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.

Does anyone know if it's possible to close your account online? I'm assuming part of the getcha here is that you'll have to visit a branch to actually close out the account.

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.

You'll get a 1099-INT since the bonus is considered interest

I just signed up online and was instantly approved. I haven't had a WF account in over 15 years. I withdrew all my meager funds the day a branch manager yelled at me on the phone for asking a question. Time to get a little payback.

Email I just got says 5-7 days. But if you need it sooner you can go in any branch and get a temporary card.

I can simply make 10x 1$ purchases a month and not have to pay the 10$ fee? Just 10 purchases and no minimum total/month in $ right?

10 initially to get the $250 bonus. If you keep the account open you'll need to meet one of several requirements to not get hit with fees. One of which is 10 debit card transactions per month.

You don't pay fees or interest for using a debit/check card. The charges are taken out of your available funds from your checking account.

Read this link for more information about debit and credit cards and how they work. [investopedia.com]

there are debit card fees at some stores such as ampm and rogers. they charge 45 cents per debit card transaction.

I closed it using secure message a week ago, no visit to branch required.

So I did the first round of this promo in Jan. Bonus was deposited within days of the 10 debit card charges I made. My girlfriend signed up for today's promo. Whats the ETA on the bonus payout? Still a few days after the debit charges are made?
