Just want to warn you that E*TRADE had made promises to their customers to give you promotional frequent flyer miles (5000) if you open up an E*TRADE account via the web, and they said through their customer service dpet that they would post them after 60 days. When you go back to them to collect on this, they tell you that if you didn't get the miles immediately, you cannot get them. It is obviously set up as a scam, but if they cut your promotional promises, imagine what they might do with your money.

My suggestion is to stay away from E*TRADE and to pass this info on to anyone thinking about using them as a trading company.
