Opening bank accounts has always been one of the easiest ways to score some extra cash, and our friends at ING Direct are offering four different accounts to choose from to earn bonuses of up to $50. Disclosure: these are referral links for which I will earn $10 for each successful referral.
ING Electric Orange Bonus – $50
Electric Orange is ING’s checking account offering geared towards users that do most of their banking online. The account comes with no monthly maintenance fee, free access to 35,000 ATMs in the Allpoint network, and free bill pay service. Deposits also earn interest, with APY ranging from 0.20% to 0.90% depending on account balance (as of 2/21/2012). ING has also recently added the capability to write paper checks on the account, a previous weak point in their otherwise strong service offering.
Use one of the links below to sign up and earn a $50 bonus. Please see the fine print below for requirements.
Bonuses are only paid for accounts that are opened and a total of 3 Card purchases or Person2Person Payments (or any combo of the two) are made within 45 days of account opening. The $50 bonus is available only for new accounts with a new Customer as primary owner. Only one bonus will be provided per household. Your $50 bonus will automatically be deposited into your account on day 50.

The easy-to-use online savings account so many others tried to emulate over the years, the ING Orange Savings Account is perfect for socking away extra cash. The account has no fees and no minimum balance requirements, and sports an APY of 0.80%.
