ING cut their program...

[manlymatt83]

ING now requires $250 deposit for referral bonus and $25 bonus to sign up. That sucks. Old outstanding referrals are grandfathered.

u need to get rid of the black guy avatar. only I can have it.

 

[manlymatt83]

OK... I did. What does that have to do with ING?

 

[bleuiko]

nothing, and no.. you didn't have to get rid of the avatar.. he's just being dumb.

thanks for the info with ING Direct... I guess they're trying to cut back on cost to raise their rates again.

LOL That is hilarious.

Ok, I wanna open one of these high yielding savings accounts. Who should I do it with? Doesn Emigrant have a referral program too? Are they as trusted as ING seems to be? I've only started hearing about them recently...

 

[bleeb]

I don't know how much I invested... I think like one dollar and I got 25 bones at 3 percent interest.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Stupiest commercials ever.

 

[edro]

There were probably too many scams and stuff.

That sucks.

Aztech: Apparently links created BEFORE the new policy are grandfathered.... here's a link if you decide to go with ING. Its actually one of my last two remaining links I created before the switch over. I believe it will still give you the $25 with a minimum deposit of $1 since its a grandfathered link.

As for what company to go with, ING Direct and Emigrant are both as good, for their own reasons. I love ING because I have everything with them, including investment, and I like their security. Also, they are and have been a bank for some time now, and they are stable. I don't trust a company I've never heard of, but I know some of my friends who went with Emigrant and are somewhat satisfied. One of my friends had a bad experience with emigrant when they lost a check he mailed in and it was a big hassle, but I can assume that happens anywhere. Just my .02

HTH,

Matt

Oh noes, $250!

If people were abusing it they probably had to.

 

[manlymatt83]

Probably. $250 isn't a big deal. I think it would have been better to say "Once your account balance reaches $250, we will deposit the $25 bonus". Gives people the time to build up to it.

Emigrant-Direct FTW

Another reason to close my ING Direct account:thumbsup:

 

[manlymatt83]

Do you like emigrant direct? I know its .06% interest higher, but they dont offer many options...

 

[AccruedExpenditure]

In two/three years, when the fed lowers rates to spur the recession/housing bubble bust, you guys will all be complaining about how ING is lowering their interest rates.

bwahhaha.

 

[manlymatt83]

Thats why I want to invest in a mutual fund with ING .... not sure which one is best though ... International Growth? Global Science & Tech?
