I just got this in my email. It's slightly different I believe from the offers previously stated.
If you want to help me out and be my OzBargain friend, you can use my friend code ING-MQEL
Hi,
We trust you've been enjoying your new
Orange Everyday transaction account and
getting 5% cash back everyday on your
contactless purchases.
For a limited time, you can get a $50 bonus
for every friend (up to 5) that activates a new
Orange Everyday card before 31 January
2013. Your friend will also get $50, and the
5% cash back offer when they sign up!
To take advantage of this great offer,
simply forward this email onto your
friends and family.
All your friend needs to do is:
Register at
ingdirect.com.au/friendEnter your code:
"XXX-XXXX" Not real code - see my code aboveApply in 4 steps
Pretty good deal all around I think.

Not sure if ING will tell you that the code has been 'used up' when you type it in.
I think they would though cause then a person might expect a $50 bonus when they open the account and not get it cause it's been used by 5 people already. Bad PR for ING Direct and a potential claim with the ACCC for 'false and misleading advertising'.
Great idea. I've made a google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlLjeGqut8ZhdG5...

+2 votesI'm already an ING customer but only with a savings maximiser account, when I go to the linked page and enter in someone's code it asks me if I'm already an ING customer. When I say yes, it tells me to log into my online banking thing and sign up for the new account through there. I can't see any option to enter in a friend's code though through the online banking way, will I still end up getting the $50? :/

If you complete the original form with your name, code and other details I believe they will cross reference those details with the details you enter when opening a new bank account and then apply the $50 if the other conditions are met.

A quick google doc for everyone to add their referral code to, so we can keep check of who has referrals left: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlLjeGqut8ZhdG5...
Is there a limit as to how long you have to have the account open for? A mate is with ING so I'll use his code, transfer over $20 or something, then wait till the $50 goes in and maybe just transfer it out. I dunno, might keep it as a holiday slush fund but already got 3 accounts and one savings account so dunno if it's worth it.
Anything to stop people from just transferring out the bonus and closing the account the moment it goes in there?
greenpossum on 20/11/2012 - 17:16 ¶IIRC you have to wait until next March to get the bonus. But you'd be silly not to use the 5% PayWave rebate.
Yeah knew I'd have to wait till the money actually went in there. To be honest, the 5% PayWave doesn't really bother me haha. Just means more hassle of having to transfer money over from my normal transaction account to the ING one, along with the regular transfers I do to my 2 NAB ones for the car and also rent/bills. Can just get too complicated :P

Just make one $1k transfer and then go shopping with it. The interest you lose will only be a small fraction of the $50 you save. Pretty good for a couple of minutes work.

So the google Docs file is useless as it is completely inaccurate. Comments section was not the greatest solution but it was better.

Yeah, just annoying… I had wanted to give the benefit of doubt that the OzBargain community was a bit better than this though.

Other sites use this simple method.
Someone who has a code posts a comment stating they have a code.
If people want the code they can DM you the person who commented they have a code.
When the code expires the original comment is deleted.
PendulousGirl on 20/11/2012 - 17:45 ¶Sounds very simple. If anyone needs a code please message me. Still have 3 available that I know of.
+2 votesGreat deal, I cant get over how great this bank is. No fees, great rate on the savings account and I got a free $50 when i signed up, now i get an extra $50 per referral! I'm stoked!
By the way, if anyone wants a code (and to do me a solid) PM me, I still got 5! :D
5 times. PM me if you want the code
