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.

Other FAQs:
Method of payment for 10 purchases does not matter; can be done using Debit Card & PIN or as Credit Card.
Link to reload Amazon gift card (minimum $0.50 per transaction, you might want to consider using different amounts for each purchase to avoid triggering WF fraud system): https://www.amazon.com/asv/reload...ur_bal
Account can be closed immediately after receiving bonus, there is no requirement to keep it open, or a penalty to close it at any time.
Account maintenance fees are supposedly waived for the first 64 days (per other SlickDeals users).
You don't need to sign or send back any paperwork.
Hope this helps.

Nothing pending or posted yet.
I was able to do nine back to back $0.50-$0.58 reloads @ Amazon without any problem..
Opened account, got approved but no card. Week later went into a branch of wells fargo and immediately got a temp card, with the card with my name arriving 3 days later. Dog immediately destroyed the card, but that's okay because I did the 10x amazon charges ($0.60, $0.65, $0.70, etc.)
it took 48 hours to get my credit (10x charges on 04/03 at night, credit is here today 04/05). Slick deal, free nintendo switch in my book

If you don't get them within 2 business days after you made the amazon payments just move on and make 10 real ones at a store. No need to call and complain that your cheat didn't work.
For those wondering, once I got my card in the mail I made 10 transactions to reload my gift card on amazon for both accounts. .50 .51 .52 etc. after about 2-3 days of "pending" the transactions posted to my account. While waiting for them to "post" I attached my checking account from my primary financial institution and verified it. About 24 hours after the 10 transactions posted, I got the pending $250 bonus. Easy $500.
The problem I had was that because I had a mortgage in my name years ago, they automatically associated the new checking account with the old web login. Since the system already showed a previous account it also didn't bother to issue a debit card. I had to call them twice to sort out getting online access to my account because I got locked out for not remembering my old login information from 6 years ago. Then got locked out again because they had me try and reset my password 3 times only to find out the system was undergoing maintenance and couldn't be done at the time. Once I got that sorted, I requested a debit card since I never got one and was transferred three times to get me to the right person.
I'd still do it again, but man, it sure reminds me of why I hated dealing with them when I had my mortgage. They need to get their crap together if they want to stay in business.

10 (11 because I can't count) Amazon GC reloads worked for me 0.50-60. Bonus deposited a day after.

Wells Fargo is already showing $0 in Checking with the pending transfer, but the transfer generally takes 2 business days to post. Thanks in advance.
