TD Ameritrade – Cashback, Rebates & Rewards

Had multiple accounts with TD for years, love them for the most part. Their trading app Think or Swim works great! So no serious complaints other than the occasional glitch and unwillingness to lower options commissions. Overall very solid broker, I hope the integration with Schwab doesn't affect ToS!

Excellent customer service. Fast trading platform

I do not understand all the negative ratings. I have been with them for 15 years and l have had no real problems. Never been put on hold for more than a few minutes. Their web site is easy to use and has never been down. Never had a hold on any deposit. Because of my balance l can use private client services. This could be the reason why l get such good services however when l had a smaller balance and did not use private client services l still got excellent service

I've been a loyal client since 1998 when they were just plain Ameritrade. They have been a solid, dependable, no-frills, no-nonsense brokerage with outstanding customer service. The reps are always very helpful and courteous. Shortly after the acquisition by Schwab I started receiving unsolicited cold calls from their brokers. I made it clear that I'm a buy-and-hold man not interested in churning my account and they have left me alone ever since. I like that they don't bombard you with sales pitches for this and that. I've found that during market hours, cash balances on the web interface are slow to catch up, but Think or Swim updates immediately. If you need telephone support you'll get through much quicker if you call during off hours when the market is closed and the brokers aren't as busy. At TD Ameritrade you get free Gainskeeper, a real boon at tax time. I hope Schwab doesn't take it away. I understand that eventually we will get Schwab accounts and new account numbers. It remains to be seen if Schwab keeps the many benefits of TD Ameritrade in place or if things will change for the worse. Schwab has already made it clear that Think or Swim is "here to stay".

I've been an active client of TD Ameritrade (formerly Ameritrade) for over 25 years. I am experienced with many other institutions and trading platforms. They have the best customer service and I would recommend them to everyone. I wish they were also IRA custodians for non-traditional investments such as crowd funding or real estate investments, but they're not. Altoira is currently my custodian for that, and the customer service is extremely poor.
