If you transfer/deposit your money from a brokerage or another bank account via ACH to your newly opened Wells Fargo checking a few times (as any direct deposit would), does it show up in their system as a direct deposit and would allow you to qualify for the bonus?

Last time ACH from another account qualified for the bonus, so this time shouldn't be any different

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 by your employer or an outside agency.
Transfers from one account to another, mobile deposits, deposits made at a banking location, or ATM do not qualify.
How is 90 days for DD calculated? The reason I ask is I did the previous deal that required three $3000 direct deposits over 90 days from the date of account opening, which was 11/18/2019 (literally the day I opened the account online). My employer took some time to switch my paycheck to WF and the first two DD happened on 12/31 and 1/31. The third will happen on 2/29. Will that be too late as 90 days from 11/18 is 02/16/2020? Or is there a grace period to get the account going (e.g., with credit card bonus offers)? If not, it would be near impossible to get three paychecks in as DD in 90 days.

Stay away from this shithole of a bank. You will thank me later for it.
