Hey guys,

Got this email and thought it was a cool offer for members. It's quite simple as all you have to do is go to the link provided and register in your details AND don't forget an Orange Everyday gives you:

No monthly account keeping fees and no minimum deposits.

Free use of any ATM in Australia when you withdraw $200 or more.

Free cash out with EFTPOS and a 50c bonus when you withdraw $200 or more.

After registering, follow the link to open an Orange Everyday account and make your first purchase with your Orange Everyday Visa Debit Card by 30 June 2011. The $40 bonus payment will be paid within the first two weeks of the month following your first purchase and is limited to one bonus payment per account (including joint accounts).

Important Information: The $40 bonus payment offer is only available to new Orange Everyday customers who register and open an account after 8 February 2011.

gee, they are getting less generous with the promotions nowadays … back in september there were referral bonuses, a $40 opening bonus, a $5 monthly bonus for 6 months and a $20 bonus for the first visa transaction.

  VERY true, but it is still free money, I guess they gotta draw the line somewhere.. there's a point where it becomes unprofitable.

already with them :(

Signed up. I'm an existing ING Direct customer but haven't had an Orange account before. Took 10 minutes to sign up. Easy $40 made :-)
- c64 on 21/02/2011 - 19:43
  
  do existing customers have to fill out paper work and take it to a post office to have your identity checked?
  - Cluster on 21/02/2011 - 19:46
    
    I signed up for an account without any mention of required identity checks. The account is already opened and ready to use in my profile. I transfered $1 across from a Savings Maximiser account to activate it.
    - c64 on 21/02/2011 - 19:53
      
      gee that's bizarre. when i opened my orange account back in september i had to have my identity verified by the post office. i know that don't need to verify your identity for high interest online accounts, but for a visa card i thought they would need to check something.
    - sparkles on 21/02/2011 - 19:55
      
      They only need to check your ID once.
  - Jeri Patrick on 03/03/2011 - 17:46
    
    As an existing customer I filled out the paper work, took it to the post office with my driver's licence and I received my new card this week. Have deposited $10 on it and now just have to use it to earn that $40!
c64 on 21/02/2011 - 19:42

  I followed the above link, entered my details and then was taken to the sign up page. The page asked if I'm a new or existing customer. Taking the existing customer route, I was asked to log in and signed up for an Orange account through there. I assume this will still deliver the $40 bonus. If not, the card will just be added to my pile of unused debit cards.

Registered and it said "You've successfully registered. To receive your $40 bonus payment, you'll need to apply for an Orange Everyday and have made your first purchase with your Orange Everyday Visa Debit Card by 30 June 2011" however when you click on the "Apply Now" link under it it's a dead link.

- zazlina on 17/03/2011 - 23:12
  
  why im not getting this message after i successfully registered for the orange account just now? is the promotion already closed?
c64 on 21/02/2011 - 19:46

can anyone see any more t&cs for the promo? can existing customers just open another orange account and get $40?

So basically anyone (with or without a bank account) can claim this money. Just put in a few quid and spend it.
- c64 on 21/02/2011 - 19:59
  
  i assume if it accepts your registration then you are eligible for the promotion. if you are a new customer you might like to consider a high interest maximiser account as well because the orange account is a 0% interest transaction account.
jacklynhydejr on 21/02/2011 - 20:18

Does anyone know if the post office charges for this verification service?

  no, you just need to bring the printed application and necessary id (eg drivers license + medicare card) to post office and they sight everything then send off the application for you. a week later everything arrives in the mail. i had to do this last year.

There doesn't seem to be any time frame it has to be open for, in the t&cs, you just call them to close your account. Which would be done after you get the $40. Awesome.

Whilst the $40 might be 'free' to you, ING is getting paid the $40 or more from VISA. That's called a referral, $40 to pay for your details.
You will forever be sent every new 'offer' and new limit card VISA can push onto you.
And its not hurting VISA at all by taking $40 off them per hit, as its just someone elses hard-earned cash, paid in CC fees, that your receiving.

Nasty, nasty.

  You will forever be sent every new ‘offer’ and new limit card VISA can push onto you.
  
  you do not have all the facts fully at hand. the everyday orange account is a visa DEBIT card. the limit = your account balance. it is not a credit card. there are no credit card interest fees. the only way visa might get money off you is from currency conversion for overseas purchases.
  
  i signed up for an everyday orange account last year and the only visa-related promotional stuff was at christmas where you do five $50 visa transactions and get a $25 bonus (which was a good deal imo).

    Or the fee that they charge merchants to use their services or the fees that they charge the bank for using their services
    - c64 on 21/02/2011 - 23:52
      
      yeah, you are right.
- Cluster on 22/02/2011 - 11:06
  
  I already have a VISA card with NAB (0.5% off on all purchases under $2k, I guess someone else's hard earned cash pays for that too). VISA is welcome to send me all the offers for new cards it wants. They'll all end up in the recycling bin.
  
  If the $40 comes from someone else's 20% interest payments, so be it. No one is forced to pay interest on credit cards in Australia. All banks have generous interest free period cards available, many with no annual fees.
Fong on 22/02/2011 - 01:15

When it says the $40 bonus is made after your first purchase, theres no restrictions on how small the first purchase can be right?
- Ashlea on 22/02/2011 - 02:50
  
  With these kind of things usually no, but even if there is, it doesn't really matter. Next time you need to do your grocery shopping, or buy something at target, just transfer the right amount in and pay with that.

I am an existing ING Everyday Orange customer and I just applied for a new account. I got this message after I applied.

Congratulations - your new Orange Everyday is now up and running too

Your new Orange Everyday is now up and running. We're so excited. Not only do you have an everyday bank account that's totally free from ING DIRECT everyday fees, you now have two of them! The sooner you follow the next 3 steps the sooner you'll reap the rewards.

Step 1: Make a deposit

As you know, you need to make a direct deposit to your Orange Everyday. So, why not organise to have your salary deposited into your new account (if you haven't already done so).

To save you the time (and effort), we've already completed the form for your employer. Just go to 'My Personal Details', click on 'Forms' and simply print out the 'Salary Deposit Form'.

Step 2: Change your direct debits

To really make your Orange Everyday your everyday account, give your new bank account details to any companies where you have direct debits. You'll find a letter for that online as well.

Here's a great fee saving tip: Once your regular deposits are set up, remember to close your old transaction account. That way you'll avoid paying any unnecessary monthly account keeping fees.

Step3: Start using your Orange Everyday every day!

Your new Orange Everyday is now linked to your existing Orange Everyday Visa Debit Card.

Here's how you'll need to use your card for each account:
Your accounts
When using your card
Your original Orange Everyday
Press the 'Savings' or 'Credit'
button
Your new Orange Everyday
Press the 'Cheque' button

Also, when using your card overseas, you can only access money from your original Orange Everyday using the 'Credit' button.

Here's a reminder of just some of the benefits of Orange Everyday:

ING DIRECT doesn't charge you any ATM fees across Australia for using your Orange Everyday
We even reimburse any ATM fees other ATM owners charge you when you withdraw $200 or more per transaction
Plus, we pay you $0.50 into your Orange Everyday every time you get $200 or more at any EFTPOS facility per transaction.

For your added security

If you're ever unsure about any communications from us, call us immediately on 133 464 (overseas +61 2 9028 4077). We're here to help 24/7.

We're so glad you chose Orange Everyday. We can't wait to make your everyday banking even more straightforward and rewarding for you.

Regards,

Brett Morgan
Executive Director, Customer Delivery

hey my first post sounds really cheap and shrewd but whats to stop someone from putting i don't 3000 dollars into an ing account, then withdrawing $200 each time and getting the $2 atm fee?

i could do that tomorrow 15 times and get 30 dollars worth of atm reimbursements. I Could quite possibly do that every 2-3 days and get minimum of 60 dollars a week with a $3000 amount. I know its highly highly immoral but is it illegal? fraud?

  yes, you need to use the credit button (with pin or sign) in order to get your bonus. on a side note, you can only use the savings button at woolworths-owned stores.

They send me two cards, do new customers get two ?
- c64 on 01/03/2011 - 18:05
  
  maybe you accidently applied twice? did you sign up as a joint account?
  - mirovich on 01/03/2011 - 19:08
    
    I think I applied twice. So does it really matter if I got two cards? is there any charges?
    - c64 on 01/03/2011 - 20:20
      
      there are no account keeping fees or anything like that for the everyday orange account, so there is no problem having two cards. however, if you have a maximiser account as well, i think the maximiser can only be linked to one orange account?
      
      if you don't need two cards then it might be best to ring up, explain the situation and get them to cancel one card.
mrblu on 01/03/2011 - 17:42

If I use this card at say a Commonwealth Bank ATM will I be charged an ATM fee? (Assuming I spend less than $200)
- c64 on 01/03/2011 - 18:09
  
  if you withdraw >= $200 then ing will instantly credit you with any atm fees you incurred for the transaction. otherwise you might get charged a fee - it depends on ing's arrangements with the financial institution of the atm.

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.

    actually, reading the description again all it says is you have to use the card: "make your first purchase with your Orange Everyday Visa Debit Card by 30 June 2011"
    
    so credit or savings should work. get $200 cash out as well if you are going to use eftpos :)
