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

Is there a cap on the Cash Back Credit card: https://www.wellsfargo.com/credit-cards/cash-back/ ? I see references in this thread to a cap, but don't see any on the terms and conditions.
Also, if I add my wife as an authorized user would that keep eliminate her from applying for this card after my promotional period ends?

And you can be an AU of someone else first and then apply for the card yourself. So, no to your 2nd question.

How is she going to pay her balances assuming she does successfully apply at some point later? The only way to juice maximum value out of this promo is to pay off the card from a WF bank account as soon as the charges post and repeat. Might as well open one for her now.

so I'm looking to open some external checking accounts so I can push money to WF checking. Does anyone know if there are any maximum amounts that can be pushed to WF checking?
Also, is there any problem if the external accounts have my name on them and the WF checking account I'm pushing money to has my wife's name on it?
Thanks.
