$75 direct deposit bonus. Deposit checks into your account through direct deposit and get access to your money right away.

Thanks for the info. Was considering an online bank (ing - orange) .

Do you know if there are any monthly fees ?
Benefits for using their stock services ?
Do they give you a regular check book (paper) ?

contrast with ING ? (the orange online bank).

anyone ? Comments appreciated.

Thanks baulucky for the nice info. Some bonus whoring off banks now.

I use ING direct for my savings account and love it. It has 2.2% APR which is the best i've found on a savings account per se. Also there is a 25 dollar sign up bonus... if you PM me your email i could send it to you if you want.

this is a savings acct only so there are no checks.

I picked off this bonus 3 months ago. There are about 20 ways they can charge you fees and only 1 way that they can't. Read everything twice. Easy money.

I went to E*Trade Financial and all I saw was a offer for $100 to open a new account with direct deposit. Is there a special link to get the better bonus(es)?
