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.

I think I see the confusion. If you use a credit monitoring service like Equifax with unlimited credit report access, the WF inquiry WILL show as a hard inquiry for 24-48 hours, so if you pull a report right after your WF inquiry occurs it will look like a hard pull. According to Equifax the inquiry status will be clarified & updated within 48 hours. I did another credit report today and it looks like the WF inquiry was re-clarified to soft.
Nice vague non-answer.
All these questions here can be answered by talking to someone at well fargo. But it's too much work to pull out your phone and make call lol.
edit: According to Wells Fargo 1800 number, it is not possible to use an instant issue debit card until your actual card arrives. Something about the new system will not let them. Apparently this is incorrect because people in this thread have done it. In any case, I will just wait until the actual card arrives.
Talked to the Wells Fargo rep and they said "this is a online offer that pops up at random"
Total BS

I got a temp debit card from my branch this morning and successfully did 10 $.50-$.55 reloading GC transactions a few hours ago. I read somewhere in the thread Amazon will only accept the temp card under certain conditions
I've never had Wells Fargo, but I called them a little while ago to make sure my account was set up, she got me enrolled in online banking and I asked her about what forms I have to return and she didn't know what I was talking about, but my account seems to be active so I'm not going to worry about it, incidentally, there are no Wells Fargo's within 90 miles of me which when signing up I was unaware of. kind of wishing I'd have left it alone as Chase had been outstanding with their customer service and multiple branches around me. oh well afaik there are no minimums or fees with this Wells Fargo account so I'll just relax.
