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
No fee/interest for me, I made over 10 grocery store purchases and my bank balance was over $2,500.

$1500 daily balance will be tough for new college graduates

Except me I graduated with an accounting degree

You could just fund your Amazon 50c 10x every month and avoid the fee.

Or if you're just churning I did the previous $250 offer last January and WF posted the bonus 2 days after my 10 50c Amazon reloads and closed my checking via secured message. Easy money.

What are you saying? Make 10 purchases a month will waive the monthly fees?

I did this during the last promotion period. I deposited $25 and used the debit card for only coffee. After ten purchases I found $250 in my account the next day. I then transferred it all to my main bank account.

I didn't get any fees and I live in NY btw.

10 monthly debit transaction waives the $10 monthly fee. This includes Amazon reloads.

Quote from Mitch22 :
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

People deserve to be charged an idiot tax if they are too stupid to download the app that tells them their balance for free or dial the 800 number
