Wells Fargo Premier $2,500 bonus is back through Nov. 9 for $250,000 in new deposits
By Alex Compton · Updated
Wells Fargo's $2,500 bonus for opening or upgrading to Premier Checking is available again through November 9, 2026, after a $2,000 version appeared at the same link. It matters to customers who can move $250,000 in cash or investments to Wells Fargo and keep it there for 90 days.

What Changed
The offer page again shows the $2,500 bonus, valid through November 9, 2026, though it may only display in a private browser window. In regular browsing the same page shows a $2,000 bonus valid through January 13, 2027, which suggests the higher amount may not last past November 9. To qualify, open a new Premier Checking account with at least $25 or upgrade an existing Wells Fargo checking account at a branch, give the banker the offer code, bring $250,000 in new money to qualifying linked bank or Wells Fargo Advisors brokerage accounts by Day 45, and keep that balance through Day 90. Wells Fargo deposits the bonus within 30 days after you meet all requirements.
Our Take
If you already have $250,000 in brokerage assets you can transfer, this is one of the easier large bank bonuses, since the money can stay invested. Moving cash only makes sense if the bonus beats what that money would earn elsewhere over the hold period, and you are not eligible if you got a Premier Checking bonus in the past 12 months.
