Get a Free $25 For Your Emergency Fund

February 28th, 2008

When planning your emergency fund, it’s important to store a good percentage of the funds in an easily-accessible, higher-interest savings account. I have our current emergency fund savings split between a credit union savings account and an ING Direct savings account. This allows me to gain a high interest rate on the credit union savings, but have easier access to the other half of the money through the ING savings linked to my checking account.

ING recently awarded me with 50 referrals to share with my friends. These referrals earn you an instant $25 if your initial deposit is at least $250. This is a huge snowflake at an unbelievable effective interest rate of 10%. On top of that, I’ll earn $10, so it will help with my snowflaking efforts, too.

I’ve set up 10 of my referrals on my new ING $25 Bonus Referrals page. As those are used up, I will replace them with more until all 50 are exhausted. And, in the spirit of the generosity of I’ve Paid For This Twice Already…, I will post referral codes for other people, too. All you have to do is e-mail me and we’ll get it set up!

Happy savings!
