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 see some have found innovative ways to make the debit transactions...

I don't understand how people can't otherwise find a way to make ten purchases. less than $25 without making micro transactions with Amazon??Confused

Do people understand that the bank gets money every time you make a debit card purchase?

FFS they're giving you a free $250. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Not slot of sympathy for a billionaire bank that is well known for shady and illegal business activities.

Did anyone who didn't get approved have any luck bothering to call, or even find out why?

I got approved, wife didn't. She even has a higher credit score then I do.

They sent my account number and debit card, but when I try to sign up for an account it accepts my SS# and account number but then asks for my debit and pin, it won't let me go any further without the pin
I went ahead and called, they said they would send one out but it will be a week before it arrives.

If I open an account tomorrow, will I be able to do this offer?

I heard some people it takes a long time to get the mail or something, and apparently you need that before the 24th of March?

I received my debit card in the mail and activated it, still waiting on my PIN to arrive. Has anyone been successful with doing the Amazon transactions before the PIN arriving?

I called the number in the email and had CS help me set my online account up bc I don't have my pin, which he said it should arrive next day or two (got my card Monday).

He gave me a temp username and password and once I put all of that in I was prompted to reset the password. I did all of this with CS on the phone. Very easy.

But to answer the question, yes. I ran the debit as credit at Whole Foods yesterday, used it online for a small purchase, then 8 Amazon GC reloads to get to 10. All are showing as pending on my account
