$400 Bonus for Opening Checking Account With Wells Fargo (For New Customers)


Link to Offer :
https://www.wellsfargo.com/jump/c...ct-test-a/


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.
This is an exclusive, online-only offer and not valid for branch or phone account opens. See below for additional details and important information.


Our Everyday Checking account comes with innovative features:
  • Secure online access to your accounts. Use the Wells Fargo Mobile® app and simplify the way you bank.2
  • 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









* How to qualify for the $400 checking bonus:
Eligibility Requirements:
  • Everyday Checking is the only eligible account for the $400 bonus when opened online. If you do not qualify for Everyday Checking but do qualify for Opportunity Checking®, this offer can still be applied to the Opportunity Checking account.
  • This offer is intended for new checking customers only. You are not eligible for this offer if:
    • You are a current owner of a Wells Fargo consumer checking account
    • You are a Wells Fargo team member

    • A qualifying direct deposit is the customer's salary, pension, Social Security, or other regular monthly income electronically deposited through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network to this checking account by your employer or an outside agency.
    • Non-qualifying direct deposits for purposes of this offer include transfers from one account to another (for example, transfers between your own accounts, or person-to-person transfers using a transfer service such as Zelle®), or deposits made at a branch or ATM, or through mobile deposit.
Bonus Payment:


  • We will deposit the bonus into your new checking account within 45 days after meeting all offer requirements.
  • The new checking account must remain open in order to receive any earned bonus payments.
  • You are responsible for any federal, state, or local taxes due on the bonus, and we will report as income to the tax authorities if required by applicable law. Consult your tax advisor.
Additional Important Information:


  • Offer expires July 26, 2019.
  • Offer subject to change and may be discontinued at any time without notice.

1.The Wells Fargo Everyday Checking account monthly service fee is $10. Minimum opening deposit is $25.
The monthly service fee can be avoided with any one of the following each fee period:
  • Maintain a $1,500 minimum daily balance
  • $500 or more in total qualifying direct deposits
    • A qualifying direct deposit is a direct deposit of your salary, pension, Social Security, or other regular monthly income, electronically deposited through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network to this checking account by your employer or an outside agency.
    • Non-qualifying direct deposits include transfers from one account to another, or deposits made at a branch or ATM, or through mobile deposit.

    • Debit card purchases include PIN, signature, online, phone, and mobile wallet.
    • Debit card payments include one-time and recurring. Examples: utility bill/gym membership.
    Not included
    • Any transaction at an ATM (Wells Fargo or non-Wells Fargo).
    • Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. ACH transactions are set up using your checking account number and routing number — NOT a debit card number.
  • A linked Wells Fargo Campus ATM or Campus Debit Card.

3.Sign-up may be required. Availability may be affected by your mobile carrier's coverage area. Your mobile carrier's message and data rates may apply.
4.The bank will reevaluate transactions from the previous business day that resulted in an overdraft or returned item if we receive an electronic direct deposit to your account by 9:00 am local time where your account is located (which is noted on your monthly statement). The bank will calculate a new available balance, including your pending electronic direct deposit (less any pending debits), and may reverse the overdraft or returned item (Non-Sufficient Funds/NSF) decisions and resulting fees from the previous business day if your electronic direct deposit will cover them. The bank receives most direct deposits through the ACH network before 9:00 am. Overdraft protection transfers/advances and fees from the prior business day are not reversed with Overdraft Rewind. Other deposits, such as check(s), cash, or account transfers received after our initial nightly account processing are not included in Overdraft Rewind. Direct deposits include your salary, pension, Social Security, or other regular monthly income electronically deposited through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network by your employer or an outside agency.

Thanks OP... applied and got approved.. it gave me account no and app no. too..

It said "If you do not set up your Personal Identification Number (PIN) online, a PIN will arrive separately in the mail, a couple of days after your card arrives."

But i did not see any option to set that PIN online while creating application.. did you?

at the end i was trying to enroll for online banking using ssn and account no...
but it asked me pin which i don't have.. and gave error:


"We're sorry, we are unable to complete your request online. Please call us at 1-800-956-4442 for further assistance.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

do i need to wait for debit card and pin the mail for some days before i can register online account???

I did a Wells deal back in Jan 2017 and had the account closed in March 2017, if I recall they paid very quick after you met qualifications.

Given the fine print "You have received a bonus for opening a Wells Fargo consumer checking account within the past 12 months."

You should be eligible for this offer again if you did a prior deal with Wells in the past, as long as its been over 12 months.

When I applied it says my application status was pending review. It was approved the day after. I did NOT get a message saying "your new account is eligible to receive a bonus offer."

I did not get accnt no or pin no either. I just got my debit card in today and waiting for the PIN no mail to come. None of the mails or emails indicated that the PIN mail will come later. Its been a bit of a confusing process so far.

Quote from qkumbr :
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.
this is why you abuse them with these accounts and cancel them after taking the money.
just make sure you abuse them

Quote from orangejuice57 :
Just need a little clarification. Does it need $3000 per month for 3 months straight or is it $3000 total across 3 months?

$3k seems pretty high. I would imagine the lower income people might have a problem meeting that limit.
this would cut 90% of the USA population out of the equation

$400 bonus for signing up, $25,000 disappears from the account the next day.
send 3000 in and transfer 3000 out. keep the bare min in there maybe 500.
just to satisfy the bare min.

have a real savings account that pays more instead
