Free $250 From WTDirect Savings Account

EDIT: Wow, it looks like WTDirect has pulled this promo already. I just received this email this afternoon: We would like to thank you for your recent participation in the WTDirect Sign On Bonus promotion. The promotion was wildly successful, moreso than forecasted. Unfortunately, WTDirect needs to end the promotion early. Effective immediately, the Sign On Bonus is no longer valid.  Damn, and I didn’t even get a chance to get in on it. I hope you all did.

WTDirect is offering up to a $250 bonus when opening a new High Yield Savings Account with them. If you open a WTDirect Savings Account by September 5th you will receive a bonus based on your initial deposit amount.  Here are the deposit amounts and associated bonuses:

Initial Deposit	Bonus Received
$10,000	$100
$15,000	$150
$20,000	$200
$25,000	$250

You must keep the initial balalnce in the account for 60 days.  The current interest rate on the account is 3.31% APY which is pretty respectable considering other banks out there.

Use the promo code WTF3SOB when Signing Up. Note that the  bonus will be credited to your WTDirect account during the first week of November, assuming you fulfilled the deposit and hold requirements.

Free $25 From ING Electric Orange Checking

ING is offering a $25 bonus on their Electric Orange Checking Account.

All you need to do is open an Electric Orange Checking Account with at least $1, activate your Electric Orange Debit Card, and use your Electric Orange Card to make at least 3 signature-based purchases in the first 45 days after your account has been opened.

Your $25 bonus will be automatically deposited into your Electric Orange 50 days after your account has been opened when the 3 purchases have posted.

ING’s Electric Orange Checking account offers higher than average interest rates on your balances. One thing to note is that ING’s Electric Orange Checking account does not have paper checks, the idea is that everything should be done electronically through debit card transactions and electronic bill pay. You can have paper checks sent from ING to people you need to pay, but you don’t actually receive a checkbook.

If you can get by without a paper checkbook, then this account should suit you fine.

If you would like a $25 bonus for ING’s Orange Savings account, check out this post.

You must open the account with a minimum of $100 and set up direct deposit to the account. The first direct deposit must be completed within 60 calendar days of account opening. The $125 reward will be deposited into your new account within 6-8 weeks after the initial direct deposit is completed.

Free $50 from Chase Freedom Visa Card

EDIT: This deal is expires on October 24th

Chase is offering a $50 sign up bonus for their Freedom Visa Card after your first purchase.

This card is flexible in the fact that you can switch between cash back and miles whenever you want. So if you are currently getting cash back, but then decided you want to use miles for a vacation, you can switch over to miles, use them for your trip, then switch back to cash back. Also, there is no annual fee with this card.

Here is the earnings breakdown:

• Earn 3% back at gas stations, grocery stores and quick service restaurants
• Earn 1% back everywhere else

Don’t forget that most grocery stores offer gift cards. So you can earn 3% on more than just gas stations, grocery stores and quick service restaurants. For example, the Dominick’s grocery store by me sells Home Depot gift cards, among may others. If I were to use the Chase Freedom Visa at Home Depot I would only receive the 1% back, but if I buy a $100 Home Depot Gift card from the grocery store, I would receive the 3% back. This is another little way to maximize your earnings with this card. Happy Shopping!!

What you need to do: Sign up for the Chase Freedom Visa Card
Obligation: None
Initial Reward (if any): $50 after first purchase
Money to get started: $0
Things to Note: There will be hard credit inquiry applied to your credit report when applying for the card
