Mod — Please use this forum thread to discuss whether you have received the bonus.

A new ING Direct promotion has just commenced. It is similar to http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/29920. The Savings maximiser is a fee-free high interest online account with no minimum balance (currently 6.35% for the first 4 months and 5.00% thereafter)

edit: There might be a problem for existing customers without a savings maximiser account. They are eligible but there is nowhere to enter the promotion code. ING are investigating.

Only people who don't have an existing Savings Maximiser account are eligible for the opening bonus. Only existing members who have the offer (check your My Offers | Register section - it appears to be for existing Savings Maximiser account holders only) are eligible for the referral bonus. To get the bonus, the referral code needs to be entered at the bottom of step 4 of the application.

Opening a Savings Maximiser account can be done completely online (you need a phone number, TFN and an existing transaction account with any bank). To active your new account, a small transfer (say $1) is required from your nominated linked transaction account.

Be rewarded for referring your friends and family

Get $40 in bonus interest for every friend you refer (up to 5) who opens a Savings Maximiser and makes their first deposit by 14 April 2011. Plus, your friend will also receive $40 in bonus interest and enjoy our current great variable welcome rate offer. You need to refer your family and friends by 31 March 2011.

Terms and Conditions

Bonus interest (up to a maximum of $200) will be credited to your account by 30 April 2011. A tax liability may exist with the payment of the bonus interest. This offer is only applicable on the first Savings Maximiser that your friend(s) open (including joint accounts).

  • j4ck on 09/03/2011 - 11:46

    You can't do this if you have an existing account.

    If you do, you're ineligible for this promotion.

    Sucks :( Just called up the people then.

    Promo referral code

    R3913F029

    Type in at step 4 :)

    • Ceceilia on 09/03/2011 - 23:06

      hi din, I used you referal code…..hope it's still valid

      • dins on 09/03/2011 - 23:42

        just in case send your email addy to [Removed as per OP's request] and I will enter it in my account so you will receive an email from ING

      • dins on 12/03/2011 - 13:04

        Hi Cecilia, I replied to your email hope you got it. Both of you can use this same code (R3913F029). If you haven't got the ING thing done yet do it quick because I have referred a few others as well so you need to get in quick to make sure you get that $40. Hope every thing works out well :)

  • dins on 09/03/2011 - 14:52

    Pls post here if you use the above code so ppl can see how many are left.
    As it stands 3 left :)

    • Ceceilia on 09/03/2011 - 23:20

      Hi, actually I put in your ref code in step 4 - but there is no confirmation if it is sucessful promo code or not……….. Does anyone know if it is possible to confirm after it is submitted?
      Thanks.

      • dins on 09/03/2011 - 23:32

        Hi Cecilia, as far as i know if it went through and you did not get an error message then it should be fine (anyone pls correct me if i'm wrong here).

        To active your new account, a small transfer (say $1) is required from your nominated linked transaction account. I think you may need to visit a post office for ID verification which just takes a couple of minutes no biggie.

        You need to have the account all set up and activated before 14th April and the $40 should show up by end of April. Once you receive the $40 you can transfer it to your original bank account and close the ING account if you want. Easy money

  • ktay on 09/03/2011 - 17:02

    Does anyone need a referral code? Let me know i've 4 left. PM me and i will add you to my referral list.

    "edit: There might be a problem for existing customers without a savings maximiser account. They are eligible but there is nowhere to enter the promotion code. ING are investigating."

    Anybody know what to do with this?

    • rmk on 16/03/2011 - 00:15

      nothing, ING told me existing customers no matter what sort of account are ineligible

      • hollycow on 22/03/2011 - 22:39

        really? then someone should correct that!!! i got misled:(

        • jacklynhydejr on 23/03/2011 - 11:59

          ING told me so long as you do not have a current savings maximizer, and never had one, then you are a NEW customer to the savings max and are eligible (I have an Orange account). Though I am a bit of a dummy and didn't ask for her name.

        • antkey on 24/03/2011 - 09:44

          Used the email address kindly provided by mattgal, I sent email to [email protected] but got no answer at this moment.

        • jacklynhydejr on 24/03/2011 - 10:08

        • antkey on 25/03/2011 - 16:18

          Seems ING ignores my email.

          do not feel needing to call them just for $40

  • theguyrules on 14/03/2011 - 23:18

      My email address is - [email protected]

      • clintoff on 16/03/2011 - 18:38

        Hi hotdog123, will do. Haven't received anything just yet but will keep an eye out for it.

        Thanks

  • hotdog123 on 16/03/2011 - 11:19

    Hi,

    I just apply The ING Saving Maximiser account through online. How do I get the referrals code??

    Thanks.

    • jacklynhydejr on 16/03/2011 - 11:25

      Send me a private message with your email address and I'll send you one

      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/35221/contact

      • jacklynhydejr on 16/03/2011 - 11:38

        You account is not accepting messages.

        If you have only just applied, I don't think you are eligible to have your own referral code yet. This was a deal for pre-existing customers to sign new people up.

        Did you enter a referral code when you applied?

        Let me know if any of your friends need referral codes.

        • hotdog123 on 16/03/2011 - 11:49

          So I can't get any referral code. But is there can get the $40 when I enter the referral code?

          Yup, I still some friend want to open this account. Do you any any leave?

        • jacklynhydejr on 16/03/2011 - 12:03

          yes, send me the email addresses of those who need it http://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/35221/contact

          or here is my referral code that can be entered in step 4… R511937CC

    • jacklynhydejr on 16/03/2011 - 11:52

      Maybe you can contact ING and say you didn't enter the referral code (R511937CC)…this way you can get the $40 for your account

  • jacklynhydejr on 16/03/2011 - 12:33

    A little bit late to jump on this bandwagon, but if anyone still needs a referral code, please use this one

    R511937CC

    Sleep easier tonight knowing you've donated to the poor!

  • tanoshiiki on 16/03/2011 - 14:17

      • jacklynhydejr on 22/03/2011 - 17:28

        You can use this code R511937CC if you are in a hurry to get the ball rolling :)

  • bargainfreebiewhore on 17/03/2011 - 17:50

    Does anyone know how one would go about closing the account if we didn't want it after the $40 was deposited? Thanks

    • c64 on 17/03/2011 - 20:39

      you probably need to ring up. i don't think you can do it from your online account.

    The definitive answer…

    Thank you for email regarding our promotion Refer-A-Friend.

    The referrals need to be totally new to ING DIRECT. That is why unable to enter a promotional code.

    Please email or call us anytime on 133464.

    • antkey on 30/03/2011 - 18:37

    Just received this in my email.. quicker than i thought! Anyone else receive the same thing?

    • jacklynhydejr on 02/04/2011 - 12:08

      Are you a brand new customer, or do you have any other accounts with them?

  • jacklynhydejr on 02/04/2011 - 15:46

    TO QUELL THE DEBATE….

    I got the money today (minus the withholding tax because I stupidly forgot to add my TFN)!

    I DO HAVE ANOTHER ING ACCOUNT (though NOT a savings maximizer)!

    Applied on the 16th March.

    • abc on 08/04/2011 - 11:57

      how did u enter a promo code as it didnt ask for existing customer application?

      Unless you applied as a "new customer". In that case dont you end up with 2 customer numbers / account logins?

  • bargainfreebiewhore on 02/04/2011 - 18:13

    I was a brand new customer and didn't have any other accounts with them. Looks like it worked for both new account holders and existing.
