It's double what you'd earn from HY savings accounts ($250 for a $25k deposit at 4%), but only for 90 days. Way2Save earns next to nothing on its own

As a bonus they might open 10 additional accounts in your name without telling you to hit their new account number goals. I wouldn't deal with Wells Fargo again if they were offering 10x this amount.

Got the code. But didn't get why YMMV, isn't is open for anyone or is it targeted?

$525 for letting $25K erode for one quarter. What a deal!

Wells Fargo is in the financial news today, but not for their good offers.

Are they in the news for all those missing deposits thanks to what they're saying is a "technical issue"?

Just make sure you stay under the FDIC limit in case Wells Fargo goes bust

So, as an existing customer, can I open the account, transfer the money from the existing saving or checking account, and get the bonus?

You would need to transfer the money from outside Wells Fargo. That's what they mean by "new money". You may be able to transfer out then back, at least with another bank in between, and that should work.

You need to remove the YMMV as it's open to all (it may catch more people's attention then). The dumb part here is that you need to go to a branch to open the account. Is Wells Fargo still stuck in the 1990s?!
