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.

Opened account. Got the debit card 5 days later. Bought 10 x $1 Amazon gift cards. The $250 was in my account 3 days later. Went down to the local branch to cancel the account today. No fees. No issues. The lady helping me even kinda laughed about the whole thing. I thanked her for the free money. Walked out $250 richer.

Do they give you a bonus for every extra account they open in your name as well?

Never mind... Gotta close account... Transferring money to another bank and leaving account with $0 balance, Wells Fargo still will charge you monthly fees and your account will go into a negative balance.

this might be helpfull for some -from the guy who got 2 x $250 for 2 person ( same household)
1) when you submit application & get approval message, it has your acct #. screenshot the entire page.
2) call their customer service, ask for help to sign up online. they give you temp login info and set it up right a way - 5 min thing.
3) initial deposit made during application taking forever to deposit ( I m sure their system is overloaded). so I made another transfer once my Id was set up by pay $3 fee from bank of America - took 3 days to show up
4) once you see some money in your account, then call customer service to order a debit card ( they won't ship card unless you have some money in account). I m sure you can do this by going to branch n getting temp card or whatever... I was too lazy to go to branch & it's like 15 miles drive
5) after u get debit card (took me 3 days but the 2nd one took about a week - again could be just too many orders), make 10 transactions....takes a day or 2 to get posted.
6) after 2 days of posted transactions, you get your $250.
7)take money and run if you like but don't forget to send secure message to cancel the account
fyi-
I have closed both account and burn their card already, still hasn't show up in my ck report yet !! good luck

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
It depends on what type of stocks, voting or non-voting stocks. If he owns non-voting stocks then he doesn't have a say in running the firm. Also, he only owns 10% of WF stocks even though he's the largest share holder. He stills cannot out vote the other larger percentage of ownership if they all decided to vote one way that is different than his.

I did this last time and had to go in to get my temporary debit card, but it all worked out and I got my $250.

I just had a friend sign up with this offer, and he has to wait for a packet to come in the mail?? Did anyone else get this??

I'm also waiting on the packet to come on the mail. Is there anyway to expedite this?

There is no way he isn't a voter, and yeah, technically the other major players could out vote him... Now, what's a Billionaire narcissist to do in said situation when he doesn't like how the other kids are playing???

Sell it all and tell his buddies to short it...
