From what I recall of the process (signed up with the offer from ages ago), it took a few days to get the account set up even after signing up (establishing the correct routing number, confirming the deposits, etc). The bonus doesn't show until those steps are accomplished. Curious as to how that occured in less than a day for you. Do not doubt that it did, just merely curious.
Also, wanted to add a caveat emptor concerning the possibility of the bonus disappearing during the hold period (they hold the bonus for 30 days, or did during the last promotion). Recall something along the lines of some of the Money 2004 bonus signees being asked for proof of purchase (a serial number, I believe) afterward that was not asked during the initial information period. Failure to provide any documentation lead to the $50 bonus being removed. Not stating this would happen, but had heard it certainly could.
Regardless, good luck with your new ING account. So very sad that our economy is such that 2.x% APR is a good investment.
