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.

Mine is still pending
how'd you get a user ID ?
They did not provide an account number which is needed to get a username & password to login. I might visit a branch today to see if it actually is possible to "visit any Wells Fargo store to request a temporary 30 day instant issue debit card" as stated in the first email titled "Wells Fargo: We Have Received Your Application".
edit: Thanks to aNewYorkthing in the post below me for finally answering that question. That is the most useful post in this thread, please add it to the OP.
This was super easy -- Signed up two nights ago, got all of the set up info yesterday morning... Happened to be walking by a Wells Fargo at ~5:30pm yesterday, hours on door said open until 6pm... banker generated a temp. debit card in ~3min. Asked if he could put a note on my account saying that I would be making multiple purchases on Amazon in the next few days (as to not potentially get flagged for fraud for 10x $0.50 GC purchases), he said no problem.
Painless free money. It seems that a lot of you are making this more difficult than it actually is.
If you need a new bank account, great, keep it and keep your balance over $1500 or make 10x debit purchases per mo... if you don't, take your free money and close the account.
