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.

So that's what "coming into money" actually means.

Girlfriend and I just opened two separate accounts. Hopefully using the same address doesn't disqualify one of us.

This comes in handy as I burn through checking accounts faster than my underwear. This gives me a break from creating new green dot accounts. Thanks!

its a soft pull. if you sign up for overdraft protection then it will be a hard pull like with capital one.
I didn't know that there is a hard pull if there is overdraft protection though there is a debit card overdraft service when I signed up. Is that the same or is it different.

The majority owner of Wells is Berkshire Hathaway / Warren Buffett...

Have fun giving your money to those crooks... (Not like any other bank is much better, but Wells charges $2 just to check your balance at someone else's ATM)

And people wonder how Buffett is so rich... He's a thief

Same address should not be a concern. Both can have separate accounts.

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).
Okay that's weird. When I opened my checking account at Wells Fargo few years back, I didn't see the Hard Pull from my account on Credit Karma.

Ok so let me get this right.
Open the account.
Make 10 amazon 50 cent purchases.
Wait 45 days to get 250.
And then close the account right away.
Is this right?

Thank You

overdraft protection is a hard pull for capital one. not sure if it is the same for wells fargo. im thinking it will just be a soft pull on ChexSystems.
