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

So is this card a lot less desirable if you don't have a Wells Fargo location near you?
It seems like they hold up the credit line for weeks if you pay with a non Wells Fargo checking and the mobile app will only let you deposit 5k a month in money orders.
Would transferring money into Wells Fargo from BOA and then paying the bill work or would that take too long?

I've been doing that lately to get credit right away on my cc account.

I'm sure it was asked and answered before, but I cannot find it. My last day of 5x points is 5/19. Can I close this card after (and may be propel card i also have) and apply for a new 5x (may be cash, not points) in 12 month? Have anyone done it?

I can't speak to receiving the 5% for the same card type though.

I don't think you looked hard enough at all since the question was just asked in the previous page. See the quotes below. Bottom line is NO you can't apply for the same exact card and get the 5% bonus again.

Thanks! The question is do you need to close ALL Wells Fargo credit cards before applying? It seems that if you have any other card open you will not get 5x.

Is it necessary to (1) close the 1st account? (2) wait 6 months after the cancellation of the 1st card for application?

About a week after I used the bill pay feature on my fiance's REdBird to send a payment to WF (CC in my name), I got a letter stating that they had been unable to verify I was an authorized user on that account. Which I'm not for the record. Why should WF care if person A is making payments to person B's account?
Has anyone else had this problem? I've made several payments like this over the last three months and there have been no issues.
Anyway, now I've added myself as a "sub account" on fiance's RB and am going to call RB customer service to fax verification to WF.
Wish me luck

So far no adverse affects from this issue. Hopefully this was just an anomaly.

I can't answer for sure because my experience was similar, but I do see that my old rewards account disappeared in the interim (8 months for me) and that I have a new one that is receiving the 5x bonus points.

Paying balance with Money Orders at a branch?
I am in the first month and would like any feedback about paying down the balance with MOs in a branch. I am not talking about deposits into checking. But paying the CC directly. Has anyone done that on a consistent basis? Once a week for 3-10K each payment? Or should I do a smaller amount of payments? Will it make a difference to go to different branches?
I searched but could not get an answer.
