Re: Targeted - WF checking SUB for teens

Hmmm.... I bet my 15yo would love to do this. How does one receive this offer? I don't have any accounts with WF. What does "qualifying posted transactions using your new checking account" mean? Does that mean buying something with your debit card? Or writing a check? Making a deposit?
Everyday 5% CB:
Chase prime Visa // citi CUSTOM CASH “A” // citi CUSTOM CASH “B” // citi CUSTOM CASH “C” // citi ThankYou (5% gas, lucrative spending offers) // mylowe’s Rewards // Target circle card

Rotating 5% CB:
Chase “OG” freedom Visa // DISCOVER it Cash Back // nusenda CU Platinum Cash Rewards

Everyday 4% CB:
US Bank Smartly (v1.0)

Everyday 3% / 2.2% CB:
AOD FCU Visa Signature (3%, sockdrawered) // upgrade Cash Rewards Elite (2.2%, sockdrawered)

Welcome Offer / credits only:
NFCU FLAGSHIP REWARDS (elevated Welcome Offer, annual prime credit, sockdrawered)

Hotel card:
Chase IHG ONE REWARDS PREMIER (elevated Welcome Offer, 1 free night/yr)

On my radar:
Langely FCU Signature Cash Back (5% CB monthly selectable cat) // Safe CU Cash Back+ (Quarterly rotating 5% CB cats plus bonus cats) // upgrade MyFive Cash Rewards (5% CB monthly selectable cat) // US Bank Kroger (and family) World Elite Master Card(s) (5% CB Mobile Wallet)

Re: Targeted - WF checking SUB for teens

I have a WF chking account but am guessing this offer may have been triggered after adding DS as an AU.

 

I PMd you screen shots of the details.

Re: Targeted - WF checking SUB for teens

Interesting.  So I tried searching for the offer to see if I could find it without "being targeted".  I found it (kinda) but it isn't teen specific.  But otherwise seems to be identical.  being under 25 waives the $5/mo fee which is nice.

Chase has a similar $125 / 10 transaction offer but it's for college students.

So, I procrastinated but did finally go in to Wells yesterday, Oct 14, with my son.  The $125 offer "expired" today, Oct 15 (it's been extended to Jan 14 '26).  

 

Relatively painless although we were there for just over an hour.  

 

Debit card will arrive in 5 - 7 business days.  Then the 10 small transactions will begin!!  Smiley Happy

 

My 12 year old is jealous that he can't "get a free $125" (you have to be 13)

 

Thanks E46 for bringing this offer to my attention!
