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

Post #278 says that its possible only if you apply for the other type of 5% card. In Post #278, the OP said they first applied for the 5% Rewards for 6 months and then closed the card and then applied for the 5% Cash back and got the bonus. This is not the same thing that you are asking because a true confirmation would have been if the OP applied for the 5% Rewards for the 2nd time and still got the 5% rewards a 2nd time.
Nevertheless, since there are two 5% options (Rewards and Cash back) for the WFC card its still good to know that you can apply for the other 5% card and get the bonus.

Has anyone had successful resolution on a WF card closure?
Do they issue any earned awards if your card is closed a week before your statement cuts? If not, has anyone beed successful in redeeming them?
Has anyone had a closed card reopened?

what did you do to warrant a closure? and No, they won't re-opened the cards, not sure about the rewards though.

Nothing. No overpayments. Just high volume.
Official reason is that they closed the checking as a business decision and credit card is being closed as it's part of the relationship. I did drop some MO in checking.

can you go more into details? Like what kind of volume were you doing? 3x your credit limit, 4x your credit limit?

Limit was 15k and I was doing 100k minimum. However their position is that all my relationships are closing due to the checking closing. The checking they will not provide a reason other than it was a business decision.

Did they close your CCs instantly or first restrict access, review them, then close them?

Do you mind sharing how you were paying the CC? Pushing/Pulling? At branch? Via Checking account? Redcard/Serve/BB?
