New ING Bonus Links Posted!

May 5th, 2008

I have posted new bonus referral links for the ING Orange Savings and ING Electric Orange Checking accounts on my ING Bonus Links page. This month’s links are brought to you by my adorable 6 month son, who we are calling “Mighty Mega Man”.

Mega Man

Here’s the deal: If you open an ING Orange Savings or ING Electric Orange Checking account using one of the referral links with an opening deposit of at least $250, you will earn a bonus of $25 credited to your account. That’s an instant 10% return! At the same time, my son’s account will be credited with a referral bonus of $10.

ING Direct Electric Orange Checking Account Referral Links ($25 Bonus)

January 5th, 2008

Last night I posted referral links for the ING Direct Orange Savings Account, and tonight I am posting referral links for the ING Direct Electric Orange Checking Account. Electric Orange is ING’s paperless checking product which pays a very competitive interest rate of 3.15% APY for balances up to $50,000, 4.65% APY for balances between $50,000 and $100,000, and 4.80% APY for balances over $100,000. On the account there are no minimum balances and no fees, however the biggest drawback is that it is a paperless account. That means that you don’t have a regular checkbook to write checks, although for a lot of people that is no big deal.

By using the following one-time use referral links you will earn a bonus of $25, and I will earn a bonus of $10. The main requirements are:

  • Your initial deposit must be at least $250.
  • You must be a new ING customer. If you already have an ING account (including the Orange Savings), you won’t qualify for the bonus.
  • These links are one-time use. If you see a message saying that the link is expired or invalid, that means the link has already been used. Please try another link.

Here are the links. Please post in the comments if you use one of these:

    1. ING Direct Electric Orange Referral
    2. ING Direct Electric Orange Referral
    3. ING Direct Electric Orange Referral
    4. ING Direct Electric Orange Referral
    5. ING Direct Electric Orange Referral
    6. ING Direct Electric Orange Referral
    7. ING Direct Electric Orange Referral
    8. ING Direct Electric Orange Referral

      My babies got cash for Christmas – what to do?

      December 25th, 2007

      We are parents of 7 week old twins. Although they aren’t old enough to even think about shopping, they had family members who gave them money for Christmas. Since they can’t spend it for themselves, it leaves us as parents with the dilemma of what to do with the money. Since they aren’t old enough for toys just yet, and the grandparents seem to be doing a pretty good job of spoiling them already, it seems like the appropriate thing is to somehow save it for them. The big question for us is how to save the money. Here are some options that we are considering:

      • Open an ING Direct account – As current ING Direct customers, we could refer our kids as new account holders and they would earn a $25 bonus and we would get $10. The only catch would be that the minimum to earn the bonus is $250, and they didn’t get that much, meaning we would need to put up the extra money for them.
      • Open a WTDirect Savings Account – WTDirect offers a higher interest rate than ING Direct (4.90% APY as of 12/25/2007), and as an affiliate I could earn a $50 commission for each account, which I would add back to their accounts. I have never actually dealt with them before, making me a bit more uncertain about this one. However, it could offer an opportunity to review the account in future blog postings.
      • Open a Zecco trading account – Similar reasoning to the WTDirect Savings option. As an affiliate I could get a $35 commission on each account. I could deposit the money and purchase an index fund ETF and hold until they get older. Again, I’ve never actually done anything with them before, so it would be a chance to try out the service and provide a review here later on.
      • Open a 529 plan for each of them – I plan to do this anyway, although I still need to do some more research on which plan is best. I would add their gift money to what we were going to contribute anyway.

      Anyone have any better ideas? We aren’t talking about a large sum, so nothing crazy please! =)

      ING Direct Orange Savings $25 Bonus Codes

      November 29th, 2007

      For anyone out there who doesn’t already have an ING Direct Orange Savings account, here is a quick way to make $25. If you are a new customer and open an ING Direct Orange Savings with $250 using one of the codes below, ING Direct will pay you a bonus of $25 (in interest of full disclosure, I also get $10 for referring you). That’s a quick 10% return on your money! You can use either of the reference codes below:

      CH924/HFHUAVDFD

      CH924/GNGXAWGZ

      To open an account, go to ingdirect.com/houston or call 1-800-ING-DIRECT. These codes expire tomorrow (11/30/2007), so you need to do this in the next couple of days to get the bonus using these codes. After tomorrow, you can always request a referral link by emailing me.

Codes can be found on the flap of 12, 24, and 32 pack boxes, as well as under the cap of 20 oz., 1L, and 2L bottles. Click here to send me your My Coke Rewards codes.
