Open a Wells Fargo checking account before April 17th 2015 and you can receive a bonus of $100 when you complete either 10 debit card purchases or set up a qualifying direct deposit of $500 or more.

The offer is for new consumer checking customers. All checking accounts are eligible for this offer, except Teen Checking. The bonus requirements must be completed within 60 days. This is a decent offer, but Wells Fargo has had better deals in the past, up to $250 even.
