Wells Fargo has brought back its $2,500 Premier Checking bonus, and it runs through Nov. 9. Enter your email on the offer page to get a bonus code, then take it to a branch to open Premier Checking ($25 to open) or upgrade a Wells Fargo checking account you already have. Bring $250,000 or more in new money into linked accounts by day 45 and keep at least $250,000 there through day 90. The bonus arrives within 30 days. The good news is that Wells Fargo Advisors investment balances count, not just cash. That means moving investments you already own can qualify, so you don’t have to park $250,000 in a low-rate account. A $250,000 linked balance also waives the $35 monthly fee. Premier Checking itself pays just 0.01% APY, so don’t leave the money sitting in checking. You’re not eligible if you’ve received a Premier Checking bonus in the past 12 months. The bonus is reported as taxable income, and the code works only in a branch.
