That's like saying you drive 20MPH in a 55MPH zone because you don't want to get a speeding ticket. To each his own, I guess.

what in your opinion is a reasonable run rate per week?
Everyone has their own comfort level and my best advise is to stick with what you feel comfortable doing. There isn't a right or wrong number. |

Does it take longer for the bonus rewards to show up than base awards? My account snapshot shows pending base rewards but nothing for bonus rewards. I called the rewards number and they confirmed that I am elgible for 5X bonus but wasn't very helpful on saying when they would post.
|
Base and bonus should show up at the same time after the charge posts. I just got the card and made several charges and they show on the reward site. BTW, if you don't like your limit you can call in and have them raise it. I doubled mine with one call without a new HP. YMMV

Have those of you with the rewards version of the card (the one that can be redeemed toward airfare for 1.5 cents per point) consistently had the redemption rate increase to 1.75 cents per point toward airfare after spending $50K? I have seen a few reports of this, but not widely reported. I need to book a ticket to St Croix for Labor Day weekend and am wondering if I should wait (I should hit $50K this billing cycle). Thanks in advance

$100 sign up bonus
Got solicitations from Wells on this card. The sign up bonus is $100 after $1K spend. The offer expires Aug 3rd.
Is it common this card has a sign up bonus? Dont want to apply now as we would be out 40 days between Aug and Sept. I dont want to train this card then stop using it for 40 days and have to retrain it, not to mention losing 40 days of earning potential. |

Happiness, I've just been approved for card with 10k limit. My wife's card just went past 6 months, so the game continues.
To the braggers: how do you cycle that much through? I understand you can hit your limit, and pay it off early to renew it. (but it does draw attention, and is one of the ways people get shut down). The hard part seems liquidation of all those grocery store VGC. You have a couple of BB accounts, and some folks buy MO directly with VGC, but you still have to deposit them (which draws attention of banks, and maybe government scrutiny) So how can you get to the levels you claim? We cleared about 4k in rewards after GC fees, mostly thanks to Redbird's no load fees while they lasted. That was with a 14k CL, maxed and paid once each month. We didn't use redbird or bluebird to pay card directly. I would deposit to WF funds from other banks, and cash from BB/RB ATM withdrawals, then use our WF checking to pay CC bill. Walmart codes as grocery near me and a $500 VGC is only $4.95 but they have to be bought 1 card at a time, so that would set off fraud alerts every day. Other cards can be bought $1500 at a time (at Krogers) but cost $1 more each which reduces net rewards to a little more than $2250 - time and gas to liquidate, over 6 months....if I stick to my previous method. I am happy with the previous result, but would have to charge and pay twice a month to repeat it. I tend to be cautious and don't want to be a greedy hog that gets slaughtered, but if you guys are really running 6 figures through in 6 months, I'd like to know how. |
I know someone is running 6 figures a month, but it doesn't mean you and I can do it. Do only what one is comfortable with.
