I had to “fight” for this one:
01/13/2025: In-branch opening checking ($325 bonus) and savings ($525 bonus) accounts
01/27/2025: $1k Fidelity CMA Transfer (coded as DD)
03/04/2025: $1k Treasury Direct Transfer (coded as DD)
04/21/2025: $325 Checking Account “Promotion Bonus” Posted
05/29/2025: Contacted branch banker and manager regarding $525 savings bonus
06/09/2025: “Escalation Representative” states I got my $325 checking bonus
06/12/2025: New complaint explaining my initial inquiry is with the $525 savings bonus
06/25/2025: “Escalation Representative” “needs more time”
07/08/2025: $525 savings bonus posted

I’m assuming that applying to both promotions at once created “a technology issue” (their words – not mine) and would recommend people doing these bonuses to, as you always should, keep very good documentation (I thankfully had print-outs showing the promotions were applied to my accounts). I can’t wait to close these accounts and move to something else…

Here are my data points:

  • 03/31/25 – opened account in branch and did a $25 ACH from Wells Fargo checking
  • 04/21/25 – transferred $25,000 into Wells Fargo Savings from external account
  • 07/07/25 – received $525 “PROMOTION BONUS”

I will keep $300 in the account for 1-2 months, transfer the rest out of the account, then close the account in 1-2 months.

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.
