Wayne,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. FWIW, I also applied and started using the card in late December. I received my first rebate deposited to my brokerage account early this month. Hopefully they’re able to sort out the problem with your account soon.

I’ve had the Schwab 2% rebate card since December 2008. They have yet to issue a rebate. Each call to customer service begets a different story, the rep essentially guessing as to when it might be credited and trying hard to attach some plausible explanation to his/her speculation. I’ve now spoken with Nick Miller in the Cleveland office [2009-02-11], Diane Hilton in Denver [2009-02-17] and submitted an inquiry online that didn’t even beget an automated acknowledgement of receipt.

Bill,

Wow, thanks for letting us know. That’s not something I would have expected.

For your information, I signed up for a Charles Schwab card in order to get the 2% rebate and just got my first statement online today. You might want to warn your readers that the 2% does not apply to contributions made to charities. I gave $300 to 3 different charities [Red Cross, CARE, Americares], and none of this money counted toward the 2% rebate. I called customer service and was told that the rebate is given only on retail purchases, so the charities did not count.

I’ve used a variety of cash rebate credit cards to make contributions to charities, and this is the first time that the contributions did not count towards the cash rebate.
