Although Wells is one of Warren Buffet's favorite investments, I have been dealing with them since 1986 and have never found their customer service to be very consistent. It is entirely conceivable that what I was told is incorrect, especially since the CC and PP are two separate areas. That is why I queried you.
Hopefully your advances stay as purchases.

Something strange: On $2043 in purchases, I got 5088 bonus points -- for a total of 7,131 points on $2043 spend. I can't figure it out. I ain't complaining, either.

more from your purchases by earning triple rewards points for every $1 spent in gas, grocery and drugstore net purchases (purchases minus returns/credits) for 6 months and 1 rewards point for each $1 spent on all other net purchases with your credit card.

Strange Products.
Banks are rolling out strange products these days, stranger....Now WF disallows loading funds from non WF credit cards because those charges showed up as purchases and not Cash Advances, yet WF itself posts as purchases. 'Purchase' of what? and why? The banksters are full of surprises!

Look at the variety of closures that have been reported; some consisting of deliberately low key usage and some aggressive. Some balances were refunded by check thru snail mail and some were credited back to the loading CC.
