Thoughts On The Wells Fargo Checking Bonus

One thing I really like about this account is that it’s easy to keep fee-free. The $500 minimum daily balance is among the lowest requirements for waiving fees that I’ve seen. Going the direct depost route is also easy, since it’s $500 total in the month that needs to be deposited.

The bonus is similarly uncomplicated. Only needing $1000 total in direct deposits over 90 days is a pretty forgiving requirement. The bonus amount is also higher than average, making this an even better deal.

The Everyday Checking account doesn’t have much in the way of special features, though I like that it includes standard conveniences like mobile deposit and freezing your card.

Overall the bonus and the account both seem worth participating in.
