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.

Are you guys getting instant approval? At the end of my application, I got notified that I'll be getting an information packet with an application I have to sign and return before I get approved. I just called in and was told that's standard but seems strange to me.

I signed up for WF for a promotion in the past and canceled after so many months, but that was more than 5 years ago. Wondering if that's playing into this application result.

I tried this last time but I didn't get approved

"At this time, we are unable to complete your application and must refer you to your nearest Wells Fargo branch to open the accoun"

I don't think the bonus will work if I try to go into the branch. I dont know if I should try again

I'm surprised this doesn't have more up votes for being four hours old.
Not that compelling for all the conditions and the fact that the bonus is taxable.

But, go for it. It's still free money.

Got this two months ago. Deposited from my Chase account and got my debit card in a week. Made 10 small debit purchases equaling about $12 and received the promo $ a week after that. Good stuff 😎
