Here’s a simple way to make $25 in only a few minutes. Previously, I’ve written about why every college student should have a high-yield savings account and the benefits of opening a separate account. By opening a high-yield savings account at ING Direct, you’ll get a $25 bonus after 30 days if you deposit a minimum of $250. That’s a 10% return just for opening a free account.
About the $25 bonus:
- Use an active link from the list below to be eligible for the bonus
- Complete the application (no need to enter a promotional code, because the links have the promotional information built in)
- Fund the account with an initial deposit of at least $250 and leave it in the account for at least 30 days
- Disclosure: The $10 I get for referring you will go directly into my loan payback fund (my ING account is my payback fund)
After 30 days, you can withdraw some or all of your money, because there is no minimum balance requirement and no annual or monthly fees. Interest on your savings account is accrued daily, compounded monthly and credited to your available balance at the end of each month.
If everything sounds good, get your $25 by following these steps:
- Click on one of the “ING $25 Bonus” links below
- Read the terms and then click on the “Open now!” button
- Verify that the link is still active. The new page should say:
“Start savings with a great rate. To receive your $25 bonus, open and fund your Orange Savings Account with at least a $250 initial deposit.”
If the top paragraph says anything else, then the link has been used, and you need to come back here and choose another one. If there are none left, leave a comment or contact me, and I’ll add more. I only have 25 referrals You only get 25 referrals per year, so I’ll keep posting links until I run out.

It’s funny – I posted this on my blog like 6 months ago, and I’m surprised at how many people don’t know it. Plus, if you’re like me, you may qualify for a no-interest loan (find out by visiting the student financial aid dept), where the interest is paid by the government as a form of a grant.
I save quite well and don’t need a loan to pay for school, but I’ll still get one to cash in on ING direct giving me 4-5 APY on 4-10 grand the government will loan me for free. As long as you’re disciplined not to spend the corpus of the loan …
Also, even if you need the money you can probably do something similar to credit card arbitrage, where you’ll still get a few months of interest from the savings account.
If you have any Canadian readers who want to take advantage of this, I have 20 referrals left (but the Canadian one is only $13 instead of $25. Better then nothing though!)
Thanks for posting this! I just used #24!
Thanks a lot! I’m lucky 25. I’m glad I went for this one over B of A’s Keep the Change. That .2 percent APY and cash matching can only be accessed after a year! I’m desperately trying to save before starting grad school next fall. I’m putting all my Christmas gift money in this new savings account!
Woo Woo! $25 bucks on it’s way! Thanks!
gah i missed it
I’m leaving a comment cause they are all gone- can you still get more links?

Man, I can’t wait til this gets up and running again.
When’s your next round?
Anyone with anything positive to say about survey sites is probably a marketer. By the way, I’m a serial killer and the last woman I raped and strangled with a sock happened to be a marketer (no joke, I knew her from work).
tneveca your are one sick person
ING is wonderful! Way to share the love also by giving away the $25 for each of those people! That’s awesome! I think I will try and do that on my site also!
And what’s the difference with a Pyramid scheme?
Don’t trust blogs that put in a good word of a business or employment opportunity. The people who write them are called “ghost bloggers,” and they are payed to write something favorable. Ghost bloggers get payed about $10 to $25 per blog post and even less for subsequent comments. For all you know, more than three quarters of the comments here were also put up by the ghost blogger. There may even be only two people here, me and the ghost blogger.
Don’t take a job as a ghost blogger either. It pays next to nothing, just like filling out resumes, and it destroys the internet. Nine tenths of the information on the internet is false because the people writing it are sponsored by biased parties trying to manipulate readers in order to sell something, whether it be a product, service, or idea.
looks good to me- have only made a few buks but its better than nuttin
That looks like a cool deal wonder if it is still valid.
I have to try this. Thank you.
Hello, just wanted to mention, I enjoyed this article.
It was funny. Keep on posting!
The prayers of the mortals sustain them. Indian Capital New Delhi has for long been a hot favourite destination for tourists for its
historical sights like Red Fort, Qutub Minar,
Jama Masjid, India Gate and many more. If you are concerned about rowdy tykes mussing
up their hair and dirtying their clothing, you might
want to take the photos at the beginning of the event.
