ING offer: $50 for opening electric orange checking, use debit card Archived From: Finance |
Got an e-mail yesterday saying that they'd give me $50 to open an Electric Orange checking account and use the associated debit card 3 times. However, when I try to open the account (via www.ingdirect.com/electric50), the reference code is apparently invalid. Anyone else having trouble with this? |

Click 'Apply Now'. Open your Electric Orange. Be sure to use code: EM227 Activate your Electric Orange MasterCard® Debit Card. Use your Electric Orange Card to make at least 3 signature-based purchases in the first 45 days after your account has been opened. Your $50 bonus will be automatically deposited into your Electric Orange 50 days after your account has been opened. |
I also received the email, with both $25 (www.ingdirect.com/electric) and $50 promotion. Both reference codes are invalid. |
How about we post the codes so we're ready to use them when ING fixes the glitch? I only got the $25 offer -- reference code EM226 What is the reference code for the $50 offer? |
$50 code for me was EM227. Here's a Bronx cheer for a company that sends out an offer that is invalid the VERY NEXT day! FWIW, I sent them an e-mail asking whether the reference code really is supposed to be invalid already. |
It didn't work for me online, but I was able to open it by talking to a CSR. She was very surprised about the promotional - perhaps it's just really, really new? |
Question for anyone who has done this promotion: If I pay for my groceries and choose the "credit" option, but the cashier doesn't make me sign because it is under a certain amount, does that still count towards the three transactions? |
Also, is ING a hard pull on your credit report when you open a savings account? |
I got the $25 offer a few weeks ago and it worked fine. They say I should get my money on 10/22. |

Too bad ING keeps lowering their rates... otherwise I might have actually used this account. |
If you open their checking account, it is a hard pull because of their overdraft protection. |

I opened up an Electric Orange account last night and an inquiry with Equifax showed up on my credit monitoring today. I was hoping to avoid a hard pull since I already have an Orange Savings account with ING. I think the hard pull was because of overdraft protection; but I couldn't find any way to opt out of it during the application process. |
