Black Friday Deals at ING Direct

I've talked about ING Direct before but I always wait until they are running a great promotion to remind you all about this online bank. By cutting their overhead costs of actual stores, ING Direct passes their savings onto the customer. While you can't just walk into the bank, you can feel safe knowing your money is still protected by the FDIC.

Current bankers at ING Direct can get a 1% cash back bonus on any purchase made on Black Friday using your debit card. Interestingly this is higher than the current interest rate so you'll make more money by spending your funds than saving them (crazy, right?).

If you don't already have an account, you can earn $125 when you open a new Orange checking account and make a total of 10 purchases (either signature or PIN-based) using your Electric Orange Card or CheckMate deposits (or any combination of the two) within 45 days.


Make sure you read all the fine print and details regarding these offers. While ING Direct is a great bank and I personally opened my account with a similar offer a few years ago, there are a few steps you need to take to make sure you get the promotional money. It's not as simple as opening the account and then withdrawing the cash. ING Direct was sold to CapitalOne. In February 2013, ING Direct will become CapitalOne360.
