How to pay down CL quickly?
Use WF account to pay
Likely to get shut down if...?
- Cycling several times through your CL
- Cause a negative balance
- Have a really high balance
- Calling in and getting caught by human eyes on bestiality activities.
To check what your 5X/5% window is:
In your account summary page on WF website, go into the CC, and click "show my rewards" on the left side, then click "Visit Wells Fargo Rewards"
From there go to "Earn Rewards" on the top and click "My Offers" and go into the "Promotional Offers-Usage" tab.
To check which transactions get 5X/5% before your statement posts
To check if new transactions are eligible, go to "My Rewards" on the top, click "Activity", and set the start/end dates. You should see a "bonus earning" 4% for anything that's eligible.
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: 800-446-0664

A customer service agent told me there is a way to enter large purchase pre-authorizations myself on the web site. Does anyone know where that is?
I did notice that my last pre-authorization seemed to be good for multiple purchases. So if you tell them you'll do $2000 at ABC company you can do it multiple times that day at least.

I haven't paid this card with BB yet, but I have paid a couple other cards with no hold. Every time has been the two days if it was an electronic payment.

I was just approved for the card with a $5k credit limit. I'm planning on asking for a CLI as soon as I get the card but was wondering if I can transfer money from my WF checking to the card right after purchasing something. Like if I buy $2k worth of items and the charges are pending can I transfer $2k from checking directly to the card and it will free up the CL? Or do I have to wait until the transaction posts to transfer? Thanks

Question for those that have had this card for a few months. Are you taking a taking a statement credit every month for your points? If not, how high of a point balance are you holding? Also, is anybody using their points for anything other than a statement credit?

Yes. Statement credit or transfer to Wells Fargo Savings Account followed by a transfer to a different bank. Their new anti-MS terms and conditions has strong clawback language. No reports of that happening, but do not leave rewards out there to tempt them.

I say "drain," but it will take them down to in factors of $25, so you may end up with a balance, but you should never have to carry a balance of more than $24.99.

There is no reason to hold a point balance. You can set an automatic redemption option whereby it will drain your points and apply them automatically to your account of choice.

My goodness..I've been waiting for almost 2 weeks now and my payments still haven't posted. I made payments on the 20th and 23rd of March, but they haven't even added the payments to me account...

Have you redeemed points towards travel? If so, what does the receipt look like, does it show just points or does it show a paid $$ amount?

It's 1.5 cents per point value and a $24 one-time booking fee. In the end I'm sure you'll get a reservation receipt that will also show up with your airline of choice.
