On its Black Friday promotions page, ING Direct states:
Due to popular demand, we’ve extended the Black Friday Sale!
Refer to my ING Direct Black Friday review post for more details of the promotion. As I mentioned in that post, the best deal is the $121 bonus for opening the Electric Orange checking account (it also requires making 3 signature-based debit card purchases). The other special, the 2% APY 12-month CD, is not too exciting, but I’m afraid it is competitive in today’s low rate environment.
I guess ING Direct didn’t attract as many new customers and deposits as they were expecting. Perhaps too many people yesterday were shopping rather than looking for bank deals. If the CD rate were a little higher, they could have pulled in more deposits.
Thanks to the commenter who noted this extension.
