ING Direct Savings, Checking and Investing Bonuses

ING Direct wants you to declare your financial independence from bad checking accounts, mortgage fees, and expensive online brokers. They have a very clever Independence Day Sale going on from Friday, July 1st to Saturday, July 2nd. If you’re in the market for a new checking account, mortgage, or online broker, or if you’re a current customer, then you will be able to take advantage of this offer. Here’s what they have going on. It’s all about 1776!

Electric Orange Checking – When you open up a new Electric Orange Checking account, you will get a $50 bonus. To get the bonus, you will have to show that you are an actual customer. There is a requirement to make 3 purchases within 45 days. The $50 bonus will automatically be deposited on August 21st.

Then, an additional $76 can be earned by adding direct deposit to your new ING Direct Electric Orange Checking Account and having two direct deposits post by August 31st. This $76 bonus will automatically be credited on September 8th. In total, that’s a $126 bonus for using ING Direct Electric Orange Checking.

Orange Mortgages – Apply for a mortgage from ING Direct and receive up to $1776 off closing costs if approved. If closing costs are less than this amount, then you pay nothing but do not receive a credit for the difference. The mortgage must be funded no later than September 30th, 2011.

ShareBuilder – New ShareBuilder accounts receive a $76 bonus after you make your first transaction. ShareBuilder offers automatic investing at $4 per trade and continues to be one of the best available online discount brokers. Linking your ING Direct savings account to your brokerage account is a nice added convenience.

Referral Bonus – On top of all the above, existing customers can refer other customers for a bonus of $76. Once two friends sign up using your referral email and open a savings account with a minimum of $250, you’ll receive automatic $10 bonuses for each. The remaining $56 will be automatically deposited August 10th 2011.

Be sure to take advantage of these deals before Saturday, July 2 at 11:59 PM. This offer is good only for two days, so act fast!
