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.

To receive your $250 welcome bonus, open an Everyday Checking account ONLINE FROM THIS WEBPAGE ONLY by March 24, 2017, and complete a few steps:

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.

Wells Fargo. How would they know about any bonuses you might have gotten from any other bank? That doesn't even make sense.
It didn't specify.

I don't know how (database?), but I'd rather ask.
Thanks for the info.

Signed up today through the link. I had some trouble getting enrolled in online banking but a quick call and they straightened everything out. Once the login was fixed.. I logged in and chose my username and pw. After that I agreed to all the legal stuff and also saw where my account has the $250 promotion attached to it. We will see how it goes.

where did you see where the $250 was attached to your account?

don't worry about it, you can do all your transactions online, including transfer money to and from the account via ACH transfer.

normally these have more stipulations, like if you close your account they take back the bonus ect. this one doesn't seem to have many.

Awesome thanks OP. I have WF mortgage, FICO 850, but no other WF bank accounts until now. Correctly answered three security questions. Instant approval and approval email. NOTE: I AM SEEING WHAT LOOKS LIKE AT LEAST TEMPORARY HARD CREDIT PULL on Equifax. Application approval says "Status: Your application has been approved, and your new account is eligible to receive a bonus offer. For more details, see the Bonus Offer Disclosure and Additional Requirements." New account # already generated , "your bonus offer code has been linked to this application" printed at top of approval page underneath confirmation #, account # and "approval". Email has full $250 bonus criteria. Took screen shots of both offer and application approval. Opening deposit charged, instantly showed up as debit on Chase card, with specific description as "POS WFB Opening Deposit" US - Concord CA" As wiki noted, it also said I'd receive confirmation paperwork blah blah but also said I'd be receiving ATM card and PIN in 3-5 days. As for the 1099 they'll generate, if you have any reasonable level of itemized deductions (mortgage interest alone will offset the $250) no concern there. The bonus offer details were included in my approval Bonus Offer Disclosure and Additional Requirements

Quote from sdtwo :
I signed up online and received an E-mail the next day stating "At this time, we are unable to complete your application and must refer you to your nearest Wells Fargo branch to open the account."

So I went into a branch and was able to open the account, get a debit card, and deposit my $25. I didn't even think to ask when I was in the branch if I would still qualify for the $250. I called Wells Fargo and they said I should still be on track for the $250 and to call them if I don't receive it within the allotted time period after I completed my ten transactions. We'll see.
Of course you were able to open an account at the branch. That's what they're there for. But if you didn't have the promo offer attached to your application, then you won't receive the $250 bonus, no matter what the bankers promised you.

Or haven't you been following Wells Fargo news lately?
