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.

Today I received the $250 deposit, I drove to the bank and went through the teller to withdraw my $269.50 with no problems. I just sent the email to them to cancel the account, and once I see that was complete I will call to verify. All in all it took almost 3 weeks, and maybe 30 minutes of my time for $250. I am pretty happy with that.
This is payment back to me for the year I spent hassling with them on the phone month after month trying to pay a personal loan. Wells Fargo was the biggest pain in my ass back then, so this felt great to do. In all fairness, this whole process of getting the 250 was actually very pleasant. The two people I have dealt with were very friendly, and everything was very simple.
Now. Log in and go to nessaging, email them and they will close it today.

Yes you need to. I withdrew the money from mine and emailed them to cancel the same day. They say it takes 4 business days to cancel in my case because the promotional 250 was still pending. Even though I withdrew that 250 while it was pending.
Yes, I linked my primary Chase checking, transferred everything over, waited 2 days for it to post, then closed the accounts for both my wife and I.

How many days between 10 uses and the 250?
