Unfortunately, Capital One has suspended this once-great refer-a-friend program that ran for at least 13 years. You can still get a $10 bonus from SmartyPig and a $20 bonus from NetSpend to help you get a little cash in your pocket just for saving. Then, check out some of the money-saving tips on this blog to get a little more!

Thanks for the orange savings referral, only one left now.

I once met the owner of ING Arkadi Kuhlman. He was a very cool guy. This was before he even was involved with ING. I had a feeling he would do great things.

I just opened my electric orange account with your referral link.
Thanks!
Jim says
I just opened an Electric Orange account with your referral link. Thanks! Feel free to cross it off, I used the second link.
Jo Ann says

Hey, I just found your blog from the Laptop giveaway thing, but it’s fantastic, I’ve been reading tons from your archive and definitely plan to keep reading!
Anyway, just opened an account with a referral link – my high interest WaMu account just got bought by Chase, so I figured it was time to switch 🙁
But ING Direct seems quite cool, even if they aren’t giving QUITE as much interest, it’s close! And I like the idea of the sub-accounts 🙂
Anyway, thanks for the referral link – and for having such an awesome blog!

I have been checking this blog and its archives for the last two days, it is quite unique and helpful blog. My bad luck that ING Direct is not available in my country

Its great that ING is giving the $25 bonus. And thanks to you for sharing the information. I think most people should have accounts with these virtual banks… since they don’t charge transaction fees!!

ING rocks, people save heaps with them.

This is a great idea! I have an ING account but haven’t even utilized the referral system yet. Thanks for coming up with this!
Jill says
I just stumbled upon your blog and I love it! Thanks for all the tips.
I’d like to open an ING account and help you towards your emergency fund as well. Please add on additional referral links, so we can get this party started! 🙂

Hello, I log on to your new stuff on a regular basis. Your
humoristic style is witty, keep it up!

Does the $25 bonus still work, even for existing customers? I have had a Capital One 360/ING Direct checking for a few years, but now want to open a savings account. I want to wait for a time when they offer me the $25 bonus though. Thank you.
Stephanie says
Sorry Stephanie (good name, by the way!) – unfortunately referrals are for new Capital One 360 customers only :-/ They might do something around Black Friday at the end of the month that you could qualify for, though. They seem to do special offers on holidays!
Hazelip says
You even get bonuses for opening savings accounts for your kids.
Terry says
So I signed up, but it said that $275 is less than $250 so I won’t get a bonus. Maybe because I have a Cap One credit card, it doesn’t consider me a new customer, and doesn’t have appropriate error messages?
Stephanie says
Ack! That’s no good! Capital One 360’s customer service is outstanding, though – have you checked in with them to see what’s up?
sherrin rosette says
Did you eventually get your bonus from Capital One? New money should not include “debt” ?!?!? Or does Cap1 see it that way?
sherrin rosette says
