I called Wells Fargo to confirm the deal. My wife was envious when I got a fat check from the previous deal.
I showed my sympathy by calling to confirm the deal is still around. They renewaled it.

As others have warned already, I was "conditionally approved." I received an email with a tedious list of further requirements.
Not worth the hassle, in my opinion.

what hassle?? i got in on this deal a few weeks ago. i added $1.XX to my prepaid debit card 10x. once the transactions showed as completed, my bonus was deposited within 48 hours. where's the hassle??
i was conditionally approved as well. i just went into the bank and showed them my license. if you can't answer all those security questions accurately, you will be conditionally approved.
If the credit is freeze, can I open bank account? Do they need to pull my credit?
If I got to unfreeze my credit file, which credit bureau I should Unfreeze? (Experian, equifax, Transunion)?
Can I go to a branch and get the same deal?
Thank you for your response
1. Sign Up
2. Fund the account
3. Make the 10 purchases
4. Now you have to avoid the monthly fees by refunding the account, set up direct deposits, continue making 10 purchase/mo. Or, close it immediately after the $250 is credited.
5. After the bonus you have to close the account unless you want to keep it and do #4 to avoid the fees. This will likely require a visit to a branch to completely close it. Zeroing out an account doesn't officially close it.
6. Next you'll receive a 1099 INT and taxes will take a big chunk out of your $250 bonus.

i believe he was referring to if you are conditionally approved. they send you something to fill out, or you can visit the bank to verify your identity.
also, i read in the other thread that you can close the account via secure message. i will give it a try later

Despite that, I still received "conditional approval" and a tedious list of additional requirements.
Wells Fargo has a terrible reputation, and this "deal" is not worth the current hassles and the probable future hassles.

You don't have to do DD AND make the 10 purchases.
You want to know the easy way to do this?
Set up your account, fund it with a CC.
Once you get the debit card, make 10 $1 Amazon GC reloads.
Get your $250 bonus
Transfer it to a checking account.
SM WF to close your account. The end.

That 250 you get is 25cents to them! and more money will be taken from you in the long run! I swear by it

I was conditionally approved too, just waited for the debit card and pin to come and then I just did my 10 transactions. got bonus in 2 days. sent SM to close the account.
From the previous time this deal was posted, it was pointed out that there is a 60-day grace period when opening a new account. Therefore, the initial 10 purchases to qualify for the bonus will cover you for long enough to avoid any monthly fees, if you intend on closing it right after the bonus posts.
