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.

I joined Chase some 9 months ago and got a checking bonus there. Does the above statement mean that I am not eligible for this offer?
Thanks for the help!

I literally went to a dollar store and told the cashier what I was doing and how they can get this deal to and we did 10 transactions for 10, 1 dollar items. To not be rude I move out of the line any time a new customer showed up to check out. I got the money like a week later.
