Earned my readers $250. Here’s more ING Direct referrals

January 21, 2008

I used up the first 10 ING Referrals I posted in just a few days, which is much faster than I expected, so here’s what I’ll do. I’ll post the last 15 referrals for ING Orange Savings accounts and then I’ll have a separate post to request for YOUR referrals when mine are gone. However, don’t send them to me before I ask for them or else I’ll just delete your email/comment.

Your bonus for opening an account is $25 (and $10 for me) with a minimum opening deposit of $250. That’s an instant 10% return on your money and you can pull your original $250 out immediately. You have to wait 30 days to pull the $25 referral money.

To receive the $25 bonus by using a link, you must be a new ING customer and you must open the account with at least $250. That means you can’t already have an ING Orange Savings or Electric Orange Checking account.

The Referrals

I’VE MOVED ALL OF THE REFERRALS TO A STATIC ING DIRECT REFERRALS PAGE HERE.

    Are you sure they didn’t give you 50 referrals? When mine got reset I got 50 new ones not 25 like last time. 🙂

    Nope, I only have 25 right now. Perhaps they’ll reset when all of these get fulfilled (hopefully!).

    I just checked my ING account and I got 50 referrals as well. Thanks for letting me know they reset the referrals. I used up my original 25 over a year ago.
