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.

Quote from kdeandrea80 :
Check your facts. He's a total fraud. He is smart enough to have figured out how to get rich off the poor while he claims to be helping them. Don't get me wrong, I hate Trump too. Buffet owns this 'modest house' and old Cadillac but never uses either. He spends all his time in high end hotels on his companies dime....
He is giving away most of his wealth to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He doesn't own a fancy house, and car compared to other executives. I'd say he does more than most ultra rich people, let alone one of the richest.

Also, he doesn't sell you any fraudulent Buffet get rich schemes unlike Trump and his ilk.

its a soft pull. if you sign up for overdraft protection then it will be a hard pull like with capital one.
This is the correct answer. Always at least a soft pull when you open a bank account, always a hard pull for overdraft protection.

"A recipient of a consumer checking bonus in the past 12 months (limit one bonus per customer)"

I joined Chase some 9 months ago and got a checking bonus there. Does the above statement mean that I am not eligible for this offer?

Thanks for the help!

Please read the wiki, I put info into it from my earlier post: https://slickdeals.net/f/9850152-3-8-new-wells-fargo-new-checking-customers-deposit-25-get-250?p=97433544#post97433544

I explicitly answered every commonly asked question, including the fact that you do not have to sign and return anything.

Yes, you can deposit $2500 and still get $250. Idiot thinking to get $25000 to buy a new car.

Wells Fargo and Chase are unrelated, and they have no way of knowing if you took advantage of any of the other bank's promos.

Side note I already did this deal I got the money and closed the account.
I literally went to a dollar store and told the cashier what I was doing and how they can get this deal to and we did 10 transactions for 10, 1 dollar items. To not be rude I move out of the line any time a new customer showed up to check out. I got the money like a week later.

Its also worth noting they did not send me a debit card so I went to a branch to have them give me a temp one. I think it it due to me having an account in the past and I think that card becomes reactivated. If you don't get your card in the mail after a week or 2 go ask for a temp. Do not read to much into this just out the 25 dollars in and go spend 10 dollars at the dollars store(1x10 transactions) get the money wired to another bank and then phone call to close the account after transfer.

I had a previous WF checking account & debit card, and they still sent me a debit card after I made my initial funding deposit.
