I already have joint account with my Mom. Just open new account and got an email said you qualify for promotion. Now, do i just need to transfer 4k from my Chase into my Paypal account then from Paypal into my new WF. Does it count as DD?

Change you UE to direct deposit, and use the account and routing numbers of the new BofA account.

Thanks. I don't think CA UE benefit have that option... only direct to BoFA debit card and then transfer to any checking account.

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
I used this method for bank of america but it shows the acct name the money is coming from. Indn: my name. Do you know if it would be a problem?

Your balance can be $1000 or any amount (meaning you can also withdraw) and you will still get $400 IF your totals of direct deposits were $4000 in first 90 days (Just DIRECT DEPOSITS they don't care for any WITHDRAWS if you did/do any). Bonus will hit most likely 4th or 5th month after account opening . Just one thing if your balance hits 0 than you wont get bonus. Remember to avoid monthly $10 fee you need to do only 1 of 3 things: Maintain $1500 monthly balance OR 10 debit card transaction monthly OR $500 or more monthly direct deposits (These three conditions have nothing do with $400 bonus)
