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.

Does this do any type of credit pull, hard or soft(no innuendo jokes)? I'm thinking no since it's a checking account, but just want to make sure.

Also, can you just close the account after you get the bonus, with no penalty?

I'm surprised this doesn't have more up votes for being four hours old.

Is there some hidden gotcha I'm missing?

Joining up with wf now will probably be the safest time after getting caught in their account churning shenanigans. Give them five years and they will find some new way to scam customers to create fresh employee bonus qualification tiers.

I'm a little weary since my wife never even received her debit card when she did the last promo. It's too bad they don't offer the DD option for get the bonus this time around.

i assume the "debit" card doesn't show up as a credit card in your credit? I don't want it to count towards the number of credit cards I've applied because of the chase rule.

Yes. I just completed the form, it allows you to make deposit from your bank or a credit card (I believe max deposit from credit card is $50).

I don't see it in their terms... does the account have to be open for a certain length of time after receiving the $250 or can it be closed immediately after?
