I N G accts

I have to agree with everyone that posted here regarding an automatic savings plan - take what you can afford and not miss each pay period and have it thrown into the ING account - it adds up quickly.

The customer service reps on the phone are as friendly as can be...perhapps they were trained at the Disney Institute before it went away?

Since we all want to jeep the board up, we have to remember the rules about referrals...even I have hard time remebering form time to time.

INGDirect gets a big thumbs up from our family as well. All 4 of us have accounts. I opened mine about 8 months ago and referred my husband and sons maybe 4 or so months ago. We've had zero problems with it after many transfers in both directions.

Definitely a great savings tool for ANYTHING you are saving for!

I just opened my account this morning. I see some people opened accounts for their children. I needed to use a State ID number, or a driver's license to open the account. Is this not necessary? How did everyone else do it?

When you put the age of your children, the box for the ID disappears.

I did not...just their SSN. They are primary account holder and you are secondary...

I lOVE LOVE LOVE ING.

I have been with them for almost two years now.

THere are actually branches in the Philly and NYC area. The Philly one is set up wonderfully, and have the nicest staff.

I love the idea of the automatic savings account. I love the interest I have gotten lately. I have had some luck with referrals as well.

The customer service is first rate.

Anyone who has used there turbo tax link. Could you please post some info on it. I got the disk with my new dell.

Thanks

I found a TurboTax link on another board. It looks like the offer was only good until 6/1/04. But if you have a product key, there's no harm in at least checking it out:
ING/TurboTax Bonus Link

Thanks to the postings on the other I N G thread, I was able to take advantage of the TurboTax offer and got the $50 bonus! I also remember reading the offer expired 6/1/04.

I had to put in my daughter's state ID# when I opened her account. This was because she's 16 and I think I remember that being the threshold age. If the child is younger, I think all you need is their SS#.

 

[summersfam4]

to the family whom referred me, I am so excited that I opened my account the same night! I hope your bonus comes quickly as I see you have a trip approaching (even if you don't need it at least it will be in there earning for you ) My oldest DD who understands money can't wait for me to send her a referral now. You are a great asset to these boards!

[briannesmom]

I opened my account last night, I am so excited! Now I am going to refer my DD and DH so we can start saving for future WDW trips.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say thanks for the great information about ING. I just opened up my account using Microsoft Money and got 50.00.

One step closer to the WDW goal.

Sap 1227 you have a pm! Thanks Tammy

 

[deltachi8]

just checkked our balnce..gotta love it, so easy!

 

[enchantedpixiedust]

I just opened mine a couple weeks ago and am getting ready to send out some referrals to friends/ family. I really like the fact that it's not instantly accessible. I am my own worse enemy saving money.

Good luck to everyone saving!

I asked this at the Rewards board but also checking here for an answer.

Ok, I have looked all through this thread & can't find an answer. We have MS Money - it came on our Dell last fall. When I'm in the Money program, there is a link for ING but no mention of a $50 referral bonus. Should it mention it up front or will it automatically appear later in the process? It does offer 2 free computer programs on my system but that offer expired last Aug - before we even got the computer! When I click the link to ING online through MS Money - it doesn't show the offer either.

Can I do this? If not, I know to get a referral here by PM but the $50 would be nice. Also, if I can get this, can my hubby get a $50 referral through Money too? Or is that offer per household?

Thanks!

Just checked my account balance! I've got $76.00 already!!! Not bad considering my only deposit was only $1.00! My kids are very excited to see their own accounts! It's a great learning tool (I homeschool..everything is a learning experience!). My DD12 has already been crunching numbers on her calculator adding future birthday and gift money.
I love DIS boards!!!

I opened an account as well. Thanks to Beattyfamily for referring me!

It was so easy! And she responded so quickly. I can't wait to start saving. What a great idea. I'm so glad I hopped over here to these boards, I can't wait to share my love of WDW with my twins!
