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.

it's almost like you take pride on being ultra cheap, bank gives you free money and you won't even entertain spending it via debit card, you're proud of yourself for closing the account as soon as you get yours, they'll likely never do this again with such minimal requirements, thanks Democrats.

don't forget you have to pay tax on the bonus (gotta keep the Obama bums happy)

I'm not sure what "TD" means, maybe you're just that lazy. "Go back to your wife/sister" , as opposed to what, my boyfriend?

takes a few days for bonus to process, so not really waiting for any specific reason ... just ensuring funds are available..... so no issues arise...

Also, i would just ignore the other comments .... no point in arguing with a wall ....

I currently have a wellsfargo checking account.
If I open another with the offer, would I be able to get the bonus? Has anyone tried and gotten it?

Hello, did you try getting the bonus? I too have a checking account on my own. I don't know if they'd still give the bonus though

Quote from CtK4949 :
If I open an account a long time go with my mom and she is the primary. Will I still be eligible??

Thanks!!
Hello, did you try it? Were you eligible? I have an account too.
