How to get it

  1. Enter your email on Wells Fargo's Premier offer page to get the bonus offer code.
  2. Bring the code to a Wells Fargo branch by Nov 9, 2026 and open a new Premier Checking account, or upgrade an existing Wells Fargo checking account to Premier. The minimum opening deposit is $25.
  3. By day 45, bring $250,000 or more in new deposits to qualifying linked accounts. Linked bank deposits and eligible Wells Fargo Advisors investment balances count.
  4. Keep at least $250,000 in linked accounts through day 90 after opening or upgrade.
  5. Wells Fargo deposits the bonus within 30 calendar days of meeting the requirements.

What it means for churners

  • $500 more than the standing $2,000 Premier offer for the same $250,000, if you can get to a branch by Nov 9.
  • Investment assets moved to Wells Fargo Advisors can count, so a brokerage transfer can meet the requirement.

Fine print

  • Not available if you received a Premier Checking bonus in the past 12 months, are a Wells Fargo employee, or are a non-resident alien or foreign entity signing an IRS Form W-8.
  • Only the primary owner of the lead Premier Checking account is eligible. Existing customers who don't already have Premier Checking can upgrade.
  • New deposits made up to 7 calendar days before the code is applied count.
  • Some investments and investment accounts can't be linked, and bank fiduciary, custody accounts and annuities are excluded.
  • The account must not be closed or restricted at payout. The offer can't be combined with any other consumer deposit offer.
  • Premier Checking has a $35 monthly service fee, waived with $250,000 or more in statement-ending qualifying linked balances.
  • This is a separate offer page from Wells Fargo's $2,000 Premier offer, which runs through Jan 13, 2027 with the same $250,000 requirement.
