$50 Banking Bonus from Wells Fargo
These days I have seen a lot of sign-up promotions from many US banks. Here are some new banking bonuses other than I previously posted two days ago.
The first one is the $50 checking account bonus from Wells Fargo. The second one is $100 checking account bonus from Provident Bank. And the third one is $150/$100 from Sovereign Bank.
I only reported one banking bonus from Wells Fargo Bank in 2007. And this one is similar to the one in 2007. The $50 bonus is a really easy free money. Because Wells Fargo doesn’t require you to maintain minimum balance with this checking account. At the same time, you don’t have to make direct deposit to this account to receive the $50 bonus. There is no monthly fees associated with this account.
To get the $50 bonus, you have to open a new Wells Fargo checking account with a minimum initial deposit of $100 (not including the $50 bonus) by October 17, 2008. The $50 bonus will be deposited to your account in 45 days after account opening. To apply online, you can go to here. Or you can call 866-245-3452 to open a new checking account.
Please note that: The $50 bonus is available with all Wells Fargo checking accounts, including non-interest-earning checking accounts, except for Wells Fargo College Checking®, Wells Fargo Teen CheckingSM and Wells Fargo Opportunity Checking® accounts.

Provident Bank has a $100 checking account bonus for opening a checking account with direct deposit. The new checking account should be opened before Nov. 21, 2008. And you must have direct deposit and a Provident Master Money debit card by 12/31/08. The minimum opening deposit is $25. Offer only available to residents at DC, MD, PA, VA or WV.
The promotion page can be found here. Please remember that you have to make direct deposit to qualify for this offer.

The Sovereign Bank is also running 2 checking account promotions.
If you open an Interest Checking Account with at least $10 and making a direct deposit into the account within 90 days of account opening. You will receive $50 bonus. If you use their visa check card and make 6 purchases, you will be awarded with another $50 bonus. The Interest Checking Account doesn’t requrie minimum balance but you have to make direct deposit to avoid monthly fees.
If you open a Premier Checking Account with a combined balance of $15,000 in 90 days, you will be awarded $100. Another $50 is awarded when you make 6 qualifying visa check card purchases within those same 90 days. The Premier Checking has a $25 monthly fee if your combined balance falls below $15,000. Please consider this before you pull the triger.

No monthly fee depends on states, right?
Wells Fargo provides different checking account services at different states. For most states, you can choose free checking account which doesn’t have monthly fees.
“This offer is only available to consumers in the household that received the special mailing from Wells Fargo Bank, and is not transferable. Offer expires 10/17/2008. ”
Did you see this on the webpage?
They don’t require a promotion code/invitation code. So….YMMV
I just tried to apply for this and got a message that I needed to call WF to confirm more information… they asked how I found the special, because they said they weren’t running it. I gave them the url for the fabulous50 bonus and made the mistake of saying I heard about it from a third party website. They told me it was only offered to customers who received the mailing, and wouldn’t budge on that. So, I didn’t get the $50 bonus, and I didn’t open an account.
Yes….You shouldn’t say you find this from other websites. It’s a pity.
