I had signed up for the special 2.25% for one year When I received a statement they gave me 2.00%. I called and got really after them. they said they would correct it. They dont know what they are doing. Get a name and extension number from a person and call only her. Metlife did the same to me. I had signed up for the special 2.25% for one year

First their website repeatedly crashed, then their site insisted that we call them to complete the application. We would call, wait to talk to a representative who would transfer us to another phone queue, where we would eventually be disconnected. We finally spoke with a representative who stated that we needed to fax them a copy of our apartment lease, after which she would call us to let us know their decision. Although we faxed them the lease, we never heard back. When we called a week later, we were told that the account had been opened but whoever set up the account did not set up the ACH transfer. When my partner asked when, or if, they would do the ACH transfer they did not know, stating there was nothing in the computer. We finally told them never mind. About a week later, we received a letter listing the rate as 2.00%. They apparently failed to enable the "special" rate. Opening a CD with Metlife proved impossible.
