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.

Will there be fee(s) or interest(s) for making purchases with the debit card? TIA
This debit card fees depend on the Store. Usually they'll have a limit of $10.00 or over for No fee.

Yes this is the typical response to those that have been convicted of more than 2 felonies in the past 10 years. I recommend you wait a few more years before applying.

Can anyone confirm?

howwould I deposit $25? use a credit card?
2 options. wait for a debit card to be sent to you, or once they give you an approval letter or email go to Wells Fargo with a picture ID and tell them you want to deposit $25.00 to your checking account.

Feel free to get free money out of Wells Fargo but do NOT keep your money at that monster mega bank. They are corrupt to the core. Just google to see all of the bad things they have been caught doing since the 2008 crash. They are a terrible bank.

I don't think there will be a Credit Pull for opening a checking account. Unless you're planning on opening a Credit Card.

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?

You would be mistaken. It's a hard pull. Confirmed from having a Wells Fargo account opened last year (and closed soon after due to daily spending/withdrawal limits being on the laughable side).

Don't think it will he a hard pull because it's just a checking account.

But to confirm, for the deal this time around, does anyone know if you can close the account right away with no penalties?

When funding the checking account, anyone know if choosing credit card will count it as cash advance or purchase?
