At the beginning of this year I opened a high-yield savings account, something that has been a goal of mine for a long time. After much research on the best high-yield savings programs, I chose to open my account with ING Direct. One of the reasons I chose ING was because of their excellent customer service reviews and their great referral program.

I got $25 free when I opened my ING account with at least $250.

Once you open your ING account, you can then get $10 for each person you refer that starts their account with at least $250.  This referral program works for either the ING Orange savings account, or the ING Electric Orange checking account.

The current APY’s are as follows:

• ING Orange Savings -2.50%% APY
• ING Electric Orange Checking -up to 2.80% APY

If you’d like to get a referral for the free $25, just leave a comment with your preferred email.

(Please note:  don’t type your exact email, otherwise bots will pick it up and you’ll start getting spammed!  It should look something like johndoe @ youremailserv dot whatever)
