Wow, the haters on this deal need to reboot and configure their SD priorities.
Who cares how bad Wells Fargo is as a bank?
Even if WF screwed you in the past, this deal allow YOU the opportunity to TAKE money FROM THEM.
Of course, you have to play by the rules of their game, keep an eye on them, take the money, and close the account.
Rinse and repeat the next time?
I received a $1,500 bonus from them last year by opening a business checking account - another $300 for a credit card. That account was closed soon after the bonus cleared. This is a new bonus - so I will rinse & repeat (it's a separate type of account so I'm qualified to jump on this one too). I'll take it a step further and open one for the spouse and kids...and turn this into a 4 x $235 bonus.
If you can't watch this bank like a hawk, or play within the guidelines and rules, then you should probably close this thread and wait for the next deal to be on the FrontPage
Again, don't hate the player, LOVE the game and enjoy your bonus!!
Exactly. This is a great opportunity to take their money because we're just going to close our accounts after getting the bonuses.
Getting $325 bonus is a 2 step process. You have to do the direct deposit this post states and also open the account with a 25$ deposit. I missed that $25 deposit part when I opened my account. I called them to see if I could still just deposit $25 and they told me I actually wasn't even eligible for the promo bc I was not already an existing customer. Nowhere on the page or term and conditions does it state that but the customer service representative was sure that was for existing WF customers opening new checking accounts only. I wanted to just close my account since there's no point now but maybe I'll deposit $25 today and set up direct deposit to see what happens? Anyone else experience this?

I signed up without having an account. On the agreement screen stated "Your deposit offer code xxxxx has been linked to this application" which I screenshotted. Deposited $25 and will have a couple direct deposits set up totaling a little over $1000 and should trigger it.

You dont need to take screenshot. You can access your application and in the application document it mentions the code J**** applied to your account.
After I set everything up, I tried to go to my application and use the 8-digit access code that WF emailed me. But I'm getting this error message. I guess what people are saying about WF is true. This is crazy and I never had an issue with creating bank accounts in the past.
"We're sorry, the information you have entered does not match any of our online records on file, or online access may not be available for your application.
Sign on with the Access Code you received from email and some personal information."

There is a space in the middle of the code, remove it and try again. This is a stupid thing they did.
This offer has been there for a while. I opened an account around November 2022 and I was credited $325 right after 90 days. You just need to follow the process and fulfill the direct deposit requirements.

Thanks, I tried again and it eventually went through and I can access the account. I haven't received confirmation about the transfer yet. I got an email warning about a $0 balance. I'll wait until Monday to see if the funds have at least been taken out from my source Bank account.

That said they are the 3rd or 4th biggest bank the USA & in the top 20 in the world. They are not going out of biz soon.

Also do you need to wait once you receive the bonus before closing the account?
