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.

wtf 800 and you are denied a farking checking acct!
When I was in there today to get my temporary debit card they said they absolutely do not do a hard credit pull. I told him I didn't want my credit score affected. Said not to worry that the checking account had nothing to do with your credit score.

OK, got it. If one were referring to you, then it would be appropriate to use the acronym BI, since that's "bankruptcy idiot". But in the comma separated case, maybe not. Got it.

Typical millennial. All talk and no substance. I read your posting history. You've got nothing important to say.

Missed it because they wanted my zip code to call in and I didn't get around to it. Frustrating.

Sorry, anyone in my area had to call in to apply. I tried various zip codes in my town and the message to call in pops up. I'm in Oklahoma. I tried another state and didn't get the message, it would have let me apply.

I can't tell if I have an account or not, no wonder Wells Fargo is doing terribly, they withdrew my initial $25 and sent me an approval email last night. nothing today, the login doesn't recognize my DOB or SSN. completely the opposite experience I had with Chase, they not only gave me all information minutes after signing up but also sent a link for them to call me if I had any questions, also got an automated phone call and text that my bonus requirements were met. you'd think with all the trouble Wells Fargo has been in lately they'd be a little more proactive . it seems strange not knowing by actually have an account or they kind of approve me but kind of not. I actually have no Wells Fargo locations within a two-hour drive with me anyway but I didn't even realize. so if this doesn't work I don't really care I'll just stay with Chase

You have to use debit card.

Live in NYC

This was super easy -- Signed up two nights ago, got all of the set up info yesterday morning... Happened to be walking by a Wells Fargo at ~5:30pm yesterday, hours on door said open until 6pm... banker generated a temp. debit card in ~3min. Asked if he could put a note on my account saying that I would be making multiple purchases on Amazon in the next few days (as to not potentially get flagged for fraud for 10x $0.50 GC purchases), he said no problem.


Painless free money. It seems that a lot of you are making this more difficult than it actually is.

If you need a new bank account, great, keep it and keep your balance over $1500 or make 10x debit purchases per mo... if you don't, take your free money and close the account.

minimum is $1 amazon gift card, not 50 cent

How long does it take to get your $250 after signing up?

Quote from Mitch22 :
The majority owner of Wells is Berkshire Hathaway / Warren Buffett...

Have fun giving your money to those crooks... (Not like any other bank is much better, but Wells charges $2 just to check your balance at someone else's ATM)

And people wonder how Buffett is so rich... He's a thief

Why would you do that? you can check your banking on your phone.

Not everybody has their phone glued to their hand 24/7.

Nice vague non-answer.
