Earn $76 When You Open an ING Direct Checking Account

Earlier this week, I told you that ING Direct would be offering a deal for Independence Day. The promotion has been announced and you can earn $76 when you open a new checking account.  To get this deal, you must open your new account by midnight on July 2, 2010.

The deal requires you to make at least seven purchases (swipes) using your debit card within the first 45 days of the account.  You can buy something inexpensive or just use the card for your groceries.  The money will be deposited into your account approximately 50 days after you open the account.

ING Direct is FDIC insured, there is no minimum balance required, and all accounts earn interest.  You get a debit/mastercard to use for your everyday purchases and you can find free ATMs in most states.  You can't write checks from the account but you can send checks using their online payment system, which also means they pay for the stamp.

If you are interested in an ING Direct account, I would be happy to send you a referral email.  When you are referred by a current member, you will get an extra $25 bonus for signing up.  That means that you, as a new member, would earn $101 for opening a new account.  Unfortunately the links are customized in the email so I cannot just post a link here for you to get that bonus.  Just drop me a message at Cori@makingcentsofit.com.
