Agreed. Similar. This seems to be one of the fastest and highest bonuses now using self directed account (WellsTrade) available to either new or existing accounts with upgrade.I think the Wells Fargo $2500 Premier Checking offer actually expired for a bit but it's now back through the 7th of January. My summary: get a signup code on the web site, open/upgrade to Premier Checking in a branch, bring in $250k of new funds by day 45, maintain $250k through day 90, keep Premier Checking open until bonus posts 0-30 days after day 90. No monthly account fee for the first 40-something days but after that if you don't have $250k in at the close of each month it's a $35 monthly fee, so if you don't like fees either keep your $250k there more than 45 days or time your account changes carefully. Do read the fine print, offers change!

I did it in September. Had opened free checking and WellsTrade accounts in preparation and let them settle a bit (and ECATS some choice MM funds to Fido that have a $10mm minimum there but none at Wells) so just doing an upgrade was quick and easy.
Possibly because of their past problems I have found Wells Fargo to be extraordinarily good about account and fee disclosures. So far it has been a quite civilized experience.
Partial ACAT of VUSXX was successful and took about 5 days, although apparently can't purchase VUSXX in WellsTrade for instance if ACH funds:

Can purchase Vanguard's VMRXX Prime MMF and VMSXX Tax Exempt MMF, although not interested, due to lower net yield and anticipated state tax exemption rate for VUSXX that have found is best compared to other treasury funds if not using fully tax exempt, mostly due to low ER.
