Since it says “only one bonus per household,” are you sure that new sign-ups can get both of those promotions above (totaling $126)? Thanks.
The $50 and $76 offers are being promoted together as one $126 offer so you will get them both (it’s on ING’s website if you want to check it out). Hope that helps!
There’s a typo in your title
You may want to hold off- there’s talk of a merger with Citigroup. I have an Ing Direct account but will close it if that happens.
They’ve been bought by Capital One, is what I’ve heard. I have loved ING for nearly 5 years, and am disgusted by this news.
ING was just bought by CapitalOne. We’ll see what happens to ING. Hopefully they will stay the same, but most likely it will change drastically. Just wanted to let people know. We have ING and love it, but am anticipating bad changes now that they’ve been bought out.
I have no idea about buyout mean. Can someone explain it to me? will buyout effect our deposits? thanks
No. Your money is insured by the FDIC. It just means that the bank will essentially be under new management. Maybe the service won’t be as good or maybe the interest rate will go down. Just have to wait and see, I guess
I called ING to see how I can get a referral link and they said the only way to get credit for referrals was to enter each e-mail in separately and send them out from your account. If this link is working for you will you tell me where you got the link? I called twice and got the same answer from them.
I think this bonus is only for new accounts. One bonus per household. Since I got the bonus last year i don’t think I qualify.
As to the merger, my interest rate already went down in my savings account to .99%. that is what my bank had. i will be switching back.
The savings account rate change to .99% was back in Febuary, not as a result of the merger.
I’m not making any changes until I see a downturn in their customer service. They would be very unwise to make drastic changes immediately when they are known for being a good bank.
