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.

Got approved but no approval B of A rewards card.
If this is truly unlimited 2 percent cash back then it blows away BOA rewards card

I have the Citi Double Cash card with 2% cash back. This looks to be exactly the same. Can anyone confirm that you can get 1:1 cashback for this card? Some cards will give you less if you want cashback like my Capitalone.
Is Citi unlimited cashback? I have it also and never really read the fine print.

get a clue, bro. Wells Fargo has many, many fines for illegal behavior. They are a criminal enterprise that will continue to screw over customers until the corporation is disbanded.

It seems the highest cash back on everything purchase as 2%. The citi double cash card has a condition, pay on time to receive additional 1% cash back and additional 1% cash back will be posted in one's next statement. Is there any better card offering more than 2% cash back on everything purchase?

Check Alliant and there's one more CU that give flat 3% on everything. Search for Alliant and that name would be in that thread or Google 3%cashback card

edit: also, with Citi if you prepay any of the balance before a statement is generated then you'll lose that 1% on that portion, that's the fine print of Citi, unless you already know that.

This is Alliant cash back condition. Please check the info before posting

Earn up to 2.5% cash back on your first $10,000 of qualifying eligible purchases (1.5% for purchases over $10,000)

In addition, probably fewer people like pay the balance before a statement is generated unless one has too much money.

wow i actually got denied for this. They even sent me a letter saying something about checking my credit and some sort of 0 balance credit ratio. I have an ~830 credit score and make plenty of money. I probably spend $1000 a month on a wellsfargo amex ..... what a shit bank.

As far as Im concerned they are out of business. Meaning, I will NEVER conduct business with them after their fiasco was brought to light.

Here's an article on this exact situation...

https://www.creditcards.com/credi...nied-card/

I never carry a balance, have well over a 800 credit score, and was approved without issue. I already had a checking account at WF, so perhaps that made a difference.

Anyone know if the cell phone protection covers multiple phones on the cell phone bill you're paying? I have 3 lines on my account and when trying to read the terms on the cell phone protection I didn't really see any specifics talking about this. I'm wondering if it's just the card holder's phone or all phones on the account, with a limit of 2 claims per year of course.

I hear you, BUT it wasn't just the top brass that was in on it, it included a lot of the employees... up and down the entire chain... and that is why the 3billion in fines is nothing compared to the ongoing issues they will have in regaining the trust of their clients or any future client...

I'm out...

Yeah I wouldn't do business with WF again even if the deal were a $2000 bonus.

Fake news. You still get the 1% if you pay before the statement.

I got the card, it will be replacing Citi Double cash. I'm very happy with it so far. I have never had one issue with Wells Fargo yet I have with Citi..
