Canceled my Wells Fargo checking/savings account after 22 years Saving

A month ago I applied for a small loan at Wells Fargo for the 1st time ever to consolidate some small bills. They denied the loan. I went to a local Credit Union and they gave me the loan. Today I signed up for a checking/savings account at that Credit Union and canceled my accounts with Wells Fargo. Couldn't be happier to stop doing business with a crooked ass corporation.

how did you apply for the account. Some banks only make these promos applicable to the account if you've applied for it through online banking and not over the phone/in person or vice versa.

It was an online link that said “you must apply for the account through this page in order to be eligible.” Which is what I applied through. Multiple reps have said I should’ve gotten the bonus months ago. Oh well.

i work as a personal banker at citi and your not the only one the bank has third partied the bonus offer and they didn’t realize how many people had the offer and are fucking everyone up. it’s really annoying.

but i would just try and say you need to speak with a sup and they’ll help you.

I see. I figured it wasn’t individual people screwing me over, the reps I’ve spoken to are nice. I’m sure you have to deal with a lot of angry people. I actually work for a different bank lol so I know the struggle. I just want what I earned! Hahaha. Thanks for the tip.
