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.

Will there be fee(s) or interest(s) for making purchases with the debit card? TIA

Debit card is fee free unless you overdraft.

Quote from mmojarrad :

Goes by social security number.

Quote from wad2k6 :
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...

Online transactions count as long as you use your debit card numbers. ATM transactions do not count towards 10 transactions. Setup direct deposit or keep $1500 in the account will keep it free as well.

I'll wait this one out. Why go through the trouble when they'll open one for me without my consent anyway?

Thanks. I figured it wouldn't fly. Oh well, waiting on Santander bonus right now. Then I need to find the next bonus opportunity.
My company payroll must be getting fed up with me changing my DD all the time, lol.

No hard pull. I did this last time me and nothing showed up on my credit report.
Quote from donutpirate :
You would be mistaken. It's a hard pull. Confirmed from having a Wells Fargo account opened last year (and closed soon after due to daily spending/withdrawal limits being on the laughable side).

And now i'm really confused.
I'll probably have to call them to confirm.

I don't have any wells fargo bank or ATM within 100 miles radius. Is there any way I can deposit money through bank to bank?
Also how would they issue a refund when you close the account through secure message?

Thanks in Advance.

Guess they can't open checking accounts with us not knowing anymore.

One of the most shady banks in the world. Then they try to lure us back in with this. Shady, shady, shady!

Went through the app and got to the verification question. It asked me the age of my father's 4th ex wife (he's on 6 now). I had no idea so I skipped hoping they'd ask something else. Nope. The app is conditionally approved and I have to wait for a paper ageeement to sign and mail back.

Any idea if it will be approved even though I skipped the question?
