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.

Are you sure this will happen, i don't see this in the fine print anywhere
No I'm not sure, which is why I didn't keep my account open after I got my promo. I outlined the options available to everyone in that response. Feel free to handle it however you feel best. I am not an official spokesperson for Wells Fargo. I'm just here to share information. If you don't feel it's reliable, then don't use it.

Also, there is no need to sign and mail back anything. I put all the information you need to know in that post and the wiki.
1) when you submit application & get approval message, it has your acct #. screenshot the entire page.
2) call their customer service, ask for help to sign up online. they give you temp login info and set it up right a way - 5 min thing.
3) initial deposit made during application taking forever to deposit ( I m sure their system is overloaded). so I made another transfer once my Id was set up by pay $3 fee from bank of America - took 3 days to show up
4) once you see some money in your account, then call customer service to order a debit card ( they won't ship card unless you have some money in account). I m sure you can do this by going to branch n getting temp card or whatever... I was too lazy to go to branch & it's like 15 miles drive
5) after u get debit card (took me 3 days but the 2nd one took about a week - again could be just too many orders), make 10 transactions....takes a day or 2 to get posted.
6) after 2 days of posted transactions, you get your $250.
7)take money and run if you like but don't forget to send secure message to cancel the account
fyi-
I have closed both account and burn their card already, still hasn't show up in my ck report yet !! good luck

a quick one, you are. thanks! repd
I want to know too I've been wanting to open my daughter an account
Maybe you also have some moving violations in the past few years? Combine those with an open Burger King and you're toast.
I have had one at fault accident within the past 5 years. Literally nothing else. Clean criminal background. Don't know why this would matter for opening a checking account.
My wife applied too, and got declined same as I did. Must be the open BANKRUPTCY. Oh well, next time I guess.
there's a 12 month wait period
