Transfers from one account to another, mobile deposits, or deposits made at a branch or ATM don't qualify.
Direct deposits made available early with Early Pay Day will not count towards applicable options to avoid your account's monthly service fee until the deposit posts to your account and is no longer pending (e.g., the pay date scheduled by your payor).
Primary account owner is 17-24 years old. (When the primary account owner reaches the age of 25, age can no longer be used to avoid the monthly service fee.).

Eligibility is based on university and college participation in the Wells Fargo Campus Card℠ program. Ask a banker or visit wellsfargo.com/campuscard for additional details.

Important Note: "Qualifying direct deposit", a bonus offer requirement and way to avoid the monthly service fee on the Everyday Checking account will include additional qualifying electronic deposits effective April 24, 2023. For details about additional qualifying electronic deposits, please see the "Consumer Account Addenda".

Eligibility Requirements:

Bonus Requirements:
Open a new Wells Fargo consumer checking account with a minimum opening deposit of $25 by May 22, 2023. All account applications are subject to approval.

A direct deposit made available early with Early Pay Day does not count toward the bonus requirements until it posts to your account and is no longer pending (e.g. the pay date scheduled by your payor).

Bonus Payment:
Once the 90-day qualification period has elapsed, we will determine if you have met the offer requirements, and will deposit any earned bonus into your new checking account within 30 days.
The new checking account must remain open throughout the 90-day qualification period and at the time we attempt to deposit any earned bonus payment. Please note that an account with a zero balance may be closed by us without prior notice, as further described in the Deposit Account Agreement.

Quote from CalmRain7727 :
Don't do business with Wells Fargo, their motto should be, "fool me twice you cant get fooled again!"

Before this promotion I got a letter from Wells Fargo saying: "in order to open an account we'll need some additional information." - I called them and yes it was them that sent me the letter, and no I didn't try to make an account. I asked to talk to their fraud prevention and they said "we'll call you in a week to help you determine what to do and tell you what information was compromised." A week passed, I called, I waited, had to call different days again. Later: we'll call you back then turned into: "we'll send the info in the mail. I called called called them and finally gave up. More than 4 months later I got something in the mail: no info about which info was compromised and just a couple pieces of paper that generalized 'what you can do to prevent fraud."

This was after their scam years ago with workers opening accounts without customers knowing.

Wasn't this the same bank that created millions of fake accounts, debit, and credit cards using customer information to boost their new account numbers to impress Wall Street?

Boy isn't that true. I've been a member of them for over 10 years…. But every time I think the grass is greener somewhere else I'm often reminded many banks are very similar

Has anyone routed their direct deposit to their spouse's bank account (without your name on the account)? My wife's direct deposit is harder to change than mines so wondering if I could deposit some of my paycheck to her bank account to get the bonus.

I got 96 days. Did you close the account yet?
Do you know how long the account should remain open?
Thanks.
I think I'm going to keep it open for the time being as I also have a credit card with them

If I close my current wells fargo checking account and open a checking account after some days, will this be considered for bonus? P.S I never got any bonus in the past.

Can anyone that's opened an account chime in on the time the account needs to remain open past the initial 90 days. Previous deals with other banks usually require 6 months in the fine print.

I've had Wells Fargo for over 15 years and their security has been hacked a few times and I had to change my password several times. Even if you report fraud and they credit you back, several weeks later, the money that was credited back to you by the fraud report is withdrawn by the bank. Although it was only 2 x $30, it's still my money that was taken from me and it still pisses me off. I do not have confidence in Wells Fargo when it comes to security, take that info FWIW

The coolest thing is you don't have to do anything further and they'll open another 7 accounts for you, fees and all!!

How about a $325 bonus for the ones they fraudulently opened for me and thousands of others without our knowledge in the 2010s?

I went to the Bank since Online it was saying identity not verified. The banker was very rude and told she cannot Apply the offer until I am a US Citizen or Green Card Holder. I have never faced such situation before and have multiple checking accounts at other banks. Although she offered to open the account without bonus which I refused.

From the terms and conditions.
"Offer cannot be:
Paid without a valid U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (Form W-9 for U.S. persons including a resident alien). Non-resident aliens, signing Form W-8 are not eligible for the offer."

She was telling form W9 is ONLY for US Citizens whereas its written here its also for Resident Aliens.

I have a SSN and valid DL. Planning to apply at a different branch on Monday, has anyone faced this before ?? Any Tips ??
