Fresh New ING $25 Referral Links
ING Direct is an online bank with the quickest $25 bonus I can think of. I have set up some automatic links so you can sign up right away. In order to get the bonus, you must go through my referral link and deposit $250. The $25 bonus will take no longer than a day to show up. There is no monthly or minimum fees. Setup is extremely fast and easy. Not only it’s a quick $25, the account is 2.75% APY and FDIC insured. You can also use this account to send money to other bank accounts such as Chase and Bank of America, and it will count as a Direct Deposit requirement.
Once you got your account open, you can send 50 referrals to your friends and family members to make up to $500 more.
How to get it : Again, go through one of the links below and open the account with at least $250.
If you see this message, then the link as already been used.
We’re sorry, but the referral link within the email you received has expired and is no longer valid. We recommend that you contact the sender and ask them to re-send the referral email. Or click ‘Continue’ to proceed with the application process without the account opening bonus.
Make sure to choose another link to get the $25 bonus. Comment below if you don’t see anymore working links.
Checking and Savings: You can choose Checking and Savings. Only one $25 bonus with the $250 deposit requirement is awarded for signing up for one of these accounts. Make sure to go through only one link below.

Change Your Sprint Plan to $30 SERO YMMV
I know I know, I’m beating this subject to death but this plan is very very good. I’ve written in-depth about why you should join here. As you know, the $30 plan is dead. However, many people from different forums have reported to have some success after a few attempts. This is YMMV but can save you a lot of money on phone bills.
This is only for people with SERO plan already, but would like to add another SERO plan. So say your hustband/wife has the SERO, then have your number under the same account or add another number. You can also find someone with SERO that you can trust, have him/her added your number under their plan, then proceed below.
- You: Dialing 1-800-639-6111 (or 1-888-882-4030 *less success with this one)
- CSR: How can I help you?
- You: My name is … Phone #…. etc
- CSR: Hello Mr. Hustler, how can I help you?
- You: Currently, I have the Sprint SERO $30 plan 500 minutes plan. I have another phone number (or I would like to add another number) that I want to have the exact SERO plan for $30 with 500 minutes.
- CSR: The SERO F & F 500 plan? Sure, you can have up to 10 lines.
- You: I just want another line with the exact same plan.
- CSR: I can do that right now for you.
- You: Thanks. Could you repeat my new plan again?
- CSR: ……..
Again, be polite and be persistent. You might want to call during daytime because people have reported more success than night time. They might even ask for a Sprint referral email. Google sprint email or just use this one russ.s.mcguire(at)sprint.com
If you manage to have success doing this, please comment below. Also, read my old SERO post about a few tips like $25 referral credit, $50 upromise credit, etc for new account.

Upgrade Your Sprint Phone to Touch Pro or Diamond
Many of my readers are Sero users. Man, I got a great deal for you. I just got the Touch Diamond and it is, my friend, the baddest phone I have ever had. Those who must have a keyboard, then go with the Touch Pro(left picture). Either way, I highly recommend it.
Now for the deal. If you can’t upgrade it for the full $150 discount, then use the Ebay/Live method. It was around $220 for me after everything with the Touch Diamond.
However, check to see if you qualify for an upgrade:
https://manage.sprintpcs.com/specialoffers/RebateWelcome.do?id12=UpgradeLanding_CheckUpgradeEligiblity
If you are due for an upgrade, do not go with Sprint. Stop by your local Best Buy tomorrow, and upgrade through them. Check here to see if they have it in stock.
Some Best Buys are letting customers have it before the actual release date. Many have gotten it already since yesterday. Not sure why, but there is also a 20% discount with this coupon.
Here’s the scenario:
Get the Touch diamond for $230- $46 (20%) = $184 or the Touch pro $239 /w the 20% off. Once you get the upgrade, go home and call Retention or email ecare about how you just renewed your plan and forgot to see if you also qualify for the $70 renewal credit. Keep trying until you get it. While you are at it, ask them to take off the $18 activation fee too. This would make the diamond $114 and the pro $169.
**Another $100 rebate, however highly YMMV.

This is great if you are buying an 80GB Playstaton 3. Retail price is $399, so final cost would only be $249. You must wait for your Sony card, and buy the PS 3 through SonyStyle.com This is a great deal especially is you are buying a Playstation 3 with your new Sony credit card.
Bank of America DOW 3.94% APY
The 3.94% DOW rate is dead! However, you can get the NEA 3.71% APY.
Ever since WaMu went down to 3% APY, I want to find another local bank with high interest rate. Bank of America’s Defenders of Wildlife(DOW) has a 3.94% APY rate for $5K or more. This is one of the highest rates for any bank - online or offline. Even though it’s a special account, anyone can join.
Make sure you check options 2 under Savings when signing up to get the rate. Here’s a picture

I went ahead and apply for this account today. Since I already have a checking account, there is no hard pull on my credit report. The checking is free with no direct deposit requirement. Also, free bill pay and no minimum balance requirement for checking.
The DOW Cash Maximizer savings has a $1000 funding requirement. They even let me funded with a credit card. It counts as a purchase, so I will get cash back too. Once you have your account, you must fund the account with at least $5K in order to get the special rate. If your savings is under $2500, then there is a monthly fee of $12. It wouldn’t make sense for anyone to open this account without $5K anyway.
During the application process under checking, there is a spot for promotional code. Even though it’s a longshot, I went ahead and put the $100 promo code WGSUOISI808. I wrote about that offer here for a different BOA account. It doesn’t hurt to try.
If you are interested in a short term CD, they got a 4.25% APY CD with terms of 90 to 179 days. The minimum deposit is $1,000.
And if you never done their Keep the Change program, go ahead and sign up. It was one of my earliest hustles from back in the days for free $250.
