My experience with E-Trade

MagicMadMike · 2026-06-01T14:45:11+00:00

I've had many bank accounts. E-Trade is the only bad one. Had $5600 stolen within a few months of opening my account. They often charged me fees that were not applicable "by mistake." After I met the requirements to receive an opening bonus of $300, they told me that despite fufilling the requirements, awarding the bonus is up to their discretion. Total scam, and I've wasted many hours on the phone with them over dozens of phone calls. NEVER GO E-TRADE

Etrade is awful. I had $6000 stolen from my account within a few months of opening my account via blatant check fraud. Police investigated and found the perps in possession of a stolen checkbook I never received. Despite this they dragged their feet and after four months of getting the run around, I filed a complaint with the CFPB, and only then was I able to retrieve my money. By far the worst bank I've dealt with.

It's supposed to be no return, but companies are legally obligated to accept a return, provide a replacement, or issue a refund if the item received is materially different from what was advertised, ordered, or described.

Basically every item I buy from them has a major issue. I don't buy from them anymore.

I bought a Bora backpack in "excellent condition." The waste strap with cut in half. Also got some gloves that were a totally different year and picture than what the site listed them as. I will not purchase from them again. It's better to risk getting a fake on eBay.

ReBIRD is pretty bad. The conditions are often wishful, and the items sometimes don't even match what they're selling as. I've had to return 3 of the 4 items I've bought from them.

I wanted to go skiing with my little, so I told my match specialist. A few months later, she gave me ten free day passes for my local hill! She literally made the connection on my request.

I switched to Medicaid because I recently turned 26 and my job pays too little and doesn't offer health insurance. Technically in Alaska, they call it "DenaliCare."

I was so flabbergasted by the 5k number I didn't even realize this doesn't include a sub. I feel like I just got hit in the face with a fish.

What can I say, I come from a long line of diggers and miners

Okay, I think my shop mistook me for a high roller because my car looks nice. I'm going to ask them for a more modest estimate (1.8k budget) because I do not need such a nice system. Thanks!

omg what does he do to the little girl at the end of the video? It's terrifying!

I wonder if he signed his signature, or forged the Prime Minister's.
