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.

Just call them, I did that on one of my accounts and took less then 10min for them to remove it .... no issues and they didn't ask to many questions.

Wtf. I got a letter in the mail saying I didn't meet the bonus requirements. I called and they said it's because I put down I didn't receive the email that I put down that I heard about it from a friend. Right now I only have 9 posted but it hasn't been 60 days.

Edit - Now there saying that I have to make 10 posted transactions the min starting deposit of $25 and a direct deposit setup of $500?

This was harder to do than I thought. I had to try several locations (multiple vending machines, stores, etc.), but ended up having it work on a vending machine inside of a mall.

Has anyone used a temporary debit card and not received the bonus? Wondering if I should try using my new permanent card or if the lady in the office screwed up my account when I went for the temporary card.

I made 10 transactions on 27th February and yet to get 250 bonus . Waited a week after transactions and called the bank and they said I will get within 45 days . I still haven't received so far . Should I wait 45 days to call them again ? Most of us here got it after few days

I'm sure most of you know that banks don't post finalized transactions from as early as Friday morning until Tuesdays, stop acting like you didn't know that, slick dealers out of all people should know that as ocd/anal as most are

No, the transactions posted but the deposit has not posted. Are you saying that it probably won't post until later this week? Or are you a total troll?

New account opened March 11 using (other) permanent bank card to fund. Opening deposit funded 3/14. Debit card received 3/21. Did NOT need PIN to add online access (CSR did by phone). Ten small transaction (NO PIN# required) 3/21-3/22, all transactions posted by 3/24, bonus posted 3/24. Transferring balance to my regular bank today (zero fee for next day delivery). Flawless. Thanks OP.
