ING - FREE £20 for Opening an Account with £1.00

VT82

The girl on the phone never said anything about this, and we mentioned the promotion a couple of times. I've even just posted off my cheque mentioning it again in the cover letter.

Oh well, yet another bank will be getting a complaint off me then! But this time I don't think it will be upheld. Idiots.

Don't suppose it matters, I wanted a new account anyway.

Hi folks,

Sadly, ING have told us that they won't be paying out the £20 unless applicants fulfil all criteria, which include having been sent the offer directly.

We have written a news article on this: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/new...ut-on-20-bonus

Before everyone gets too despondent this is NOT the first time ING have stated that a promotional offer Is only for the household which received the leaflet/E-mail drop.
I opened an ING account a couple of years ago along with dozens of others after finding that offer here on MSE. That promotion was also for intended recipients only apparently.

I got my £50 (more back then) just as many others here did !

I openend an account, 2.75% for an savings account that permits withdrawals is not so bad. However, I have not click the box that I wanna regularly save. I hope it is still possible that I transfer from time to time via direct debit into this account so that I get some interest?

Many thanks,
P

It doesn't matter too much, it's nice to have a savings account that's not with my bank.

You have to link it to a current account, then you can set up a standing order to fund the ING account if you wish, or make one off payments into it. Withdrawals will go into the linked account.

It is a good account. But I still want my 20 quid!!!

Excellent, this is what I wanted to know. Probably I am trying to save up to this £5000 before I put it then into a proper tax free ISA before end of the tax year.

Not 2 anymore, since Egg changed their rate from 2.8% to 2.5% now! So only the AA left :j

And ING told me 2.75% was the minimum it would be for 12 months (although Martin said it was a 2.25% bonus - still meaning a minimum of 2.25% for a year).

And some people may have maxed out the FSCS protection with the AA.

And it's good to have competition otherwise AA would withdraw their rate and re-launch it lower.
