Recently I sent an email to about two dozen friends and family members telling them about the ING savings account. If they signed up, they would have gotten a bonus of $x (I forget what) and I would have gotten $25. How many of these people (who know and trust and love me) took the time to sign up for this obviously-more-beneficial-than-what-they-have-now account? One.
The average American never ceases to amaze me with his level of cluelessness and inertia in regard to finances.

I've had the exact same experience. You basically have to march up to your family's computers and sign them up yourself. It's rediculous.
