This was my third attempt at getting a WF (personal) bonus and I finally got one.

06/18/2018 Opened Account
07/11/2018 10 $1 Amazon debits
08/01/2018 10 $1 Amazon debits
09/04/2018 10 $1 Amazon debits

12/14: No bonus. Sent SM saying I met the terms. They asked what the terms were. I copied the ones here. They said “because you haven’t received a credit for the promotion, I escalated your inquiry for further research.
You’ll receive a response by U.S. mail within 14 business days.”

Lo and behold, 12/21 $200 bonus posts!

Does anyone happen to have the screenshot of this February $200 no DD offer Terms and conditions? I was rejected the $200 bonus because they say the debit card transactions should be in-person swipe the card, amazon reloads do not count. I am gonna CFPB them. I have been fighting for the bonus since June and have spent n hours, n>10.

Here is an image of the bonus requirements I got after signing up for an account:

I am having issues getting the bonus as well. I messaged them through the secure message and was told to send them a W-9 form. I went ahead and did that and waited a month, still nothing. Messaged them back and was told they never received it and would send me out another one to mail again. Never received the second form and was told to call them.

Called them today and was forwarded to some supervisor who told me he couldn’t find anything about the offer. I still had my application reference number but I guess they couldn’t do anything about it. He submitted some form that was going to check if the bonus was met and was told it would take up to 14 days for them to review it and if I met the requirements they would put it in my account.

Now this is where I’m at so I guess i’ll update in 2 weeks to see what happens.

Just to follow up here. I was awarded the $200 bonus on 12/07. I honestly didn’t expect it to happen but thankfully it did.

What did you use for your DD?

Came for bad DPs, not seeing many so I’ll share.

Opened 2/28, no bonus has posted.

I had 10 transactions most likely in statement windows, not the 45. I’m guessing may be the culprit. I DMed to start triage. I’ll update once I have good news.

I was just told that there back office is being inundated with questions on the 30 vs 45 days as well as numerous inquiries asking why they haven’t got the bonus.They should do the right thing and pay out for all assuming you met the requirements using either interpretation as the terms are confusing. Sounds like the 45 days was not specified in the original offer when it came out and this was added later when the offer was renewed, but someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

As noted below by some posters that actual terms say:
For 3 consecutive months, make a minimum of 10 posted purchases/payments per month, of at least $1 each, with your new Wells Fargo Debit Card.
-10 posted debit card purchases/payments within first 45 days from account open
-10 additional posted debit card purchases/payments within the next 30 days
-10 additional posted debit card purchases/payments within the last 30 days

my banker said the 2nd period starts on day 46 , not day 30. Can someone confirm whether that was right? This is what I did but it meant I did not have 10 debit transactions posted during the 2nd statement month.

My terms for account opened before 6/30 say:

For 3 consecutive months, make a minimum of 10 posted purchases/payments per month, of at least $1 each, with your new Wells Fargo Debit Card.
10 posted debit card purchases/payments within first 30 days from account open
10 additional posted debit card purchases/payments within the next 31-60 days from account open
10 additional posted debit card purchases/payments within the next 61-90 days from account open

Just SMed Customer Service, keeping my friendly and unassuming tone. They came back to me with terms that said 10 debit card payments x 3 months within 105 days AND $500 DD x 3 consecutive months within 150 days. I took screen shots/PDFs of the offer, and it makes no reference to the DD. Following up now, but may be worthwhile for others to follow up, given how many of us fulfilled the requirements in April, May, and June and several comments below say they have not received the bonus.

Questions:
1. How long are people waiting to close account?
2. How do you close the account? Does secure message work, or do you have to call?
