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.

i'm so weary of scams but just curious : why must it be from this link only? If i go to the website i see nothing about this 🙄
I went to the main website yesterday and it showed as one of the rotating banner ads at the top. This way I knew I wasn't an offer just for targeted people. The banner wasn't there later tho. But it was there at first trip. Hope that helps ease your mind.

what info are you trying to enroll with? when I got the card I was able to just use my SSN and account # (card # works too), then it was just choosing a username and pw, and a confirmation email with a link to log in for the first time.

I enrolled already, but it was going to let me enroll for online banking, but I got the error message. Do I need to wait for the card to enroll ? Also, do I need to deposit another $25 after depositing $25?

ugh... i want to go for this, but there are too many posts that say a hard credit pull is involved. although, there are also many that say it's just a soft pull. i'm not a banker/finance guy, but to those in the know, are there certain individual situations that cause a hard pull with some folks, but not in others? i mean, it's a checking account.. why is a credit check even necessary?

I had the same issue--I think you might need to wait for your debit card (but I was impatient so I just called them and a lady helped me set up the account)

ONLY when you opt in for overdraft protection will there be a possible hard pull but if you opt out, it's going to be just a soft pull so make sure to OPT OUT of that offer for overdraft protection and you can be assured it's just a soft pull. They still check your CHEXSYSTEM report to determine if they'll approve the account.

After receiving my first $250 and closing of my account, would I be able to reapply with a different first name and be eligible for another $250 or no because I will still have same social security?

I'm thinking about just funding this account >$1500 to avoid the fees and keeping it.

Is there any reason to have multiple checking accounts?
