Black Friday isn’t just for retail stores.
ING Direct is offering up their annual Black Friday specials this year from November 25th through November 27th.
If you don’t feel like going out and spending your money you can check out what ING Direct will be offering for you to save.
You know I’ve been an ING Direct customer for years and think it’s a great place for online savings so I’m pretty excited to see what they are going to offer (we also use their online checking and their ShareBuilder investing site)!
Here is the rundown of the ING Direct Black Friday deals:
MONEY Account $32 Bonus
Open up a MONEY Account from November 25th-27th and you can receive a $32 bonus.
What is the MONEY Account?
This is a checking account that helps teach teens to be responsible with their money. Parents and teens can get real-time updates on their balances online, via email, and text. There are no fees or minimums to open the account and money deposited earns interest.
Your young adult also gets a debit card for the account with access to over 35,000 free ATMs.
Teens can deposit checks right into the account or set up a direct deposit.
And I mention the real-time updates, right? This means, as a parent, you can get updates on your teen’s account as they are using it. Pretty cool way to help them test-drive a checking account (like when you take driving lessons and the instructor has their own brake).
We have an Orange Savings account for our daughter and she loves seeing how it grows. If she were a few years older we’d be opening up a MONEY checking account for her.
In order to get the $32 bonus you have to make one debit card transaction within 30 days.

Kids Savings Account $27 Bonus
Open up a Kids Savings Account and you get a $27 bonus. (Only catch is either you or your child must be a new customer).
You $27 bonus starts earning interest immediately and is available for withdrawal after 30 day (though by all means you can keep it there).
The kids savings account is great to show kids the value of putting money away. And their savings will earn interest as well. Kids get their own access to the account to check their balance and keep up with what is in there.
But to take money out the adult attached to the account has to help. When the child turns 18 the account turs into a regular Orange Savings account that is all theirs.

Electric Orange Checking $107 Bonus
When you open up an Electric Orange account and make a combines 5 purchases using your debit card or using Person2Person payments within 45 days you will get a $107 bonus.
On day 50 after opening your account your bonus will show up.
We opened our Electric Orange account a couple of years ago through their Black Friday promotion.
It’s a great account that offers free ATMs at over 35,000 locations (more in my area than my brick and mortar bank), there are no monthly fees, and no overdraft fees. Your balances will even earn interest.
The Electric Orange account also offer up great features like having them mail out checks for you. If you feel more comfortable with physical checks to write on your own then you can get a checkbook from them as well.

ShareBuilder Invest and Get $100
Open a new ShareBuilder account and complete 2 trades by January 31, 2012 and you will get a $100 bonus.
You will get your bonus about 4-6 weeks after your second trade. This is good for individual, joint, and custodial accounts only and Automatic Investment Plan purchases do not count toward your two trades.
The Promo Code is :BLKFRI
We have have a ShareBuilder account for our investing.
What I love about them is the fact that you can buy partial shares when you use the Automatic Investment Plan. This is awesome for those who want to invest but only have small amounts to put towards it right now.
It’s also super easy and quick to transfer money from your Orange Savings or Electric Orange checking in order to fund an investment buy.

Roll Over an Old 401(k) and get $100
Do you have an old 401(k) sitting in an old employer’s account? Take control of your old 401(k) and transfer it into a ShareBuilder IRA and get $100.
You can either open up a new IRA or if you already have a ShareBuilder IRA, you can transfer the 401(k) there.
Use Promo Code: IRABF11 if you are opening a new IRA and use Promo Code: RETBF11 if you are transferring your 401(k) to an existing IRA.

The checking is cool if for no other reason that it provides emergency ATM access to your ING savings

Hmm, that’s a great point!
Hopefully ING’s promotions will entice people to keep their money in savings instead of going out and spending it on stuff they don’t need. I’m always amazed how knocking 20% off an item will make it sell like hotcakes to people that don’t need it just because it’s Black Friday.
I’ve been guilty of the whole “it’s on sale I need to buy it” mentality. But I’m getting better! I’ll be checking out what ING Direct has to offer. It’s smart of them to help people save rather than spend.
That’s great to hear. Instead of just saving money on the items you buy, people can also save extra money also in their checking and savings.

Nice, I saw the email from them this morning about black friday sales and thought, what in the world could they be up to. I will be checking out what they have to offer.

Wow! It seems luring offer. Today is 26th and i also want to open Money Account want get $32.
Saw their email a few days ago. It’s good for them to promote saving rather than spending. Hopefully, everyone realizes that an item on sale doesn’t mean they have to buy it right there and then.
