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 was able to successfully create a login to manage my account online using the following steps:
1. Go to branch and obtain temporary debit card (took three minutes)
2. Used SSN + temp debit card # + pin I created successfully.
3. Done.

To anyone adding their temp card to amazon to start making their transactions, use the name you signed up with Wells Fargo with exactly (reference any of the emails they sent you if needed)... no issues at all.

To anyone getting provisionally accepted only to be later denied, the same thing happened to me the last time this bonus was offered... I assumed I just hopped on the train too late.
I got provisionally accepted again this time, but received full acceptance, account generation the next morning.
I would suggest just trying again later on in this promotion, but I am not sure what harm (IF ANY) this is doing to your credit score... I don't really understand the need to check someone's credit score to open a basic checking account... but please do your research.
Hope this info helps someone.
Take care.
what do you mean by "provisionally accepted". did you not get an email stating approved?

I tried going to a branch to get a temporary debit card issued. The banker flirted with me the entire time and had to call corporate to ask about how to issue the temp card. They claimed I had to make a deposit first. I already did, the charge even posted to my account yesterday. She gave me her number and said she would call me to sort it out. I'm not even mad TBH, lol. Might be able to get $260 and a date out of this deal.
In 7-10 days, they will follow up with the following:
The previous version of this deal, that is exactly what happened to me. The act of opening a Discover IT Secured credit card and using it for a ~month allowed me to get credit history and now they instantly approved me this time.

The next day I received a package of three e-mails containing various information and the first contained the following:
"Thank you for your recent Wells Fargo account application. If you have already provided instructions on how you would like to fund your new accounts or if we have received your opening deposit through the mail, your accounts are ready to be used!"

Hope this answers your question.

Example, in this thread, is that someone started a new account, funded it, got the money and transferred the money to another account and then requested that the new/current account be closed.
Did the first email state you qualify for this promotion?
