I phoned up today and was asked whether I'd received this offer via mailshot. When I said no, seen it on a website, I was told that I wouldn't be able to open the account.
I'm far too honest!!

I phoned up and said id seen it on the internet. They said fine and have opened it up no probs!

so many doubters, me and my partner opened an account each with 2500, they both have been credited 75, easy 150 quid. Well worth the risk. Thanks for the tip off.

Did you aply on the internet or over the phone and did you mention the offer when you applied?

I chased my £75 today as I was assured I'd get it when I deposited the money (28 August). They are going to put a request through to the 'bonus team' to speed things up. (ie they've forgotten)

No, none of us did. We all completed our applications online.

And did you type anything into tht Promotion code and Promotion ID boxes of the online application form?

No, I just used the link for the £20 offer posted earlier in this thread. I think the box for entering a code is for their refer-a-friend promotion rather than this.

Be sure to cut and paste the web address into your browser rather than clicking through directly though - otherwise they will know that people are clicking through from this site - we don't want them refusing to pay the bonus because of that!

Well if that's the case surely everyone who's opened an account since the 19th July (the date in the small print at the bottom of the £20 offer) can just print out the £20 offer page from their website and then ring up ING after the 5th Oct when they don't get their £20 and tell ING that they opened their account on the understanding they'd get this bonus.

Or am I missing something???

They could try that I suppose, but ING would know which signup page that the customer used - if this wasn't one of the offer sign-up pages then I assume that argument wouldn't get very far.

But as far as i can see there's no difference in the web address the site directs you to to if you click through from the £20 promotion page or if you log onto ingdirect.com and click on open a savings account. If you try it both ways and look at the web address line on your browser I think you'll find they're exactly the same. ie....

I received a new offer from ING Direct. For new customers, put £5000 into their savings account and receive a free TomTom sat nav. Thinking of giving it a go but I certainly won't keep the cash in there after I get the sat nav (delivered by 17/11/07. Personally addressed again I'm afraid so it won't apply to everyone.
