Not possible

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

Great advice. Plus, it would be best if people never post on this thread so it will get buried deep. I rarely post in this thread, but I'm tired of seeing it on the first page all the time when most questions are easily answered in the wiki. Biggest advice is always NEVER CALL, be patient, figure out if your store is coded right and next should be STOP CHATTING publically. If I was new at this, but wanted to protect a method, I'd just look through a thread (use search to find an old thread) and pm people who seemed knowledgeable. There's far more PM going on with good answers than what's being posted publically. Feel free to flag this post if you're offended. I don't mind if it gets deleted.

Thank you to those who actually wanted to help. Yes, Walmart does give me 5% back(yes, I do know how to check that and I do read the Wiki and I do read every post before I ask a question). Yes, all my points say available now, but the numbers are just not adding up when I count them back from the last statement. I am still 75,000 points short. I am not calling as of now, but $750 is a good amount of money to just let go. Churnman, do us all a favor and don't post publicly anymore. Nobody likes a "Negative Nancy"

One caveat I'm seeing with this whole thing is you cant make more than 6 transfers from a savings account to the credit account ( to pay down the running balance and increase the CL). I got dinged $15 for what is called "excess activity fee". Basically, I recommend a checking account if you are going to flip the CL ...which most of us that have this card will do easily in a given month.
