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.

Lmao. Good idea but pumping gas in $1 intervals is hilarious.

Signed up. If it goes through I'm spending the money right away on something I wouldn't have bought otherwise. It's free so why not.

Got one more question... Let's say I open the account, deposit 25 dollars and make 10 transactions... I receive 250 dollars bonus and then transfer all funds to my main checking account on a different bank leaving my account with a $0 balance... Do I still get charged any fees by having a $0 balance??? Or I should close the account just to be on the safe side???

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

I believe so. I applied for a similar deal from BofA for a business card and checking and got hit with 2 hard pulls.

Man, I keep looking for deals like this to get an account for my kid, but he would get killed with fees from these banks. I guess I just need to find a promo from a credit union.

Quote from sccracing :
there are debit card fees at some stores such as ampm and rogers. they charge 45 cents per debit card transaction.
I assumed the OP was referencing charges from the card itself, not from merchants. The same could then be said about some gas stations that charge if you use credit/debit vs cash, for example. Also, I have no idea what rogers is, but it's probably like an Arco or something that punishes customers for using anything but cash.

Quote from Tnyc :
You do know, perhaps not, that Berkshire Hathaway invests in MANY other brands including Geico, Gillette, Apple and Coca Cola just to name a few. Buffet is perhaps the most well-known philanthropy after Bill Gates. The man is good at what he does and he gives it all away to help those who are less fortunate in society. As an investor, he doesn't run the companies that he invests in. So dont blame the crooked behavior of WF on Buffet because that would only show your ignorance.
So, he gives away a bunch of money that he steals from the middle class, mainly... Got it

Now, since you aren't ignorant, please describe how the biggest share holder of Wells (Berkshire) doesn't have a commanding voice in what Wells does...???

Do you think they just say "Go ahead, make all the decisions without us, even though we own the controlling interest in the company"...

OK
