Anyone have the phone number to call at Ameritrade to talk with someone about getting the necessary forms for the TAP arrangement? I've looked on their website but can't find any phone numbers. As everyone switches more and more to online it gets more and more difficult to talk with a real live person about anything.

Fyi
Be aware ----I've just had conflicting information from Ameritrade -
If your stock 'deposit' goes below the required minimum for the promotional bonus (ie - $25,000 for 20,000 SPG pts.) your promotion may be at 'risk'....my stock has been dropping so I added cash to my account to keep the promotion 'alive'...(The first half has already posted) - At first I was told when the promotion 'kicked in' you were protected even if the stock dropped - but another phone call told me that the minimum must be kept for the 9 months.........
And, thanks for the info. - I asked for and am being sent the TAP application forms for the (interest) 'sweep' for the cash in the account.....

Any promos out there that give you a certain number of free trades? or any promo for existing accounts depositing under $10k?

I know TD waterhouse has free trades for a month via their online ads (check yahoo finance, etc). The funny thing is they are merging w/ Ameritrade, becoming TD Ameritrade on 1/24 (official deal close). so you can get your free trades. Plus they have a free Ipod Nano for anyone depositing over 50K to TDW via one of their branches.

Apparently you cannot. Thought it would be perfect to buy through DL AMEX and use for Ameritrade. Does anyone know of any online trading companies that let you do this. Im surprised since it comes straight out of your bank, it's easier than sending in a check in my opinion.
