I have had nothing but problems with E*TRADE posting miles. My miles posted after 6 months. That too after calling them at least 10 times. I referred two of my friends to them and I should have received 5k miles for each account. E*TRADE flat out refused to credit my account, stating that they had no indication that the accounts were referred by me. I had no paper trail since I had done this on the web (BTW you can only do this on the web). This is surely a scam. They charge exorbitant rates per trade and their service sucks..
