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.

do you have to go to a local branch to close an account, or can the account be closed by phone?

There is treasure trove of information that was discussed in the January Wells Fargo thread. You all should read that thread.

Can I and my wife apply separately and both get 250 ? Wonder if they check one per address
Yes both you and your wife can apply separately. Same address does not matter.

The hard pull for credit score is the deal breaker for me.
Can anyone confirm?

No hard pull. I did this last time me and nothing showed up on my credit report.

Any penalty from closing your account after you receive the bonus?

Got the bonus for myself. My wife was rejected on two separate tries about a month apart. Don't know why...
