Here's how to qualify for your bonus:
  • Open an Everyday Checking account online (from this webpage only) by July 26, 2019.
  • Make a minimum opening deposit of $25 to fund your account.
  • Set up direct deposit and receive a cumulative monthly total of $3,000 in qualifying direct deposits into your new account for 3 consecutive months.
Your $400 bonus will be deposited into your new Everyday Checking account within 45 days after eligibility and bonus requirements have been met.

  • Account alerts. Stay on top of your account activity with alerts that allow you to track your account balances, debit card transactions, and more.3
  • Overdraft Rewind®. Sign up for direct deposit to take advantage of Overdraft Rewind. When an ACH direct deposit is received by 9:00 am, the bank will automatically reevaluate transactions from the previous day and, if your direct deposit covers them, may reverse overdraft or returned item (Non-Sufficient Funds/NSF) decisions and waive associated fees.4

Don't mind a bank giving me free money for minimal work. I did it back in 2017 with them and the whole process including closing the account was a breeze.

"Set up direct deposit and receive a cumulative monthly total of $3,000 in qualifying direct deposits into your new account for 3 consecutive months."
Does it mean total 3000$ in three months, or 3000$/month (with end up 9000$ in three months)?

Who the hell shills for a bank?
How does anyone have anything positive to say about a despicable bank like Wells Fargo? There are so many options out there other than these crooks. But hey $400 is $400

Wells Fargo has become synonymous with corruption, malfeasance, and ethical rot. They are a criminal enterprise doing business as a bank. Approach this institution at your own peril.

There are two responses to banks/bank deals I've never understood:

1) This bank is the worst, they're crooks, I'd never want anything to do with them!!

Um, so open the account, take the money, and leave. You're literally taking money from them and then leaving long before they make that much back off of you. This is exactly what you should want to do.

2) This offer for hundreds of dollars requires more money than I have! Stupid bank doesn't want my business!

Well duh, you're poor. Banks make money of their deposit balances and interest off lending. This is for a deposit balance promo. Why would they give you money to give them no money?


I also have never understand this mentality that a bank is "getting" to hold your money, like they should be honored to. Unless you're a gajillionare, the bank does more for you than you do for it. Try living without a bank. The only reason banks offer incentives to people is the free market.

Quote from orangejuice57 :
Looks like a great deal to me. The fraud issues were from a year or more so ago. They've fired everyone involved since.

Wells Fargo had pretty much been restructuring their image since that incident.

I did a credit card sign up promo with them a couple months ago. No issues. Got the rewards back in a timely manner.


So you work for them on the executive level I presume and know for a fact that they fired everyone involved and are restructuring their image, or are you just talking out of your bung hole. I would caution anyone against doing business with them. If such a conspiratorial scheme could have been enacted and allowed to go on for so long, I am skeptical as to whether they have implemented the necessary oversight with checks and balances on their employees to avoid a future situation.

Bonuses under $600 are never reported, AFAIK
Chase sent me 1099-INT form for $500 singup bonus last year. Not sure if you are correct.

Per wikipedia:

Quote :
The bank fired approximately 5300 employees between 2011 and 2016 as a result of fraudulent sales,[16] and discontinued sales quotas at its individual branches after the announcement of the fine in September 2016.[17] John Shrewsberry, the bank's CFO, said the bank had invested $50 million to improve oversight in individual branches.
Honestly, all the major banks push sales people to the point of unethical behavior. WF just went so far that they got caught in a huge scandal. It's probable at this point that they're one of the least likely banks to do this anymore. I'm not a fan of WF personally, but I think this is misguided ire at this point.

Come to think of it, I got one from Chase for less than $600 too. I guess it was just Citi with the $600 limit. $600 is also the threshold for the 1099-MISC, so maybe I'm mixing them up.

Why would banks want to attract lower income people?

Just pragmatically speaking.
They make more money off someone that overdrafts 3-4 times a month and lives paycheck to paycheck, then they would with someone with $5,000 in their account that just sits there. The fees would outweigh the banks interest. That's my outlook on it.

They might as well give you $4000 because 10 more accounts will be opened in your name without even telling you.

Do they still use their customer's info to commit identify fraud? I've been trying to cut back on getting my identity stolen these days.
