  • ING will NOT match competitors

    I talked to ING also and they said they can't predict the future. They said that they dont compete with anyone else. They go at their own pace. So dont look for them matching HSBC or Emigrant. I told him that i have alot of money in this ING account and ill probably transfer it into Emigrant, and he replied saying that would be a good idea because you want to get the most out of your money.

          One thing I am really upset about with Emigrant....they have a credit card and they advertised it as if they were paying 1.4 % back on purchases. I have a Discover card and another card that pays me back a certain % when I use them. So, I decided to get a card from Emigrant (Juniper bank) and guess what ....Now I learn that you have to have $10,000 as a balance to get 1.4% back on your purchases. If you pay off your balance every month you will get 0.4%...that is baloney.....

              Read this carefully, I think you need a $10,000 balance in your SAVINGS account with them not a $10,000 balance on the card. That would be stupid you would pay more interest than the reward.

                Believe it or not... I concede .....I can no longer endorse ING!

                I still hate Emigrant - but its hard to argue with their rate.
                I estimate in one year we would take in an extra $500 in interest *over* what ING would give us!

                  Suze Orman is the reason we went with Emigrant SuzeOFan!

                  I love your avatar also with the shaking foot! Believe it or not my mom used to shake that same foot which led to my me shaking the same foot too! In fact my 91 year old aunt shakes her foot also. LOL

                    I just get a kick out of the fact that the rep said that would be a good idea. Man, they must be sitting on plenty of deposits

                      LOL! I am my avatar! I do that all the time! I read somewhere that people who foot tap or swing their legs like that tend to be slimmer than people who just sit. And your 91 year old aunt is proof that it also makes you live longer!

                      Hmmm... maybe we're onto somethin?

                        My aunt is slimmer and she attributes it to shaking that foot!!! Me? It's a nervous habit. I'm not fat or overweight, but I could stand to lose a few pounds. Perhaps I should shake both feet in unison. Then I wouldn't be able to cross my legs. Hee haw LOL.

                              Did you read it carefully? I did and I read it the way I posted. Now, if you think about it, they want to pay you more because they earn fees from you....is my way thinking correct? Feel free to correct me but I think I am correct in this one...Anyway, if what you are saying is correct, I am probably getting 1.4%..I will post after I see my statement....
