I opened an ING account and transferred my initial deposit to it on January 5. On January 8 and 9, I swapped $5 Person-2-Person payments back and forth three times with Benquo as we agreed, for a total of 6 transactions. It's now April 5, more than 50 days after my account opened and I completed the required transactions, and my account contains only my initial deposit and 3¢ worth of interest payments.

Did anyone else get this money? Did I miss an obvious step?

I contacted customer service. They responded almost immediately once I finally got around to doing so, and credited my account manually.

Hmm... I'm experiencing the same thing. I think it's about time I wrote them an email.

Strange, since they did honor two other unrelated offers in the past.
