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.

Good deal, just go to the gas pump and start/stop it with the card 10 times. DONE!
Unfortunately that would probably throw a fraud flag on their in. WF is extremely finicky with their cards and fraud. I've had my card locked from just mistyping the zip code at the pump.

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
You really think major stock traders have any interest in running the companies they invest in? Or even having a say in management? That takes way too much time and effort in understanding the core businesses and why would a trader invest all of that energy into learning about a company he may dump in 6 months for another?

wife and I are going to do this tomorrow. hopefully we can get for the kids too (14 and 11). an extra 1,000 is always nice.


correction, need a valid id, which my kids don't have.

$500 is still cool
My kids have passports, so I wonder if it would work for them.

Anyone who has done it let us know

You're on the wrong site if you don't want $250 for an hour of "work".

I am in MA. I kept getting the unable to help screen. Put in a zip from San Francisco 94016 for example, then you put in your actual address in the application. I live in MA, and was just approved - 9-Mar, 9am EST.

For many of us, this "deal" requires too much effort.

As others have warned already, I was "conditionally approved." I received an email with a tedious list of further requirements.

Not worth the hassle, in my opinion.

anyone know if the extra $10 bonus when making a purchase via mobile app is still available?

"You can get extra $10 for using their mobile app to make a purchase. A tap on vending machine counts. But remember to use wells fargo's official mobile app (not android pay, apple pay or samsung pay) on a nfc enabled phone."
