I agree with you 100%. I am a HEAVY trader with Etrade, over 5000 trades a year, also have a large account and been with them for 3 years, since PRE-IPO days. I have gotten ONE IPO in my platinum account so far this year, and that was CTRA. IPOs are a BENEFIT of being a customer, not a reason to open an account, and E-Trade should take that into account more. I feel they should have a Platinum PLUS account status for maybe 500 trades a quarter, and also place people with $100k+ in their account higher on the pole. Finally, those who have been with Etrade longest should get priority.

Im not trying to be greedy here, I just feel that IPOs are a BENEFIT of having an account. Etrade should reward those that give them the most business as a perk to continue trading. People here bitch and moan about not getting IPOs in their new account with $2000 and zero trades. STOP CRYING. You only opened the account to get IPOs, and you dont deserve ANY. Its like working for a new company, you dont ge all the benefits until you put in the time and pay your dues...
