is anyone going to so the ING free £20 when you open a savings account?

I might sign up at lunch time. you just need to credit the account with £1 and you get £20 free.

Good luck - I've certainly had about £40 from them, some people quite a bit more, mine seem to be very low value, but its absolutely free money!

Just got quidco in today - £30.82.

i managed to sign up to the free £20 savings account. good job i didn't wait until lunch time as the offer is now closed. i will add the money if/when i get it.

Wow, Pebblespop, that was lucky! I did mine this morning as soon as I read about it in the newsletter, so we'll hopefully be alright as it did say in the Ts & Cs bonus would be paid as long as first deposit cheque was cleared by end of the month or something like that.

Checked my Gr€a$ypalm account and have £51 payable on 1st April, so it will just make it within my 100 days. Also have over £100 in TCB, my €gg cashback and various small items that should add up to almost £200 before that time but I'm still nowhere near the £1000. Got email saying half price listing on eBay at weekend, so I may need to try finding stuff to list there. I'm such a coward - I don't want to end up with fees and selling nothing.

Im too late to join in the £1000 in 100 days but I worked out there are about 37 days left till the 100 days are over and £1000 pro rata leaves me with £370. So thats my personal challange.

£370 by 10th April!!!!

So far I have

£24 from mystery shops
£40 from opening the ING account (DH and I both did one)

Off to look for more ideas!
