Just signed up for ING account, thanks!

[JoeThaNo1Stunna]

What a great deal, thanks to the kind person who sent me a referral. Nice $25 for WDW and I've already gotten my sister to sign up so another $10.

[pkasbohm]

Wow! Congrats...it's always fun to watch your account grow!!!

[hulabird]

That's right! I can get my sister to sign up her and her 3 kids for an ING account! She is now also addicted to Disney so she will want to start saving for next years trip! I at first thought I had no one to give my referrals to, but now I do! :bounce: :tongue:

[ticketwm35]

I don't know what ing is.Can someone send me info on it.If i sign up I'll put you as my referral.

Thanks, Ticketwm35

[etwinchester]

i just sent you a pm on ING and what it is. I didn't want to paste it here since there are other threads explaining it and the threads tend to get too long.

Again, check your private messages.

[beattyfamily]

As a reminder to the newbies...Here's a link (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=601957) to the guidelines for ING threads that BethR posted about not asking for referrals or saying you have plenty to give...no soliciting of referrals.

If you'd like to open an account, just privately ask anyone whose posted in the ING threads and include your first and last name and email address and they'll be glad to help you.

A Word (or a Few) About the ING Referral "Thing," PMs, and E-mail

Well, seems as if the ING "Thing" is becoming a hot topic once again on the boards. And there has been some discussion on what we do and don't want to see on the boards.

Let me tell you my interpretation on what we don't want to see on the boards regarding the ING "Thing."

We know that once people find out about ING and the "free" money for referrals, everyone is excited and eager to "share the wealth." Even more so, we know that people are eager to have people help them to get $10 for a referral.

But we do not allow people to solicite others on these boards to get or give referrals.

That means no
"PM me for more information about ING."
"IM me for more information about ING."
"Would someone PM me a referral?"
"Would someone e-mail me a referral?"
"I just opened my account and I have 25 referrals left. PM me for more information."
And so on and so forth. I think that you get the idea.

If you are interested in getting a ING referral e-mail then it is your responsibility to contact someone who may have one. If you see someone who is involved in discussing the merits of an ING account, you can be pretty sure that they have referrals to spare. You can PM (Private Message) or e-mail someone for information. You can PM or e-mail someone by using the appropriate button below their name.

If you have referrals to spare and are interested in others contacting you for one, you have the ability to receive e-mails or Private Messages from the boards by turning on these options in your User CP. You do not need to tell people to PM you, or to post your e-mail address in a post. If you choose not to get pop up notifications for your PMs, then you can just check your User CP regularly.

An occasion personal message is not a problem - for instance, sometimes someone's PM Inbox is full. (There is limited storage of PMs - both received and sent - so you need to delete unneeded ones every so often. ) You may see someone posting a message to that person that they need to "clean house."
But to constantly see people pointing out to others that they have sent so-and-so a PM or e-mail, or have received a PM or e-mail is not necessary since this all can be done - how else? - through e-mail or PM.

The ING "Thing" really IS a great thing. (Hey! Even *I* FINALLY jumped on the bandwagon a few months ago and I have been saving monthly with it. ) And we all want to make a few extra dollars. But we must be fair. And this is the best way that we know of to do so.

I hope that I have clarified things somewhat for all of you. If you have any questions on any of this, feel free to ask.

I opened my ING account and already have 50 in referrels. It is a really nice way to make some quick money for WDW in September. I was leary and talked to my husband before I did it and he had already heard of it and had me transfer my sons savings account over right away. Great customer service as well.

[Tink Fans]

I'll soon be opening my account -- thanks Laura :cheer2:

Are the referrals only through email? I received an actual letter from ING bank but did not notice anything that it might have been a referral from someone. Must have been a fluke. However, it was fun asking a few people if they might have sent it to me. Now they are interested in ING too!

[tiggercrazy]

Except for my husband of course, who is still leary about the whole thing. Well he can just watch my savings grow, then. I don't think he'll be complaining come January when we are spending that money in WDW!

[MAC3]

Can someone PM about this? Thanks

Just read up on ING here, there are plenty of threads on the topic and then if you are interested, just PM someone with your info...first and last name and email address and someone will be happy to help you out.

No asking of referrals or stating you have plenty available allowed on these threads or they will be deleted or closed.

[Ally_DeVille]

Thanks to all who mentioned ING, I now have my account all set up, wow!

Ally

[MAC3]

Hooray!!! I just started saving for my WDW trip next year via ING.

Thanks Guys for the info!

[luvindisneyworld]

I just signed up for my account.Do I have to wait to refer my DH or can I do it now?
Thanks,
Misty

As long as you can log in, you can start referring!!! It's at the bottom of the screen on the blue bar, right in the middle!

[luvindisneyworld]

Thanks,I guess it means i can,because it lets me log in.

[Microcell]

I dove head first into the ING pool. It sure was easy! They seem to have lots of safeguards against identity theft, which was good, but having my credit information to answer questions about already was somewhat unnerving. My mortgage guy/ friend says it is pretty quick to get info about anyone nowadays! As I have said before, you guys are the best!

[PrincessMommy2]

Microcell, I felt the same way when I saw my credit information pop up so quickly!! But, I did do some checking on ING before I opened the account and I did not find anything unsettling. I would never have found it had it not been for these boards!! Thanks!!:sunny:

What I like is when you sign on not only do you need you customer number and password, but they ask a different question each time for verification. It makes it seem a little more secure.

[*Flower*]

Thanks to those with the positive feedback- it caused me to open my ING account tonight!!

I just don't know how long it takes to see the deposits..... :confused:

Yes I agree, but does anyone else ever think that the information that they ask for is pretty easy to get? I mean if whomever has your customer number and pin, wouldn't it be easy for them to have your SS# or zip code? :confused:

Now the questions that they asked yesterday when I opened an account for one of my DDs - now THOSE questions would not be common knowledge!!! :eek:

Congratulations! You will see the deposits within one or two business days. And you will know them when you see them! When ever have you deposited anything under $.10??? :)

:rotfl:

[mum4jenn]

Isnt ING great???? Didnt I read somewhere that this promo will end in August??? I hope not because I dont know many people and it will take a long tome to use those ref.

[RweTHEREyet]

Is it the end of July/beginning of August, or is it the end of August? I haven't done this yet, was just dragging my feet and don't want to miss the deadline.

[luvindisneyworld]

I am not for sure,but I thouht I had read that August was the last month.

[beattyfamily]

fyi...there is now a thread stuck at the top of this board for all ING questions/comments...trying to keep all ING info in one place!

I don't think it's ending. Refrerral emails do have an expiration date, usually it's good for 30 days so maybe that is where the date of August is coming from??

[3DisneyNUTS]

Thanks for this link what a great idea :)

[RweTHEREyet]

one more quick question, are there any fees involved with the ING account?

[luvindisneyworld]

There are no fees.

[MOM POPPINS]

GOOD morning There are no fees with the ing account and no minimum balance and you can open an account for one dollar !


:wave:

[RweTHEREyet]

one more quick one, well, maybe not so quick. I have had a bunch of folks PM me offering a referral. How did any of you decide who to take a referral from? I would like for it to be someone that could "really" use it, but how do you determine that? I almost went with the first person to respond, then I thought, maybe the one that gave the most helpful information. Geez, it is only $10.00, but I would like to do the right thing.

I'd do by the first or maybe someone I recognize or someone whose been helpful or someone from your home state!! That's a tough one!

[RweTHEREyet]

beattyfamily, I have had all of the above :eek: :eek: :eek:

How about "My mother and your mother were hanging out some clothes, my mother punched your mother right in the nose, what color was her blood?" Or catch a tigger by the toe?;)

[RweTHEREyet]

decision made and have asked for for the referral.

[*Flower*]

I know that DH will be opening one soon, it'll be my first (and probably only) referral.

Has anyone opened a joint with spouse and had their spouse open a joint with them later?

Can you make an account joint after you've opened the account as an individual account?

Thanks everyone!!

[Tink Fans]

I opened my account last night -- it was painless and didn't take long at all.

Now when I refer my husband and kiddies, does it matter that it's all the same checking account?

It makes no difference. DH, DD, DS and myself all have accounts that are linked to the same checking account. It makes it so much easier to transfer money back into checking when I need to make withdrawals.

[ptcruisermom]

Opened mine last night-plan on opening ones for my kids

[hulabird]

Mine is growing with referrals (thanks to all who requested one), now I just have to try and forget about it, because it is my "next year" WDW trip money.

[3DisneyNUTS]

has anyone started the account with less than a dollar? I did $1 but I was curious after the fact.

[*Flower*]

I think that the minimum is $1.00

I don't know that I'd want to try anything smaller.......

[MOM POPPINS]

I went to look at the ing website and it says ANY amount to open... :)

:wave:

[hulabird]

The minimum is $1, I started mine with $10. My sister is starting her kids accounts with $1 each.

[BethR]

In an effort to keep all of the ING information on one thread, I am going to close this thread and refer you to THIS THREAD (http://***************/showthread.php?s=&threadid=611740) at the top of the page.

Thanks! :)
