but the snow keeps falling!
Yesterday was Day 50 of my new ING Electric Orange Checking being open, and just like clockwork $121 was deposited into my account!
See the $105 deposit on hold? That's my monthly addition to the account for Christmas 2010.
Before I had a chance to overthink this (especially the part about how I'd like to have an extra $121 to spend on some things for the house like new pillows or new towels or things for me like new boots or a manicure), I went on and initiated a $121 payment to the Chase Card #2.
Even though the savings rates are lower than I ever remember, I love love love my ING accounts. I've had a savings account with them since 2004! If you ever thought you'd like to open an ING savings account, and need a referral to get a $25 bonus for opening an account with $250 or more. Comment on this post writing out your email address (i.e. john doe at comcast dot net) and I'll send you a referral email. You can get a $25 bonus, and I can get $10!
Tuesday, What happened to Monday? edition

How is it I can miss a whole day? I mean I knew yesterday was Monday, I
mean I mailed my tax checks in, and I ran around all day.
The shop was crazy ...
If you want to eliminate the holding on deposits, set the account up on your main banks online banking as an exterior account. I do not set it up with full access just the ability to deposit. I just don't want any bank to know where all my money is. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if you transfer from your main bank it is available the day it goes in. Just something to keep in mind.
Great idea! I never thought about that...but of course I probably linked my main checking to ING long before I ever signed up for online banking. :) I'm a true creature of habit.
ReplyDeleteIt may seem unsatisfying to throw a medium-sized chunk of money at a large-sized credit card balance (I know all about it) but just think: That Chase #2 should be under the $3,000 balance soon, if it isn't already! Celebrate the day you see the left-most digit roll from 3 to 2.
