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

Let me repeat: It's no different than a regular purchase at Target.
It matters on your particular Target.
How do I know my card gets 5X on AFT? Because I went to my Target and used my card and found out.
And does it matter if it is a super target or regular? Thnx in advance...you will make my 4 kids very happy

Applied, got pending decision, was approved with 2k CL that a lot of people seem to get. Did open a Wells checking account a couple of days prior - needed a place to dump MOs as I'm getting into that side of the game.
Will take it somewhat slow first two months and then try for the CLI bump when I do an AoR in 60 days or so.

Just got my card, and first statement already out in 3 days only after 2 swipes at CVS, however, the reward listed is only a mere $0.20 even though the total charge is over 1k.. How does wells fargo calculate the reward? Is it not what you posted on the statement but will be adjusted in the next statement cycle?
Also, how is the 6 month calculated? I applied on 4/1 and got the card on 4/6, statement out 4/8, until what date will I be earning the 5%?
Thanks a lot!
