How to take Courtney Tuttle’s money
I just found this blog by Courtney Tuttle where there is an interesting link promotion going on. Tuttle has offered to give one good guesser whatever money his blog earns during this month for playing a little guessing game (and giving Tuttle some incoming links). You get a chance to make some money online by guessing how much money Tuttle’s blog will make this month.
Here are my guesses:
Here are the rules:

I am a money dummy!
I am about to reveal something that I just feel really silly about. I have just read all the posts about ING offering 1% cash back when you use your Electric Orange MasterCard for qualified purchases duing June 1st to July 31st. I think this is a great idea and I am going to use it to pay the phone bill and the insurance on the car.
Now for the Big Reveal: I had never thought of doing this before. What?

ING makes customers mad!
I wrote the previous post thinking that I was the only one who had this little problem with ING. Then I found this post on Consumerism Commentary where it seems that ING closed 5300 accounts in error. Ouch!
Now after I read ALL the comments on this post I can see why people would be upset. Although we all received the same letter all of the situations were not the same. My credit score was not bad, in fact since I have been requesting it and my credit reports my score has been going up. I have never used the Electric Orange line of credit/overdraft line. I have never written a bad check and I have never had to go into overdraft on any other account that I have with any institution.

My latest experience with Electric Orange
A few days ago I got an email from ING saying that my Electric Orange account was going to be closed while my Orange Savings account remained open. The email was very cryptic and all it stated was that the account was going to be discontinued in 30 days because of information contained on my credit report. What?
The first step in closing the account would be to cancel my overdraft line of credit with the account because the overdraft was only extended to open accounts. I logged in to my account because I was SURE that there was a mistake…..but lo and behold the overdraft was gone. Now I never use the overdraft but it was nice to know that it was there.
