Free $25 From ING Direct for Opening Acct

[jusfonzin]

Hey all-

If you open an account with ING Direct, they'll give you $25. There's no minimum balance, and their interest rates are higher than any local bank.

Also, once you have an account, they'll give you $10 for every person that you refer up to $250.

INGDirect - Promotion (http://home.ingdirect.com/promo/promo_set.asp?t=%a1%92%b7%b2%bd%b0%b6%b9%b0%b2%b8%b4%)


This kind of reminds me of the X.com stuff from a few years ago, except ING isn't some crappy internet bank that will go out of business.

go through this link for a $50 bonus for opening an account
https://banking.ingdirect.com/savings/express_savings.asp?coupon=98745-9874-98765-9876&function=ttx2003

there's no affiliate/refferal info in that link afaik

I got on this deal about three years ago, and ING is my primary savings bank.

The best part is the rate is 2.5%

Most savings accounts are about 1%-lower than the CPI (inflation) so your money actually LOSES value in other savings accounts.

Finally, ING is FDIC insured, and a premiere loan institution as well.

thanks passwird

justed signed up :)

Do you guys think I can get the $50 sign up bonus if I already have an account? I didn't know about that when I opened it.

[shaggymatt]

I got in on the $50 deal last year as well. It is still free cash, but be aware that ING reports it to the IRS as interest income. So you will get a 1099-INT form from them at the end of the year and be taxed on it. Granted it is a moot point considering you are getting $50 out of the deal, it did have a minimal effect on my return when I added in their info.

actually, it's this link that's not working, ignore my above post....

[ray]

I've been an ING member for nearly 1.5 years now. I've been very happy with everything and couldn't ask for anything more...except higher interest rates in this S&&%#*$ economy.

[aggieSlaughter]

It's working now...thx

[skynet]

PM me if you are interested in getting $25 for opening a new account.

[aggieSlaughter]

If I could only remember my checking routing number....DOH

[Mungo]

I got in on this last year also. This is a great deal, especially in this piss ass poor economy.

ING ranks #5 in Fortune magazine
ING has once again made Fortune magazine's list of "World's Most Admired Companies", climbing from #7 last year. ING has jumped to a top-five position in the category global life and health insurers in Fortune's latest survey on company reputation, making it the leading non-US company in its peer group.
This acknowledgement is all the more impressive given that it is based on the opinions of the toughest of judges: a company's own competitors. Respondents ranked their industry peers on a scale of one to ten, in nine categories: quality of management; quality of products and services; innovation; long-term investment value; financial soundness; ability to attract, develop and retain talent; responsibility to the community and the environment; wise use of corporate assets; and global business acumen. A company's overall ranking is based on the average of the scores in all nine categories.

I just signed up for this!

When will I see the $50 in my account though?

Thanks!

[chadlnc]

I signed up on Friday and the $50 showed up yesterday. Thanks Passwird.

[UTmo]

i think that you cant withdraw the 50$ until after a certain period of time.

[aggieSlaughter]

Ok, I'm finally registered.

:)

[Pinkgirl36]

before you all call asking....

the bonus will take 2-3 business days to show in the account...
transfers take 2-3 business days....
when you deposit $ in to the acct there is a 5 BUSINESS DAY HOLD on the funds!

[Bires]

FYI:
ING will send you a tax form (1098 I think) and the bonus will appear as taxable income.

[aznaphrodite]

Yea! I got my $50 today! :D

Awesome deal, guys!

By the way, skynet, you are screwing people over by referring them. They could earn $50 by signing up through the link passwird posted but when you refer them, they only get $25. All so you can earn $10.

[GilbertsGrape]

I don't think it's considered a gift. It's more like a bonus and you do have to report bonuses. When I was recruited my senior year of college, I lost half of my signing bonus to Uncle Sam. :(

[parrothead6618]

Hey all,

I was wondering how much the fee's were from tranfering money from the 2 different banks? Has anyone encountered any fee for tranfering money?

[nhbilly]

WAMU doesn't charge me............

[aggieSlaughter]

I know wells fargo doesn't charge. Like Pinkgirl36 said, most banks dont' charge at all for electronic transfers. Just contact your bank.

[parrothead6618]

Thank you all, I called the bank and they said there would be no charge!!! :D

[aggieSlaughter]

I keep trying to refer people to this in my dorm, but they all think I'm scamming. When I tell them all they have to do is put 50 cents(yes, that's the minimum they'll accept for opening an account) in an account and in 1 month, they get 25.50 out(I'm sending them the link from my account, so they only get the 25, haha, suckers.

P.S. does anyone know how to get the $50 link that counts as a referral??

bling, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Peace out

[parrothead6618]

well after doing a lot of reading, I felt it was definatly worth trying, Thanks guys!!! I signed up!!!!

[GilbertsGrape]

i wonder if it is worth signing after the income tax that will be charged, i wonder how much the return on an account started for a dollar and left in for 30 days
