Hey everyone. I am hoping to attempt round two of this card for my wife. I had my first attempt in May and things didn't work out so well and my CC and checking account were both shut down within a month and a half. But I think I could make a better go of it this time around.

My question: Is there any risk of adding myself as an AU if my wife is approved for this card? Will WF track it and notice that someone who they just shut down is an AU on someone else's card? Anyone have experience with this?

TIA.

Just use her card...I put xxxxxx$ on her cards every month and never issues and I'm not an AU

Yes I have realized this, and in fact you also made this point when I originally posted about this a month ago. Getting old.

Weird since you called out this guy for BS about getting ecoli back on June 16 when I originally posted about this. Pretty hypocritical.

So about a week later they manually credited my account for the missing 900 but then like 3 days after that my checking was closed. And about 2 weeks after that my CC was closed. It's too bad cuz everything was going great until the misread MO happened.

It doesn't seem the amount of spending I did was what lead to cancellation. But for the record I had a 5k CL (platinum card) and was spending about 10-12k/week.

At the time depositing MO's directly at WF was what I had gathered from this thread to be the easiest and best practice to cycle the CL on this card most effectively. I now realize it's better to deposit MO's to a different checking account first and then push money to WF checking.

I for one, want to thank you for taking the time to explain your unfortunate experience. It's data points like yours that will help all of us in the future to keep churning. :D^

Because IT IS BS he's spouting.

The key is mixing in the deposits, not just one way or the other.

Sorry. Some people advised against even paying the card from a non-WF account though, so Idk. I have a redcard linked to a joint wf account and a serve in dh's name linked to another, so I load and transfer the funds to one of those. I hope the Serve deposits don't cause our accounts to be closed.

Add them as a joint owner on the checking acct. That will allow them to have their own user name login and set up a separate profile.

We were able to stop into a branch out of state and add my SO to the account as a joint owner, but I'm now having trouble finding how to set up a separate profile and user/pass for the account. Google hasn't been much help.

All the Q&A online shows is how to add 'guest' access which I don't think will allow them the relationship to open the 5x card down the road.

Any insight is appreciated.

you spouse just needs to set up him/herself with the account number/ ID etc.
you can't add guest access in your account.

It normally tells you when you do it. If not it is the standard 3 biz days at worst

I recently received my visa signature card and verified on the my offers tab that the card was eligible for 5x grocery etc., but I'm concerned because my first charge just posted and it doesn't show any points/rewards or anything that has been discussed earlier in this forum. Do I have reason to worry?

If you have read the wiki and followed the instructions and still don't see your rewards, then yeah you have every reason to worry.
