Hey, any Canadian ING Direct users out there?

[dendritejungle]

I'm about to open an account with them, and I'm pretty sure they have one of those incentive programs where people recommending them get a kickback? I'm opening an account anyway, but if anyone has one of those numbers I'm happy to make someone some free money. Just let me know the code you'd like me to enter. First come first serve!

(Longer post later in the week, I promise! In the meantime, happy new year everyone! :D)

$13 dollars to the new person, $13 to the one who "refered" them

Apply this to shing.

Shing needs to call ING (1.888.4643232), and they will give hir an orange key code. You and the other person put that in and you both get a $13 bonus.

I know because i was trying to add Bear to my account, and would have been able to (and each get the bonus) except that he has no status in Canada ::growl::.

I've had an account with them for a number of years and totally appreciate their interest rate. You do need to keep in mind the freeze periods (how long it takes money to transfer in and out), but once you have the hang of that they are totally great.

Enjoy,

freeze periods? I've had an account with them for a few years now and I don't think it's ever taken them more than one business day to transfer my money.

When you transfer money into your ING account, it looks like it appears right away (and they credit your interest as if it arrives right away), however, those funds are on hold for five days, meaning that you can't move the same money out again, until those five days have passed. In order to take advantage of their interest rates i would sometimes move money in for a short period of time and then move it out to pay bills or something. There were a couple of times early on where i got caught and had not given enough time for the money to be transferred in, clear, and then be moved out again.
