I have had Etrade for over 15 years now, but since Morgan Stanley has bought them, they have become really crooked...I used to get my funds transfer from my other bank in a day...now it takes 3 days or more...so they are robbing millions of $ from customers this way. Also did a similar deal a few months ago and i have still not got my bonus...which they said will be in my account a month from now....all told it has taken me more than 5 months to get the bonus. I am seriously considering taking my accounts to another bank brokerage ...

I'm similar - had E*Trade a long time 20 years-ish.
- Still have their Max*Rate checking. No beef with it, no major issues. Support is slow but the message center works, but I don't ask for much in the way of service. 3% interest is nice, no reason to move.
- I moved my investments (taxable and IRA) to Schwab a few years back on the advice of my financial advisor. I don't really see a huge difference between E*Trade and Schwab - they both do the job and fees are similar.
- My employer stock plan is with E*Trade and I can't change that. Having a checking account with them is convenient when I want to cash out and sell ESPP or RSU shares.

But a question - If you were a customer for 15 years, how would you qualify for a bonus 5 months ago. I don't qualify for this bonus - probably will be going for the $900 Chase bonus.

Did anyone else get a checking account with a dash "-" in it? For direct deposit, do I just ignore that? 10 digits total for the account number?
