Conclusion
This is a great bonus with easy requirements. Wells Fargo has branches in most states, so hopefully you have one nearby.

The business documents really require you to have a legit business, right? I’m not sure if away around that
Remember that when you open one Wells Fargo business checking account you will be automatically enrolled in three bogus accounts. But at least you’ll get to be part of the next $480 million class action lawsuit.
🙂 Double Bonus!
Think I can close my current account and apply with the bonus? I’ve never received a bonus before.
It should work based on terms.
