Yea I was trying hard to get an IRA CD moved over to them,went through the process of joining Pelican and so did my wife, told them my intentions of what I wanted to do and was very proactive to get it there ASAP; a lot of time and effort involved sitting in phone ques, funding the account etc etc and now this....sent them an email....probably will have to move on.... time and membership fees down the drain...it seems to me that somewhere these crazy institutions could offer a window of time to the customer...something not extravagant, maybe something like 72 hours etc. right now its almost like a bait and switch tactic, you apply, they know your other institution will drag their heels for two days, during this time, they flip the rates and your new CD statement would arrive a full 1/2 half of a percent down....SURPRISE!
The more I think about it, the more it seems this strategy was planned all along.
