Customer support phone hold/wait times have come up in the integration weekend mega-thread. I figured I'd break it out to its own topic and also share my own experience.

Today I waited on hold for 30 minutes before deciding to choose the call back option. They then called me back 50 minutes later, for a total wait time of 80 minutes. Once I got the call back, Bonnie was super nice and helpful.

I was #7 in line with an expected wait of 17 minutes. Immediately chose call back option. I didn't track the time but I didn't finish my cup of coffee by the time Bonnie called me back. Confirmation of ID and her checking a transaction was being processed took only a couple of minutes tops.

So it only took her less than the time of One Cup Of Coffee to call you back !

That's pretty good service, I would say. sf-smile

Called shortly after 9 CDT. Second in line, expected wait time of 15 minutes. Elected to hold versus use the "call back". Didn't even have time for that gawd awful music to start before I was picked up. Redeemed a 1-year quarterly term and put instructions in for a new 1-year quarterly term as well as a 2-year term. Total time for call including the 5-6 question verification process was under five minutes.

Sounds like we might be back to kinda normal, wait-time wise...

I had a quarterly interest credit on Nov 6. Interest appeared early Nov 7. I called at 10AM MB time on Nov 7 (2 minute hold!!!!) with instructions to cash out. Sent to back office with promise to process by end of day. It was done by 5PM MB time.

Just checked (6:15 pm CST) and the redemption/new GIC are posted. I don't wait for the interest to show up online the following day. I was told shortly after the merge that the quarterly interest is there, I just can't see it yet and it will all be posted eventually. I'm not going to miss a day of interest if I can help it. Not that I really care about losing a day, but it is entertaining to play the game. sf-cool

OK guys, can we just stop with this 'waiting time' nonsense, please?

Some will wait few minutes some longer. Who cares?! You ARE going to wait no MATTER what if you want service from Hubert.

I wish there was an option to ignore certain topics as they are useless and just silly...

Jeeepers, Pooreva!!!

Are you a director here?!?!?!?!!?

Look who started the thread and why.

My entry totally complies.

Perhaps you should unsubscribe.

My call was with Bonnie as well.

Who cares?? Now that is a no brainer.

I press # to be called back and wait for 1-2 hours. They assume that all of us carry cellphones/have good signal 100% of the time/sit by the regular phone all that time. And if they call while I am in the can then I lose my spot in line and have to call again and wait for another couple of hours. Now, I am almost out of Hubert/Access and not regretting it at all. Chiao, Einsteins!

POSSIBLE TMI WARNING:

I have a bathroom extension phone; I have its curly-cord tied to a drawer under the sink so that it can't reach the toilet or bathtub. sf-laugh

I'd never wait on the line or let anyone call me back on my mobile. Too damn expensive since I have a flat-rate $19 wired-phone.

Yep. Bluetooth ear piece in ear, cellphone in pocket and carry on with life until the CSR picks up ...

Called at 9:12 CST. Call picked up by CSR in 34 seconds. Identified, redeemed quarterly GIC, purchased new quarterly GIC. Call disconnected at 9:14.

Was advised that the order has been submitted and the new product will be posted sometime tomorrow.

Not telephone but still response time and quality of service related.

Sent an email (7:13 AM) to the Hubert address about a very slight discrepancy (joint account issue) asking if it could be fixed via email or if I had to call in to get it resolved? Supplied the GIC account number along with my name and spouse's name.

Received email reply from Brylle Virtual Service Representative (9:03 AM) saying it was corrected and if it did not appear properly to "let us know".

The issue was resolved.sf-smile
