I use WF for my personal banking and every time I would stop by to deposit checks they would ask me “Can I ask you why you aren’t taking advantage of our rewards program?” I would continuously say ‘No, thank you.’ One time I even think that I had asked to stop being asked. Went to the drive-thru there a couple of weekes a go and they asked me again. This time, I don’t know why, I asked more about the program. She mentioned iPods, Frequent Flyer miles, blah, blah, blah…. but then she mentioned cash back. At this point I am thinking, “Hmmm, I can gain a little interest on my money just by the basic spending that I do.” Unfortunatly after she somehow convinced me and I signed up for it and drove off… I read the fine print and found out that it had to spend 5000/year to even have it pay for itself. Called up the number on the back of my card a few weeks later and fortunately they cancelled the program and assured me that I would not be charged the fee. Hopefully I won’t see a random $80 missing from my account come the end of the year. I also recognize that this is a fairly old blog post. Maybe they started losing customers because of it and that is why they let me cancel so easily (compared to let’s say trying to cancel an AOL subscription). Thanks for the blog post.

wells-fargo bought my mortgage and they’ve been a pain in the ass several times. it’s the first time i’ve done business with them but I learned very quickly that I will never willingly do business with them. they always pay my taxes and homeowners insurance late. and when they screw up, they always charge me a fee to correct it. once i asked if they would sell my mortgage to someone else - and they asked for a $325 fee to do so but couldn’t guarantee that they would after i sent them the money.

Another lousy experience with Wells Fartgo…I was once paid by check from a client who banked with Wells Fartgo. I took the check to Wells Fartgo to cash it and they wouldn’t cash their own check cause I didn’t have a bank account with them. So I had to go to my own bank and cash it. So, if I didn’t have a checking account I could have never cashed the check. Wells Fartgo wears Prada.

No wonder some people keep their money under mattresses.

I had WF for our Home Equity Line of Credit. HAD being the operative word. Run away — fast as you can.

For personal banking I’ve had American Express Bank (formerly Amex Membershp B@nking if this is he same one K is talkin bout) since about 99 or 2000. I dumped Chase because like most big banks, the fees or minimum balances are ridiculous. Amex Bank is totally on line so yea I have to mail in paper check to deposit (however I opened a local Commerce Bank account for that to avoid that wait) but otherwise Amex Bank rocks. You can use any ATM and they reimburse you the fee up to 1.50 per 4 times a month. I’ve never looked back.
