These things are very unlikely to happen again. WF got hit with tons of fees and penalties and invested hefty in their risk compliance departments This whole thing sent a shockwave across the industry that also benefited banks' employees. Tellers don't need to aggressively cross sell bank product anymore.

Good all-rounder for those looking for a generalist card and better than Apple Card for merchants who don't take Apple Pay (there are a sizable bunch). Points are awarded monthly and with a $25 minimum for statement credit or check back (Direct Deposit isn't possible unless you have a bank account with them). Wells Fargo's latest pay with points option (I think inspired by Chase Pay Yourself Back) can get around this threshold - redemption is 1 cent to 1 point and points balance must cover the entire amount (no partial offsets). Cell Phone Protection is a good plus, few cards offer a higher rewards rate on top of this perk.

Another thing - Wells Fargo act funny if you pay too many times a month online (I think over 3 payments blocks you from making online payments for the rest of the statement period), but you can always pay over the automated phone system if you exceed this limit.

FNBO also has a 2% cash back Visa with a pre-qualification link. Might be helpful for those who don't have perfect credit and are unsure if they'll get approved. It even tells you the credit limit they'll pre-qualify you for. I got approved yesterday; it'll be my highest limit card so far.

Thanks for the tidbit about extra payments triggering a limit. I was thinking about more frequent smaller payments to keep my card paid off but I'll make sure I don't space them closer than payday every couple weeks now.

Sure, you will get the reward after 6 months
Reward was available within days of the first statement closing date if I recall correctly. Very quick, deposited to checking within a day or two (somebody else noted direct deposit only an option to wells accounts).

Opened this card last month and the reward was deposited within a couple of days after the statement closed.
So far so good, this will be my daily driver going forward.

Facebook got hit with tons of fees and penalties in all countries and it's not like they are in the user data business any less. Equifax got a ton of fees and it's not like I trust their security any more than before. Speaking about banks, JPMorgan got hit with penalty for manipulating precious metals market and that's after they got fined manipulating the Libor rate a few years ago.

There is a thing called cost of business, as long as they still come out profitable they will keep paying the penalty and keep violating the rules. Last I checked Wells Fargo have billions of net profit. Just because they got hit with fines I'm not sure if we can definitely say they will stop doing bad things.

But then, there is risk when doing anything. I think $200 is worth the risk.

Terms and conditions:

Points will expire three years from the end of the calendar year in which they are earned, and will expire on a first-in, first-out basis annually. (i.e., points earned in calendar year one will expire on the last business day of calendar year four.)

In order to redeem for cash or statement credit, you must have a minimum of 2,500 points. Redeemed cash will be transferred into your eligible USALLIANCE Checking Account within 10 days of redemption. Cash Back and Statement Credit redemptions must be made in increments of $25.

That means one must spend at least $833 to redeem the minimum 2,500 points and redeem the points at least every three years. If one wants to redeem for cash, s/he must open USALLIANCE Checking Account.

You may have the option in Online Banking to convert it to this, but may lose any bonuses versus applying for a new card. If you apply for a new card, after you get it and activate, Wells Fargo should be able to move most or all of the available credit line on the old card and add to the new card credit line, then close the old one out. This will help with your credit rating as having a card with a higher credit limit shows you to have a lower overall debt to credit ratio.

Have banked with WF since 2000 and never had an issue. All large companies have issues, a lot have had breach of their systems [upguard.com] resulting in all your personal information being leaked out to folks looking to sell your data on the dark web. That kind of breach has not occurred at Wells Fargo. Their shady retail practices was mostly limited to a region in California if I recall, the company of over 200,000 employees is hardly shady and most I've encountered are nice hard working people. As reported in the news, the CFPB order from 2016 sales practices has ended. The company has underwent an entire change out of senior leaders, none of the folks around during the 2016 scandal are there any more, they've made major changes to their sales practices. They're still mopping up some of the past issues. Give it a break.
