Finally got through to deposit funds - any tips for others still struggling?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share that I finally got through to deposit some funds. It's been a real hassle trying to reach someone, but I managed to do it today. Has anyone else had any luck recently? Any tips for others who are still struggling to get in touch?

Congrats on getting through! I've been trying for days with no luck. How long did you have to wait on hold?

Thanks! I actually didn't have to wait on hold at all. I used this site called claimyr.com that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Wait, you paid money to make a phone call? That sounds sketchy af šŸ¤”

I know it sounds weird, but it actually worked. I was skeptical too, but after spending days trying to get through, it was worth it for me. They don't ask for any personal info, just your phone number to forward the call.

I've heard of services like this before. Seems legit if it works. Might give it a try myself if I can't get through tomorrow.

Ugh, I'm still stuck in the endless hold loop. Been trying for a week straight. What time of day did you call?

Pro tip: Try calling right when they open. I got through last week by dialing at 7:59 AM and got an agent within 10 minutes.

This! Early morning is def the way to go. Also, Tuesdays and Wednesdays seem to be less busy in my experience.

I've tried this and still no luck. It's like playing the lottery at this point 😫

Congrats on getting through! For those still struggling, here's what worked for me: • Call early in the morning, preferably right when they open • Use the phone menu options that are most likely to get you to a real person (usually account-specific issues) • If you get put on hold, stay on the line no matter what • Try different days of the week - some are less busy than others • Be persistent and keep trying if you don't get through It's frustrating, but don't give up. Also, make sure you have all your account info ready when you do get through. Good luck everyone!

This is solid advice. Took me 3 days of trying, but I finally got through using these tips. Patience is key!

Great tips! I'd add: have a phone charger ready. My battery died after 2 hours on hold once šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops just to deposit money? The system is broken af 🤔

Preach! šŸ™Œ It's a joke. They make it so hard to do something that should be simple.

For real. I spent more time trying to reach them than I did earning the money I'm trying to deposit smh

Has anyone tried reaching out through social media? I've heard some people have had luck getting responses that way.

I tried tweeting at them but got crickets. Maybe I'm just not important enough šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Facebook messaging worked for me! Got a response within a day. Worth a shot if you're still stuck.

Yo, anyone else notice that their website is down like half the time? How are we supposed to manage our accounts if we can't even log in? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
