Receiving $100 Banking Bonus Money

I'm pleased to report that both my spouse and I received $50 each in BB&T Free Checking Banking Bonus money early last week. We only need to keep the accounts opened for 90 days, which would mean about 60 days from now. I should say that I'm getting more comfortable in finding this kind of deals now :-)

Receiving $150 banking bonus money

As I have covered in this post about the many banking accounts that we have, I'm happy to report that HSBC has posted $150 bonus money to our Interest Checking accounts ($75 for me, and $75 for my spouse) on early April 2007. We opened the accounts in early March 2007. Off to the temporary 6% Online Savings accounts the bonus went (through online transfer)!

What is interesting is that we both shared only one Online Savings account with balance a little bit more than $3,000. This balance turns out to qualify each of our own checking accounts so that we do not need to maintain any amount in the checking accounts or to have direct deposit to the checking accounts. We are so pleased with this fact because we share the $3,000 minimum balance requirements and are able to maintain that balance in relatively high interest Savings account.

Now, I'm waiting for the BB&T bonuses to be posted. The BB&T promotion page mentioned that they should be posted by the end of April.

ING Direct Sign Up Bonus

We have been banking with ING Direct since 2000 with their online Orange Savings products, and we have been very happy with the products, customer service, and rates. We recently opened an online Electric Checking with them as well.

The Orange Savings account comes currently with 4.50% APR with no minimum balance requirements and no fees! Your savings are FDIC-insured and accessible 24-hour through the website and phone. You could link up to 3 of your current checking accounts at other financial institutions, so you don't have to switch your current banks.

If you are interested to sign up, use one of the following links to receive $25 sign-up bonus, which would be posted immediately. To receive the bonus, you should fund your account with $250 from your checking account (not including the $25). I will receive $10 from this referral. The account opening process is a breeze and within 5 minutes, you should be able to log in to your new account.

> ING Direct Sign Up Bonus #5 (Will open in a new window)

> ING Direct Sign Up Bonus #6 (Will open in a new window)

Each of the links above is good for one person only, therefore I put down multiple links. After you click through the link, at the top of the second page it will say something about the $25 bonus (i.e. statement like this: "Start savings with a great rate. To receive your $25 bonus, open and fund your Orange Savings Account with at least a $250 initial deposit.") and you will know the link is still good. Here's how a good second page will look like:



Otherwise, the second page will show error messages with red font. I will maintain the freshness of the links above periodically; If all the links are used up, please email me at freeatforty@gmail.com, and I will supply new fresh links.
