Just got my card in the mail and it's a Plat. I'm still earning 5x on the bonus categories, correct? I will run out a few charges on it later today and then check, but wanted to confirm that Plat does not necessarily mean no 5x. Thanks.

My Plat card did not come loaded with the 5x offer. Perhaps you will get luckier

I did that and poked around for a bit but couldn't figure anything out. I also tried the method in the Wiki but my two purchases have not yet posted.

As I stated just a couple of pages back, many of us on this thread have Platinum cards. As long as you have not had any other WF's card (just to be 100% sure), you should be fine.

Thanks. That's how I interpreted your post, but wanted to confirm.

How long does it take before I can check to see if I'm getting 5x for various purchases as explained in the Wiki?

Never had any issues (except frequent fraud alerts) for the remainder of my promo period

I did survive another warning from them.
I am just not so sure that it's worth the hard pull. I guess it probably is but I only have a month left for the promo.

which grocery stores qualify for the 5%?
 
I tested at Stopshop & pathmark, and both are counted as 5% stores.
we also have A&P and ACME nearby as supermarkets. Has any one tried in these stores and got 5%?

Thank you

Confirmed - 2nd account is getting 5X
 
I posted earlier about getting a second Wells Fargo CC. My first grocery transaction has just hit the Pending Activity on the rewards site and its showing all 3 lines (regular 1X, 20K bonus and 4X)

To clarify, I previously had a "regular" Wells Fargo CC that I closed in 2009, not a 5X card.

Where'd you come across the 20k bonus?

It is targeted.
