I called Wells Fargo to confirm the deal. My wife was envious when I got a fat check from the previous deal.
I showed my sympathy by calling to confirm the deal is still around. They renewaled it.

No reason to get stuck with some eco-box. Do it right at a $25000 deposit for a $250k car. Cool
Well, when the pulling starts it is usually soft, and then it gradually gets hard as the pulling continues. Then once you have "credited" all over it gets soft again and that is when the pulling stops.
Can confirm that's the deal breaker for you.

You don't pay fees or interest for using a debit/check card. The charges are taken out of your available funds from your checking account.

When? They provide $250 after 60 days if I understood correctly.

Also, all the "new car" dreamers, it's fairly clearly stated that they wouldn't give you $250 if you received $250 in the last 12 months. So, you'll get that Corolla after 10 years if you play your cards right. By then, it'll be made in Mexico and cost $77,000. So, I take it back, you will not get that Corolla.

No fees. I got the bonus last time and had purchased stuff using the debit card.
