1. go to ing direct website online to sign up for a free bank account

2. write a cheque for $100 and send to ing for deposit

3. wait a couple days and voila! you are $50 dollars richer! :woot2:

(this offer ends dec 31 2012)

FREE MONEY FOR EVERYONE! :h5:

MERRY XMAS

*No referral links. You've been warned.

no referral links? ok no prob
but why did you delete the useful info at the bottom too?
that would have been helpful for others

This sounds a little to good to be true... anyone confirm?

It's legit. Had ING for a few years now. It's $25 referral for 11 months a year...and when it's Xmas season, they bump it to $50. It's been like that for the past few years.

If you switch your payroll over, you get an extra $100 as well. Don't know if they still have that offer though.

It's $100 Apple gift card...but yes it ended already. But they happen at least 2-3 times a year...

ING DIRECT Canada: Apple Giveaway

they're legit - last time they did the crazy referral plan to raise capital and get bought out, and it worked. Now they're probably up to smoething again :suspicious: regardless it's legit

Can you just EMT the funds from the ING Investment Savings Account to your other banking institution when the $50 has been credited to your account?

yup

The $100 apple gift card offer ends on December 31 but I guess it's effectively over unless your HR department can get your direct deposit info switched over in time before the month ends.

I have to say I signed up for ING not too long ago and have been VERY impressed so far. Unlimited bill payments/debits, free e-mail money transfer, can link multiple bank accounts, free first 50 cheques not that I even use them much but it's still nice to have, access to a lot of ATMs (exchange network), nice mobile app, and the interest rate for the Savings account beats my RBC's. It has become my main bank of choice with RBC as a backup.

i guess this is a pyramid scheme but its good

Gotta love ING direct and their holiday specials.

As soon as you sign up you can deposit money
The first time you need to mail a cheque for $100 to them
This way they can link that chequing account to your ING account
After this everything can be done online or through bank machines
(this all takes about 3 business days to complete and you can transfer the $150 out right after or keep it in there for their regular 1.3% or tfsa 1.4% interest rates)
Keep in mind ING Canada Banking Division got bought out by ScotiaBank
Which is a huge plus for customers as it gives us the brick and mortar establishments and access to its atm network here in Canada

you receive your orange key right after signing up

it's on redflagdeals so u know it's legit

When I signed up last year, they had the $100 offer.. :fullofwin:

so who's the lucky rs'er who i will use as a referral? :)

Call 1-800-464-3473 and speak to a representative !

first person to PM me gets to use me for their referral!

We have a pending winner! Should rizo give me his acct # in time before I sign up.

Ive been using ING for a few years now. Pretty decent interest rates on the TFSA but it used to be a lot better in the past.

shouldnt this go in the Official Freebies thread?

Anyone but OP right? :troll:

It should....but OP wanted referral $$$ and decided to start a thread dedicated to it....

This is legit.
1) it's ING Direct, they're a huge company
2) I've done this before

You need an orange key to sign up to get the $50 bonus. So don't just sign up and expect to get the promo.
It's super easy to do, If you want an orange key pm me.

ps. once you send them a $100 cheque that chequing account is automatically linked to your ING account so you can transfer money between your ING account and that chequing account seamlessly.
