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.

Quote from generaltso :
I travel a lot so I am looking for banks that have a lot of ATM's throughout the country. Right now I have chase but am thinking of adding a checking account. For those of you who have wells fargo how have you found the atm accessibility?
Dont go with any major banks, just open account with Charles schwab and signup a checking account with them, they reimburse all atm fee, in USA and outside of USA without foreign transaction fee.

I assume the bonus becomes taxable???

I wouldn't think so. radio stations don't have to send you a 1099 unless you win over $600 same thing with sweepstakes. this is a little different but sounds like it would fall under the same rules.
