This is one of the many reasons that Wells Fargo sucks...you are just a number to them and they will never help you out with even the little things such as temporary debit card limit increases. A $300 daily limit is typical with Wells Fargo but not with the rest of the banking industry. A typical bank has a limit of a little over $500 (all 3 of my banks are $505 to allow for ATM fees). I never pay a fee when using my card unless the individual ATM charges a fee. This only happens while traveling as all ATMs around me are free as all of the smaller banks in my area partnered to create a "privleged status" network of ATMs that have no fee. So now only Wells Fargo and US Bank customers have to drive across town to avoid ATM surcharges.
I would 2nd the idea of getting a new bank. I don't understand why anyone would use Wells Fargo! I do really like US Bank but I don't bank with them...they even offer a lot of their services for free to non-customers!
