http://www.ingdirect.com/quicken5/
is a link to set up an Ing Direct savings account and get a $50 bonus deposited to your account. It's a promotion that's part of any purchase of Quicken 2005. You have to feed in a product number of a Quicken 2005 version on that page, such as 313737. (CompUSA lists the product numbers on its Web site for each Quicken product!)
Here are some more details.
Quote:
2.25% annual percentage yield in effect since 11/18/04 . This rate is variable and may change at any time.
$50 Bonus is only available for new accounts with a new customer as the primary account holder.
Limit one bonus per PN number. ING DIRECT Orange Savings Account.
$50 Bonus starts earning interest upon account opening, but is unavailable for withdrawal for 30 days. This is an online-only promotion.
This offer is only valid for purchasers of Quicken 2005 with valid PN numbers. Valid through 12/31/05.
I have no association with IngBank in any way and get no commission if you go for this offer--I just thought it was a nice way to make a quick $50 that anyone reading this could take advantage of. I don't see any "gotchas" in the offer. Enjoy.

I've been using ING for several years and they are a pleasure to deal with. They have one of the best web sites I have ever seen. The web site is so good I have never had to call them. I have also been using Quicken since the DOS days and currently have 12 years of financial records stored there. The one caveat is that you cannot get the $50.00 if you already have an account with ING. I tried several times using different email addresses, but I believe they check the social security number against their records.
All in all, Quicken & ING - a great combination.

Good to know, Ira.
Why not open accounts in the names/SS#s of your spouse and kids (if any)? That's what I'm going to do.

I can now confirm that the whole process went very smoothly. Although there was no mention of the $50 bonus in the sign-up process, when I confirmed my account (by reporting two small deposits Ing made TO my checking account), the $50 bonus was right there in my account balance.
And you're right (as usual) Ira--the Ing site is wonderful. One think I especially like is that it's written in plain English. Even the usual legalese of the account terms is prefaced by a paragraph telling you what the legalese really means, written in English even I can understand without thinking too hard.

Glad you liked the site, Polonius. And the 2.25% interest on savings accounts isn't too shabby these days either!

Emigrant Direct, looks very very similar to ING. No fees, no min. deposit. ACH to link to checking accouts, FDIC insured, etc. However the APY is 3.0% (not a teaser rate, guanteed to hold 3% or higher thru 2005).

Actually Immigrant is now paying 3.25%. ING is not far behind at 3%. Goodness, do we have an actual price war here??

Price war? Sure.
Service war? Not even close. ING Rocks!
Emigrant DECLINED me (a banker!) for one of their savings accounts and I still don't know WHY!

Hi, Curtis. And thanks for the welcome. Found you through search engines (congrats on good rank!) The keywords were something like "fixed transfer rate" +"credit cards". It lead me to the American Express Blue which I will probably be applying for. I dug around so much, I'll be sure to go through your link again in case your cookie was overridden.
This is a nice change as far as most credit card sites are concerned (and I'm sure a good choice to have the bulletin board as far as SEO). Though I won't be around too often as I don't need more distractions, I'll check in occasionally.
