I'm not taking shots here but is there somewhere I can go on Emigrant site that lists SavingAdvice.com as an affiliate?
I'd feel better about that.

You should not have received an email purporting to come from us about this unless it was part of our newsletter. We only advertise this in our newsletters (freebies, The Saving Advisor and Daily Financial Challenge) which you chose to sign up for when joining the forums. If it came from any place else, it was not from us and you should not apply.
This is an "unofficial bonus" - the bonus is coming directly from us, not Emigrant. We are a member of their affilaite program. They pay us $20 for each person that signs up through the affiliate link we have with then above. We then turn around and give the money back to you - either $10 through paypal or $20 through ING referrals. This way we make money and you make money and we get many more sign ups than if we advertised without the bonus give back.
If you have any qualms about this, do not sign up through us and do it directly through their homepage (you'll get an account, but no bonus for opening).
