Some magic trick to get through? I've been trying all day and no luck

Yup. Keep at it if it says “try again later”. No more than 6 times then it would go on hold and I just made sure my screen was on, and a little bit of luck and I was good. Believe it or not when I tried finally at 1:20pm ET, it took all of 7 minutes to get through to the transfers section!

Wow, you got lucky, I tried calling back multiple times and got put on hold ranging from 3 minutes to over 25 minutes but all times got disconnected. Hopefully, a call at 9 am should do the trick. Or at least start off the day badly being annoyed with it
