Hello Everyone,

Newbie here. I have been able to load my WF using my cap1 with no issues. I just got a BA card with a 10K purchase and 2K cash advance limit. Today I tried loading 2.5K using BA and the transaction was denied. I suspected that BA was detecting the transaction as a cash advance, so I called customer service to inquiry and they confirmed my suspicion. The transaction was being denied due to the 2K cash advance limitation.

Any thoughts?

Kind of sad you took the time to create an account and make this post, but didn't bother to read the thread even minimally. :rolleyes:

It doesn't necessarily take time to create an account, for example, I logged in with my facebook account and it took just a few seconds :D

Take your time. Last thing you need is Chase to get upset with your WF activity - Chase is the more important relationship.

I'd spread the spend around. Go buy some gift cards/VRs/MO/Kiva/AP and put some actual purchases on the BA card.

+1 This. I did 30k/yr on BA for companion pass and used many different methods... among them AP, AFTx2, Visa Buxx x3, prepaying my cable bill for about a year, pretty much all my daily purchases, etc. The key is to have many daily/usual spend coupled with the quasi-cash transactions...

Agreed. That is the same thing I do, and no problems.

I quit

All you have to do to force it into being a purchase instead of cash advance is try multiple times on the Wells Fargo site. Every time it says transaction failed, just hit submit again. After a few tries you'll get a message that tells you for sure the purchase gone through.

Weird..set up a new card about 5-6 days ago and loaded with my new chase southwest card. It showed as pending for about 3 days but has been missing from my all-activity tab for the last couple days. Chase still shows the extra 2000 missing from my available credit so I assume it hasn't been reversed, but who knows. Wells said the card is in the mail. Anyone else have this happen?

Probably everybody. It's normal.

Large amount transactions with Chase have tendency of dropping of for a few day in Chase's CC activity, don't know exactly why, possible for human review, but they always come back.
