Wells Fargo has brought back their extremely popular $250 checking bonus, if you haven’t done it already then I’d recommend doing it now. Previously there was some language in the fine print that made it seem targeted (people that weren’t targeted were successfully getting the bonus though) that language has now been removed. The only difference between this and the old offer is that this offer is online only and the other one could be opened in branch, this shouldn’t affect most people although I know some people did sign up in branch previously due to issues opening online.
This is the best nationwide checking bonus currently and is set to expire on March 24th. I’m turning comments off on this post, so we can keep discussion of this deal in the one dedicated post.

If we have already signed up and closed the account, what are the chances of being approved for a 2nd one with this bonus?
Sound unlikely. Assuming the terms are the same as last time:
A recipient of a consumer checking bonus in the past 12 months (limit 1 bonus per customer)
You cannot be:
