    Default Etrade credit card review?

    Does anyone here have the Etrade credit card? I am also thinking about this one but there are some bad things I've heard about Etrade so I am also skeptical of this one too.

    The main reason I want it is the rewards. I have a brokerage account with them and if they offer any good credit card deals for account holders like free trades that would be great.

    But most important of all what are the interest rates on this card? I remember reading somewhere I think that it was either Etrade or some other broker that had a card with super low interest rates. I'm pretty sure it's this one but I may be mistaken. Can anyone confirm this for me?

    Um I don't know but I do know that Etrade totally blows as a broker. I used them in high school and they were garbage and I had all kinds of problems with them.

    I have etrade as a broker now and have been with them for 12+ years. They used to be very good but have gone way downhill so I will likely be switching soon. You will get MUCH better service from them if you have a decent amount of money with them. If you have less than $50k they will not be very interested.

    I use Ameritrade but now that I have virtually no money in the account, I am not actively using it anymore. This happened because for the first time, I went against my gut instinct and bought on a friend's repeated recommendation, only to get burned bigtime.

    But anyway, Ameritrade did have good customer service for the most part. I would usually speak to someone on the phone with a very short wait.
    Disclosure: I am a moderator/paid staff of this site, which does have advertising relationships with some credit cards that are discussed. Regardless, anything I say is my honest opinion.

    Current Cards:     American Express: Blue Cash, Simply Cash Bank of America: WorldPoints Platinum Plus Chase: Amazon, British Airways, Cash Plus Rewards, Freedom, Ink Cash Citi: Thank You Premier, Dividend Platinum Select Discover: More
    Primary Everyday Card: American Express Blue Cash
    Primary Travel Card: Citi Thank You Premier
