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.

got $250 last month. you can apply online, and go to branch to get done right there, so you don't have to wait the letter / mail to confirm you ID and signature. it takes forever dealing mails with wells Fargo. about 10 times trsation, just go to Amazon, reload 0.5 USD for 10 times. spend 5 USD and 5 minute s . 7days later you will get the $250. and you don't have to pay my fee too cancel your checking account if you don't want it no more after you got your $250. btw, I guess you need pay tax for that too. so get ready for your 1099 form or whatever on Jan 2018. good luck.

i'm curious what a CSR card is and if i should be avoiding new accounts so i can qualify for this CSR as well

Quote from sccracing :
there are debit card fees at some stores such as ampm and rogers. they charge 45 cents per debit card transaction.
what about 10 x $1 giftcards at amazon

Does this do any type of credit pull, hard or soft(no innuendo jokes)? I'm thinking no since it's a checking account, but just want to make sure.

Also, can you just close the account after you get the bonus, with no penalty?

typically it has to be open for 6 months or there is a fee

Quote from hyyun1 :
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
Can those 10 purchases be made at the same time??? Other than that, I am not keeping this account... Too much hustle to avoid $10 monthly fee.

Yes this is the typical response to those that have been convicted of more than 2 felonies in the past 10 years. I recommend you wait a few more years before applying.

That's a joke right?
