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.

Considering they were opening fake accounts, are helping fund a pipeline that is controversial, and a few years ago went after parents of a student that defaulted on her student loan BECAUSE SHE HAD DIED, I don't care to do business with such an immoral company. Those of you jumping on this, remember the next time you wonder why our society is in seeming decay. I'm fine with whatever replies I get. If we can't hold companies accountable then we deserve the society we're in. If you're fine with that, then don't let my little rant persuade you otherwise.

Take their 250 and run, as I did last month. If you're anti Wells Fargo then this deal should be all the more reason to proceed with the offer.

I missed the previous offer that ended a few days ago. I think it was the same $250 bonus. if I am reading it correct, I will keep $1500 for a few months to avoid any fees. Do not want to deal with 10 debit card transactions.

these new checking account promos seem to come by often. since there's no credit check, could you hypothetically just open/close these accounts and collect on the bonuses? i don't know what other bank's restrictions are, but i'm surprised well's fargo allows you to qualify again just after a year.

I'm surprised this doesn't have more up votes for being four hours old.

Is there some hidden gotcha I'm missing?

Joining up with wf now will probably be the safest time after getting caught in their account churning shenanigans. Give them five years and they will find some new way to scam customers to create fresh employee bonus qualification tiers.

WF is a disaster
