Just closed my Wells Fargo checking account. The CSR hanged up on me, which was quite surprising. I still have student loan with them which I will pay off this year or early next year. Feels good to move on especially when I was broke student they charged me $8 per month fee. Now I am making BECU and PenFed my primary checking accounts. BECU has no minimums and PenFed just wants you to keep $500.
Now how long do I have to wait to churn Wells Fargo for the checking account bonus?
I'm guessing she's going to get a whack on the hand via ruler by The WF Man for not being able to talk you into staying. This is a hoot

Churn them like they churned me. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

You have to read the T&C carefully before applying because they have different promos, but with WF it's typically 12 months after they last paid you a checking account bonus.

I banked with them for 10 years, 1999-2009 and wonder now how I put up with them so long. I'm on my 2nd bonus churn, I'll be gone in July when the current bonus hits, I'll probably be back in 12 months . . . . Vengeance is mine, sayeth Dave in AZ . . .

I never churned WF, but I did burn them... for $800. I banked with them from 1996 to 2007. I used to feel guilty about it, but after reading all the horrible things they did to consumers, I don't think twice about it.
I wish I could break away but having a bank that is a giant octopus everywhere in usa and has broker in same company...... the complacency is strong in this one. I haven't ever banked with Chase but many people I know who have both say they are the only big bank thats worse than wf.

Lol. I've banked with both and Wells Fargo wins worst bank by a landslide. Not even close. My Wells Fargo lasted about 9 months. I'm at 11 years with Chase and still using them. Best big bank I've ever used. I'm tempted to move everything back from my credit union, but I like getting paid early.
