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.

Initial depot by credit card is considered cash advance or purchase?
Could someone confirm?
Or it is different by credit card issuer?

I was conditionally accepted last night, just got 3 emails.

1. Access your Wells Fargo account documents
2. Welcome to Wells Fargo (talked about the deposit and if I had already done that or not "we need your initial deposit to finalize the opening of your new accounts")
3. Welcome to Wells Fargo Online (instructions on setting the account up)

Catch is I don't have my account number yet Frown Assuming it's because the initial deposit is still processing and I won't get the account number to be able to login online until this processes.

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.
The reason why people are asking questions is because you were conditionally approve.
There are others, like me, who received the following:

My credit card funding attempt didn't go through at all. I had to go into the branch in person to make a cash deposit.

Correct. Patience, padawan. You won't be able to login until you get your debit card and PIN.

If you're on a currently open Wells Fargo account, you're probably not going to be able to qualify for this deal.

I received the exact same wording in my email, and so did other people who did not receive the conditionally approved response. This is a generic email template that is sent to every applicant. You can ignore it.

Quote from AndrewG8296 :
Do you rotate through different bank offers, cancelling after get bonuses?
yes, we apply for all bonuses that is valid in our state. I take note of fees schedule to make sure we don't get hit with fees for early closure of account and subsequent clawback of bonus. If there's a limit of one per household, we alternate and do one per year for that bank.
