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 had pending approval but my application said promo was applied. I just got an email that I need to go to branch to complete my application. You think I'll see get the bonus if I go? I must have answered the questions not entirely correct....

If you have the time, I would go down there to confirm everything is okay. That way you have some piece of mind.

Opened account on Mar 8 and it was conditionally approved. Later in the day, it was approved and received welcome emails. Went into the branch Mar 10 to get a temp debit card and did 10 $.50 Amazon reload GC transactions on that same day. Transactions posted on Monday, Mar 13 and today on Mar 15, I received the $250 bonus! Thanks OP!

Not a good start for me and this bank. Successfully opened this account on March 9th. Funds withdrawn from my financial institution (via ACH) on March 13th.
As of today (March 15th) funds still not posted to the Wells Fargo checking account.

from experience ACH transfers take a lot longer than a debit transaction.

did you do all 10 with Amazon?
