miles for brokerage accounts
I just got a notice from TD Waterhouse that they are raising commission rates again, the third time in as many years. I'm fed up and looking to take my business elsewhere.
If I can get miles for this, so much the better.
I prefer AA miles, DL is second choice.
So far, the best I've found is 25K DL miles from Ameritrade: http://www.ameritrade.com/delta/
Are there any better current offers?
Does anyone have any positive or negative comments on Ameritrade's service?

I've been with Ameritrade for almost 2 years. They have a easy to read interface and pretty good customer service. The only downside is that you don't get the streaming data for free (they have couple of paid options though). Overall, I'm pretty satisfied and the fee is a $8 a trade which is pretty decent.
Hope that helps.
I'll probably move some of my stuff to TD for the miles (penny stocks that I don't trade everyday) as soon as they go up some (I keep dreaming
) so I get at least that 10'000 bonus miles.

Ameritrade is fine and cheap for what it does. But it's offerings are limited. No bonds, no CD's, for example. Also, the only way to get your money out for free is to tell them to send you a check. You get no checking account, and no electronic link to other accounts.
For other mileage offers for brokerage accounts, go to my site below, click on Free Frequent Flyer Miles in the left menu, then on Financial Offers in the top menu.
