Wachovia $25 Sign-Up Bonus

There is a $100 minimum opening balance requirement for the Wachovia Free Checking account and a $50 minimum opening balance requirement for the Wachovia Free Student Checking account. However, there is no minimum balance requirement after your account is opened.

You must be a new personal checking account customer to Wachovia to receive this bonus, and your account must remain in good standing for 30 days. You will receive your $25 bonus gift card within 8 weeks of opening your account.

If you do not know a current Wachovia customer, we would be happy to provide you with the information of a current customer, so that you can both receive the $25 sign up bonus.

Just email MaximizingMoney@gmail.com to request a Wachovia referral bonus, and we will respond with the necessary information or send you an official Wachovia referral email so that you can apply online, plus we’ll also receive a $25 bonus for referring you, so we both win.

    I received the 25 dollar visa card but cannot use it because it ask for a password which I do not have. How
    can I find out or create a password for this card. This card was received when Chad Harrison Brown opened an account at Wachovia and I had recommended that he come to Wachovia. Thanks, Karen

  5. MaximizingMoney.com - February 16th, 2009 at 9:33 pm

    Hello Karen,

    The original password for all Wachovia Customer Referral Gift Cards is the last 6 digits of the actual card number itself.

    You can login to your account, update account info, or activate your card using that password, but you may be prompted to update your password after the initial login.

    Just visit Wachovia.com/GiftCard to register and activate your card.

    Select the Customer Referral Gift Card from the 4 card images (the gray one with Thank You from Wachovia written on it), and you’ll be redirected to the card account area.

    Then just use the last 6 digits of the card number as the initial password.

    Thank you, hope this helps.

    the card doesnt exspire till the date on it right? because on the website it says “Unfortunately, the Wachovia referral bonus program has ended as of December 31, 2009.” i dont get itt!

  19. MaximizingMoney.com - February 6th, 2010 at 4:28 pm

    Hello Haley,

    If you have a Wachovia gift card from a previous referral or sign-up bonus, then yes, that card wouldn’t expire until the date given on the card.

    However, the Wachovia referral program has otherwise ended, so current and new customers can no longer receive the $25 referral bonus.

    Hope this helps and thank you for your comment. Max
