Here is an offer that I think many of you will enjoy! Right now ING is offering a FREE $50 just by opening up an account with them. There are a couple of cavaets, but just think about how far $50 will go at Publix? 😉
Go HERE and click on the Apply Now button for an ING Electric Orange Check Account. There are no monthly fees, no monthly minimums, and surcharge free overdraft protection!
Once you’ve opened the account, you will need to make at least three purchases (or Person2Person Payments or a combo of the two) within 45 days of opening the account. The great thing is that you can literally put $5 in the account and make three very small purchases, and you’ll qualify for the $50!
Assuming you following the above stipulations, then on day 50 you will get $50 desposited into your account!
This seems like an excellent opportunity for three types of people:
- Those who see FREE $50 as a no-brainer no matter what!
- Those who need to open up an account anyhow.
- Those who are dissatisfied with their current bank and see this as a sign to switch!
For the record, I actually have my Life Insurance with ING, and have been very pleased with their customer service and level of professionalism. Please leave a comment with your thoughts if you’ve taken advantage of this in the past.
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Something doesn’t feel right about opening an account, knowing that I’m going to turn around and close the account right after I get the $50. Does anyone else feel that way?
Jennifer – I definitely understand what you’re saying. For me it’s an account to use for “specific” purposes (like online purchases, couponing purchases, etc), so I think it’s better to just keep it open since the minimum requirements are so minimal. Thank you for the input!
