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.

You'll open one account, and then end up with 6 in your name. Stay away from Wells Fargo

Nobody here listens. Most are slaves to the almighty dollar and will sell their souls along with their first born child in order to save a buck. These Wells Fargo threads are always really long.

Does not say that anywhere.

FYI I live in CA and have had a moving violation in the last 5 years and was able to get the bonus last time around.

It was a joke

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?

Yes, a soft pull. I'm a banker of 12 years with another institution and this is something even most branch bankers don't know (because it's not discussed in training). Being a soft pull, it's not likely to affect your credit score much if at all...but yes, soft pull.

Holy cow! A company like Sony gets bashed for being "too cocky" and charging too much and Wells Fargo gets away with opening accounts on old people and immigrants without any permission and you guys are ok with it?
I thought people hated corrupt banks. I'll never bank with Wells Fargo and hope they go away for good.

Do i have to wait for the debit card to start making purchases?

No. But to make purchases with the debit card you may need the debit card. HTH!

You can reach the 10 purchase requirement by buying 10 $5 Amazon gift cards thru Samsung Pay...

Any ideas on the easiest ways to make the 10 transaction per month to avoid monthly fees? I dont really feel like going to Walmart and buying 10 packs of gum all separate transaction..online transaction preferably is allowed...
Would paying 10 small amounts on tmobile account count toward requirement?
Looking for easy ways without buying junk...
