Successfully stacked 4% “great rate” and $525 bonus, no complaint required. Banker did apply bonus codes multiple times, though, including using the “generic branch code.” This was an estate acct FWIW. I had already applied 4% promo to my personal savings, so WF wouldn’t generate another unique code for me to apply to the estate acct, hence the general branch code.

3/6/2025 — opened Platinum Savings acct w/25k+ check (no $25 cash deposit requested this time). $525 bonus code applied by banker 3/6 (EIN for estate counts as “new customer”). System wouldn’t let her apply great rate promo code on same day.
3/7/2025 same banker applied “general code” for 4%promo since WF website emailed me the same code I already applied to my personal account. Check cleared.
3/8/2025 received email from WF telling me “don’t forget” to apply my $525 bonus code before April 8th! I was concerned this potentially meant the “great rate” code canceled out $525 bonus code. Banker said they are rolling out a way to show which codes are already active, but it hasn’t been implemented yet.
3/12/2025 Same banker applied branch “generic code” for great rate promo again, after the promo that expired 3/11 was renewed to 4/8. Banker also said she’d try applying $525 bonus code again… hopefully this doesn’t mess up anything. She also said she spoke to her manager and confirmed the 2 promos should stack.
3/13/2025 — Interest rate changed to 4% (1 week after acct opening & qualifying deposit).
6/04/2025 = 90 day mark
6/25/2025 (day 111) — $525 BONUS shows up as pending. Transaction description: “PROMOTION BONUS – II”
6/26/2025 (day 112) — $525 BONUS posted

I was under the assumption that I would receive my bonus after depositing 25k total (so mid-July). Happy to be wrong about that… I didn’t read about the possible 4% rate though before opening so never bothered…

3/20/25 – Opened account w $25.00
3/27/25 – Deposit $275.01 to avoid fee
04/14/25 – Deposit $24,701 (total = $25,001.01)
06/23/25 – PROMOTION BONUS $55=25

got $525 bonus (about one month late) on 06/02/25, along with 4% interest all along. Good news, did not really expect it would work

3/1/25 – opened platinum savings in branch, asked the banker about stacking w/ the 4% and the banker said he has done it before and will do it for me. Interest tab never updated and stayed at 0.1%. I didn’t push for it due to other comments.
4/3/25 – deposited $25000
6/12/25 – bonus $525 deposited in account

Are you sure that your dates are correct? If so, I’m surprised that you received the $525 bonus. You needed to deposit the $25K within 30 days of account opening and you were a few days past that.

Just received the $525 bonus and interest?

1/25 – Opened platinum savings with $525 promo

2/6 – Applied the 4% promo with the same banker

~2/19 – Deposited $25k+ 4% promo kicked in a few days later

4/25 – $525 bonus promo requirements met

5/25 – Last day to payout $525 bonus

5/26 – Opened inquiry with Wells Fargo CS. CS could see 4% promo but the $525 promo code I mentioned to them was missing. CS escalated to executive.

6/2 – Spoke with executive case agent, I told him that I applied both codes as the branch manager previously told me that’s okay. He said he will investigate and try to credit it, otherwise I would need to reach out to branch manager if I was overpromised.

6/5 – Received bonus titled “Promo Bonus Credit” – $533

Just received the $525 bonus with great rate promo:

2/3/25: Opened plat savings with $525 promo
2/6/25: Added 4% great rate promo with same banker
2/25/25: Deposited $25,005.00
6/2/25: $525 bonus posted

June 3rd would have marked 120 days from opening, so I was prepared to email my banker. I’m surprised the bonus posted. Not sure if this was meant to be, or if Wells Fargo decided to pay out due to complaints.

Positive DP for P2:
01/08/25 – Opened Platinum in-branch w/ $25 deposit
01/13/25 – Applied 4% great rate promo at different branch
01/31/25 – “Transfered” in $25K in-branch from P1 account
06/02/25 – $525 bonus paid as “Promotion Bonus – II”

We did reach out to the banker on 5/28, who did call back on 5/29 and today, but it seems like we wont need that assistance now.

4.0% should be good through June and a bit of July. May roll over to Discover Savings or even Live Oak or CIT if those promos come back.

Thanks everyone for all your good advice and “Stick-to-it-iveness”. Something definitely pushed WF.
