holo_Thunder) reported

    @etrade - when will I be able to trade #crypto in the Etrade account? How long will it take you to offer this service?

  • mossifer Jennifer Moss Ⓥ (@mossifer) reported

    rage: @etrade customer support line "Your hold time is greater than 2 hours" FAIL.

  • KumareshPunyak1 Layman investment (@KumareshPunyak1) reported

    @etrade @MarkkanenJarkko F****ing customer service number to reach. No one answers the call. Tried 34 times on my false price execution by @etrade. No one responds and I am loosing more than 600 USD in my portfolio.

  • Saffhix KaFKa (@Saffhix) reported

    @etrade As always white trying to tell black what and how to do stuff. WTF?! Turn this **** around.

  • moTahawy mo (@moTahawy) reported

    @etrade in what world is putting your customer on hold for 90 mins ok?

  • KumareshPunyak1 Layman investment (@KumareshPunyak1) reported

    @etrade So far I tried reaching you guys 34 times in customer call waiting for 30 min at least each time. Useless portal. My stocks are executed in one price but next day the paid price is shown higher price. My profits are entirely rated by your frustrating system.

  • Anthony_IV Anthony (@Anthony_IV) reported

    @etrade you app is terrible. It’s completely unreliable and I need to close my account and go elsewhere. It has gotten worse since Morgan Stanley got involved. Im so disappointed. This is my experience 20 time last a day. Loading circles and freezing!!

  • jkommer78 jkommer78 (@jkommer78) reported

    @etrade Why is your customer service so terrible. I've literally been on hold for over an hour. Just pathetic

  • bustaroni Jon Diesel (@bustaroni) reported

    @etrade I need help getting my password. Your automated phone system isn’t working. I have been on hold for 90 min

  • camiadeluca Cam Iadeluca (@camiadeluca) reported from Manhattan, New York

    Tremendous customer service from @etrade just now. Unwarranted activity in my Roth IRA and the team handled swiftly and accordingly. Highly recommend their brokerage.

  • Arab_Amreekiya Arab Amreekiya (@Arab_Amreekiya) reported

    @etrade can I have customer support? thanks

  • okeedoke90 Vaughn Finefield (@okeedoke90) reported

    @etrade not sure why customer service sucks covid is over

  • KumareshPunyak1 Layman investment (@KumareshPunyak1) reported

    @RonanKeane @etrade Better not to use ETrade. Useless customer service and they execute orders at one price and display the paid price lot higher swallowing ur profits.

  • socialstcatmom lyss (@socialstcatmom) reported

    @etrade isn’t the baby already a meme? Your add is stupid and so are your business practices

  • bgameduck91 Mark Hartley (@bgameduck91) reported

    @etrade after waiting close to 2.5 hrs I finally connected with a agent who listened to my situation then sent me to a cust sat survey with no resolution. Do I get to spend 2.5 hours more on hold? Are you kidding me? #awful

  • socksoff5thave zhil (@socksoff5thave) reported

    @etrade Why can I not log into my account? wtf

  • Erock03644728 ErockSca (@Erock03644728) reported

    @concodanomics How different from @RobinhoodApp or @etrade ? Serious question. They're providing a service rt?

  • camiadeluca Cam Iadeluca (@camiadeluca) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @Pigeonomics @etrade Yeah I waited 30 minutes, but the help was A1 and from an American native speaking rep. Slightly annoying, but worth it in the rare cases I call.
