Link: http://www.ingdirect.com/nyt/ Bonus code: NY3, expired 9/30/07; this code worked a couple of days past deadline. Now link: http://www.ingdirect.com/nytimes Bonus code (long, individual variety) to be found near bottom right NY Times enclosure
Update: I found orange-color enclosure in NYTimes, that has its individual long code at the bottom, expiring 11/30/2007! Can this variety of account opening (via post-office mail-in) stack with $25 referral??? (I understand from posts below that on-line application with the-now-expired-code didn't stack on top of referral bonus)
I congratulate everyone replying how quick it was to just open "for $50". Still, has anyone made an effort to "think outside the box" and figure out how to open "for $75", i.e. how to combine the NY Times leaflet application + $25 referral bonus? Then spin it around the family for the total of, like, $300 bonus???
I already have an ING account under my name only - anyone know if I could sign my wife up and get this bonus? Are two individual accounts under one household allowed there?

Customer service told me "no credit check of any sort" when I opened my account 3 months ago. But CS has been wrong before. (I haven't checked my credit lately to verify that no hard pull was done).

In for a quick $50 too. Appears this offer code earns you $15 more than the regular referral incentive which is $25 for referred person, and $10 for self. Easy money, but 1099'd. Nice find to start my morning, thanks!
Fine print "The $50 bonus is available only for new accounts with a new Customer as primary owner. Only one bonus will be provided per household. Bonus starts earning interest upon account opening, but is unavailable for withdrawal for 30 days. "
I have a ING account but I am not the primary holder. When I tried to apply one for myself, I was told my info is already in the system, and couldn't go thru.

I received the same message...but worked for wife at same address.
I wonder if I closed my Ing account today and tried again in a few days.
