I received an offer in the mail to open a Wells Fargo account and receive a {$300.00} bonus for direct depositing a certain amount in the first few months. My wife received the same exact offer. When I opened my account online on XX/XX/XXXX, there was no indication that the promotion was credited. I went into the branch with my wife a few days later and she opened her account in person to make sure it was coded correctly. The XXXX in the branch also said they would fix the coding on my account to reflect the promotion. 

My account was credited a bonus of {$200.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ; not the {$300.00} as advertised ( and as the clerk in the bank assured me they fixed ). I contacted Wells Fargo multiple times to get this resolved, but all they kept telling me was that the account was coded for a {$200.00} bonus and that was granted. I agree with them that it may have been coded that way, but that was due to a mistake of the bank employee, and does not reflect what was advertised to me. 

The final step was me filing a complaint with their internal customer advocacy team around a week go ( XXXX ). Wells Fargo responded to the complaint today, once again reiterating that the account was coded for {$200.00} and not acknowledging that it was coded incorrectly. 

Wells Fargo often runs similar {$300.00} promotions so there would have been no reason for me to sign up for a {$200.00} sign-up bonus offer.
