How to pay down CL quickly?
ACH push from other banks to wells fargo checking and then use that to pay credit card
Likely to get shut down if...?
- Have a negative balance
- Have a really high balance
- Cycling several times through your CL
- Calling in and getting caught by human eyes for suspicious activities.
To check what your 5X/5% window is:
In the rewards account, go to My Rewards -> Account Activity and the days left on the promo will show up at the top....looks like a pie chart.
To check which transactions get 5X/5% before your statement posts
Now, to check if new transactions are eligible for 5X before statement closes, go to "My Rewards" on the top and click "Activity" and set the start/end dates. You should see a "bonus earning" for 4% extra cash back for anything that's eligible.
Caps on 5x / 5%??
There are no more caps.
What to do when transaction not going through due to FA?
Human @ fraud prevention line is 877-575-0462 (to verify charges if locked out) (Update 3-3-15 - Phone number no longer in service per this post)
Automated response number was 800-446-0664

Wanted to throw in a data point - have a WF checking account (although only open 4-5 months), approved for only 2k limit (by far lowest CL of any card), called in to activate and ask about raising limit (have a valid reason, upcoming wedding), told I'd have to wait 60 days.

should have asked for more (10K is not enough during the CVS era...I had 35k and that was not enough for me). However, it might me sufficient after the CVS era.

Question - I was reading through this thread and FW. Someone between the two threads mentioned getting the Rewards card b/c you could redeem for travel. I did a test on the travel website and I couldn't see any difference between booking there or using Expedia (minus MAYBE a few books). Is there still any benefit for redeeming through travel?

I know that my local Target is coded as a grocery store and the loads show as purchase on your CC. Just wanted to confirm if you had luck getting the 5% on the AFT reloads?
....paid only $7.90 in fees
