They say I need to wait 10 days before I can close the account, because if there are problems with the transfer the $$$ can still be pulled. I'm not sure if I believe that, since my bank has already reported the transfer.

Anyhoo, I'm trying to pull it as quickly as I can so I don't have to incur the $7.50 fee for the month.

opened on 12/28, but my fund came at 01/02, and got my $100 at 01/03, plan to close 10 days later, since they wave the month fee only you have at least $2500 at checking account with 3.25% APR.

I would be very weary of forking my money over to these guys, if at all possible. WingSpan has had an illustrious history of screwing over customers. From http://www.fuckedcompany.com:


<< Online bank WingspanBank.com, mailed a letter to current customers announcing a number of &quot;pricing improvements&quot;, including a higher balance requirement, higher service fees, new charges for online bill payment, lower rebates, and longer hold times on deposits. Keep those improvements coming! >>


More horror stories can be had here.

jtdrix - Thanks for the info, I had no idea that WingspanBank is having troubles. Then again name a dot-com that isn't doing a nose dive. Fortunately I think most the people here who opened a WingspanBank account don't intend on keeping their account open for more than the minimum 10 days.

I mailed a $100 personal check made payable to myself to fund the account, therefore eliminating the 10 day waiting period.

Wingspan has had major problems ever since its creation, and Bank One has lost $250 million on the operation. So I suggest you close your account as soon as you qualify for the $100 bonus.
