A Better ING Direct Deal

by Flexo on January 6, 2005

in Consumer, Saving

I didn’t realize this deal at ING Direct was still active. I was looking through my archives and I found my post from September 9, 2003. In that post, I included a link to a better ING Direct offer than the one you find all over the internet (especially blogs) where the originator gets $10 and the new account owner gets $25.

If you open your account using this link, I won’t make any money as your referrer, but you will get $50 instead of $25. Just click on this link to ING Direct’s $50 offer and click “Continue” at the bottom of the page.

I’m incredibly happy with ING Direct for my savings account and I would recommend them to anyone.

I like ING Direct too, but if you are itching for a higher interest rate, check out the 3% APY at Emigrant Direct.

More info at my recent blog entry.

I noticed that. It’ll be interesting to see if ING Direct matches that rate. I’m not going to move my money right away, but I’ll keep my eyes on it.

I resent it. Check in your gmail junk mail folder if you still can’t find it.
