Thanks, Tricia! / Electric Orange Referral Links
| I want to take a moment to give a shout out and big thanks to Tricia over at Blogging Away Debt for hosting my ING Direct referral links. She contacted me a while back after I used one of her referral links to open my own account, and offered to post my links on her popular site, three at a time in rotation with those of her other referees. Since then, all 25 of my referral links have been used--that's a $250 dent in my consumer debt, all thanks to Tricia and her readers. Thanks a bunch, Tricia! I'm all out of INGDirect Savings referrals, but I still have 25 referral links on my ING Electric Orange electronic checking account. This account pays up to 4.80% APY on deposits, has no minimum balance requirements, and i's free. It's also pretty easy to use. I'm considering changing my paycheck's direct deposit to this account from my IBC account and making it my primary checking (I still need to keep the IBC because ING doesn't offer paper checks. They will, however, mail an electronic check for you if you need to pay something by check). It has a credit line for overdraft protection, and it's easy enough to keep from paying interest on that if you link the checking account to your ING Direct savings account like I have. Transfers between them are instant, and they only take a few clicks. The Electric Orange referrals work the same way as the Savings referrals: if you open an account using one of these links with a minimum of $250, I'll get $10 deposited into my account. All of my referral fees get put directly into my "Debt Reduction" sub-account and are used to pay down my credit card debt. If you would like to use one of these links to open your own checking account, just drop me a line at jeanjeanie AT gmail DOT com with "Electric Orange Referrals" in the subject line, and I'll send you a link.
