Date of Complaint: November 27, 2018

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: TX

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-Product: Checking account

Issue: Opening an account
Sub-Issue: Unable to open an account

Full Complaint:
On XX/XX/18, while on the banking website, saw an offer to switch the checking account to a Cashback Rewards Checking account. Followed the steps to do so and received the following error : We are unable to complete your request. The system is currently unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later.
I called USAA and they opened a web support ticket to inquire why I was unable to process the request when the banking agents confirmed there were no issues they could see that was creating the hassle.
I followed up with agents on XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, and was consistently informed web support was still working on the issue, keeping me on hold while the agents tried to find out more information, calls being disconnected after extensive holds. I did receive a voice mail on XX/XX/XXXX from a XXXX in web support asking me to call back USAA. When I did on XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX, and after the extensive hold and the call disconnected, I had not followed up since, waiting for another voice mail update.
I called today, XX/XX/XXXX, having received no further voice mails and still receiving the same error message on the banking website. I was informed by XXXX, in web support, that the ticket had been closed XX/XX/18 and he would need to open a new one.
I’ve been told the banking agents themselves are unable to process the request to change to the Rewards account, that only clients can initiate and complete the request/transfer.
