I have recently found an online savings account that gives you 3% interest. there is no commitment for any period of time and there isn't any minimum balances or maintenance fees. I've talked with a couple of you guys and the general concensus us that banks suck. the account is with ING Direct and if your interested, pm me with your email address and i'll send you a referal link. You get $25 to start off with. check it out @ www.ingdirect.com. Even if you don't use me as a referal, it's a killer deal.

Something about saving money on the internet seems a little fishy. I can handle the online banking and such but I would be a bit leary about having an internet company have control of my savings. However 3% interest is pretty damn sweet... I may have to look into this some and see if it is worth the risk or not.

I would have never thought about internet savings bank. But, the fact that they are Member FDIC really helps lower the "fishyness" since they have to be recognized by the gov't to acutally be legit. Have you set something up yet Cliff?

I guess being a member of the FDIC helps take away some of that worry. I will definatly have to look into this further.

Yeah, It's no riskier than online billpay and banking. I've set up an account and it's exactly what they say. Both my uncle and dad are financialy savvy and they both signed off on it. In fact my uncles been with them for about a year. It's really ease and sure beats .0014% interest. PM me with your email addy and i'll send you a referal link.

if you sign up, you don't have to put any money in and you still get $25 to start.

I am in as well. I did some research on them since I thought it sounded like a scam, but they are legit and they are insured. Even if they go under I get my money back. The only real catch is that when you want access to your money you have to transfer it into a checking account and it may take 2 days to clear. Other than that they are just like any other bank....just with alot better rates!

Send me a referal link to 98gtvert [at] sweetrides2001 [dot] com I think I am going to sign up for this you cant beat that 3% interest.

Jeremy

done!

I think Cliff is working for these guys...

Just a question, but what do you get after referring new customers? Hopefully they give you a T-Shirt atleast!

If i read correctly the 25$ sign on bonus has already expired what a rip...

You should still be able to get the $25. I know I got mine, and the referal program is still going on.
