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

Good question cuz I just finished my 6 mths, and would love to get another card, for another 6 mths of joy. They have like 4 different cash back cards....so if one gets a "different" card, does that count?

I tried last year and did not get 5% again. So, I had to use a family member.

I saw it somewhere someone was told by WF customer service rep that if you cancel the first one and wait for 6 months, you can open another one and become eligible again for 5%. didn't see any confirmation though.

I closed my 5% Cash Back Platinum Visa on 10/6/14. On 3/8/15 I applied for the 5% Rewards Platinum Visa and was approved with the 5% bonus.
My SO closed her 5% Rewards Visa Signature card closed on 8/28/14. On 3/8/15 she applied for the 5% Cash back Platinum Visa and was approved with the 5% bonus.
Both of us opened and closed a Propel card in between the two 5% cards.
