Quote from henny :
So, they'll send out a 1099MISC? There goes a big chunk of the $400.

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.
Quote from strange_kiddo :
They will send out 1099INT. Counts as interest.
Yea and anything above 10 is taxable, its like that for any oh these kinda offers. Does it even need mentioning? ConfusedConfused

I opened the account online and bank sent me an e-mail that my debit card and PIN will be received in the mail box, I never received my debit card and PIN but my funds were withdrawn already. Did this happen to anyone? Do they send PIN also in the mail box?

all money is dirty. Wells Fargo was just caught.
I agree..my funds were withdrawn when I didn't even received my debit card and when I disputed the charge, they said that they can't identify it as FRAUD and closed my dispute without my consent.

You are an idiot. If you have a problem with a purchase, you call the vendor to resolve the issue first. I am sure WF would have told you the pin and debit card are on the way. That's the same for pretty much every bank on the planet, although some do not require opening deposits, others like WF requires opening deposit and it's deposited into your new account, then they ship you the debit card and pin in separate snail mail.
For those of you with righteous virtuals, be like Robinhood and take the bonus and donate it to charity.

You won't qualify for the bonus if you already have an account, which many of us unknowingly already have.

It doesn't matter whether it was ATM withdrawal or you have your grandma hand them the deposit, the point is that you are ignorant and further compound the problem by being an idiot to dispute the charge as fraudulent before speaking with the bank. Facepalm

This offer is for new checking customers only. You must have a valid bonus offer code. 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
  • You have received a bonus for opening a Wells Fargo consumer checking account within the past 12 months

They can easily verify whether you qualify based on the SS number that you provide on your application. I called them and they told me I closed my last account in 2006.

The web link from the main post ends in "promo400" so that might be what they're looking for if you're not going through the link.

Which made you ineligible?
