The following info about a $50 bonus for ING Direct Electric Orange checking account was reported in The Sun's Financial Diary:

The online bank is running a $50 promotion for its Electric Orange Checking Account. If you open a new checking account before May 31 and use its debit card to make three purchases within the first 45 days, the bank will you deposit $50 in your account. Sounds pretty sweet, right?

Electric Orange is ING’s paperless, interest-bearing checking account (check out my Electric Orange review for features of the account). However, the current yield of 0.25% APY for balance up to $50,000 offers nothing to be excited about. If you are interested in getting the bonus, follow these steps to open an account:

Use reference code EM262 to open your Electric Orange Account
Activate your Electric Orange MasterCard Debit Card
Use your Electric Orange Card to make at least 3 signature-based purchases in the first 45 days after your account has been opened
Your $50 bonus will be automatically deposited into your Electric Orange 50 days after your account has been opened

Not the hottest deal but nice if you only have a savings account with ING. A signature based transaction is any transaction that does not require the PIN.

"Open your account by May 31, 2009 and use your Debit MasterCard® to make 3 signature-based transactions within the first 45 days. On day 50, we'll put $50 in your account. Visit ingdirect.com/electric50 to learn more. Don't forget to enter Reference Code EM258 to be eligible for the $50." you'll need to use the link to use EM258. You may need to have an existing account.
