I've met the $4,000 in direct deposit. May I withdraw the money before receiving the bonus? Or do I need to leave it there. I believe I'm on day 70 now.

Last time ACH from another account qualified for the bonus, so this time shouldn't be any different hug
How long do you have to wait between getting bonus offers to not be disqualified?

You can do whatever you want with it, just be cognizant of the monthly fees.

Also got $400 promotion bonus today, opened account on Feb. 3, exactly 90 days. Completed $4000 DD from work on March 2 and withdrew most of it right after.
I am going to transfer out all the money then ask for account closure. This is how you stick it to them.

Account opened on 2/7 bonus received today.

Any suggestions for another bank to open a direct deposit account with for a good bonus? I am in Illinois.

I thought you have to keep $4000+ for 90 days at least, isnt it?
And they count 90 days period after you opened the account or after you deposited $4000 ?
Upd.: Nvm. The link says
Receive a total of $4,000 or more in qualifying direct deposits to the new checking account within 90 days from account opening (the qualification period).

Didn't see an answer for this... I may be over thinking it but just wanted to make sure. I opened an account online and selected the fund later option. Then I downloaded the app and deposited a $55 check immediately and it post the next day. That's good right? I have the DD set up as well. Thing that had me worried was the minimum $25 opening deposit but does that just mean the first this you deposit needs to be $25?

Did you keep the $4000 there for 90 days?

Please look up what Wells Fargo has been doing to their customers. I won't trust them a bit forever. Some of them should go to jail.
Easier if you just tell me. I took advantage of this offer about a year ago. Have both WF CC and bank account. I have not had any problems.

Paypal, Venmo, Cashapp.
Cashapp would be the best, you can add funds from another bank into cashapp and DD to wells fargo.

Hope it helps
Is Cashapp confirmed to register as a DD to Wells Fargo? Is there anything you need to do other than just transfer the funds?

Has anyone using the Venmo direct deposit method actually have it work and receive the $400?

You just have to keep a minimum of $1,500 otherwise risk paying $10 account fee.
