ING Direct $25 Savings Account Bonus Referral Links Here!
I love my ING Direct savings account. The interface is really easy to use, and the subaccounts feature makes it incredibly simple to split my money into categories. During my recent car repair woes, I knew exactly what money was available for my repair vs in savings for my kids’ college funds since I have everything set up within separate subaccounts. And although the 4.1% APY interest rate is not the biggest out there, it is much better than the 0.50% I get at my local bank where I have my checking account.
ING Direct offers a $25 bonus to new customers opening one of their savings accounts with an initial deposit of $250 or more. Basically, it is an easy way to make $25 for your time. To get this $25 bonus, you need to use a referral from an exisiting customer. Luckily - I am one of those . 
I had used up all my referrals, but ING recently reset everyone’s referrals so I have more I can give away. I am going to post them a few at a time on my ING Direct $25 Referral page. If you use one of those links to open up an ING Direct Orange Savings Account, you can receive a $25 bonus deposited in your account, and I will receive a $10 bonus. The bonuses I receive go directly to one of my two kids’ college savings accounts (I switch back and forth between them.
So if you are interested in opening an ING Direct Savings account and have an inital deposit of $250 or more, make sure to use a referral! I will update the referrals as they are used.
Thanks and happy savings!

Thanks for the telling us about ING. I used one of your referrals and I have the same question as Jinger about setting up subaccounts. I have an emergency fund with USAA but the subaccount idea really sold me on ING, well that and an easy $25. I am using ING for a freedom account, saving in advance for known expenses where my emergency fund is for unknown expenses. I even sent you an email. So your post should be right on target and you can disregard my email. Thanks again.

Hi There! I am new to your blog and enjoy it. I opened my ING account about 3 weeks ago but I did not know about the referral bonus- I wonder if they’d give me one through you although my account has been open since mid Jan. If that does not work, I am planning on adding a sub account once my car is paid off at the end of March. I want to set that ammount aside (320.00 per month) to use when I have to purchase my next car. In the past, I would have simply let that ammount sit in my checking account to be used for whatever frivolous expense I wanted. Now that I am being so much more careful with my spending, I know (and this is the advice I read everywhere on this subject) that I must pretend that I still have that payment (to myself) and set it aside for my next car. Live and learn! Anyways, please let me know about the sub-account and getting the $25.00 bonus for me and the $10.00 for you. Thanks.

I am pretty sure you have to be a new customer to get the bonus. You can call their customer service though to find out - they are usually very helpful. Good luck!
