Come on. Do not add pre-conditions to earn more. We are talking about no pre-conditions to earn 2% cash back on everything purchase and you just can't find the card to earn more. If you like conditions such as annual fee, member to open a bank account etc, that is a different thing. People may not like those conditions.
Bickering comments have been removed from this deal thread. Feel free to use the comment section to discuss the deal, but do not use your comments to attack or target other members, please and thank you. Peace
Nice flex letting us know you have over $100k in your BofA account

SO if this states: You may not qualify for an additional Wells Fargo credit card if you have opened a Wells Fargo credit card in the last 6 months.



I had autograph last 5 months ago, doyou guys think I may not get the bonus?

I remember the Fatwallet bitcoin threads from back then, lots of us posters laughed at those guys including me. I would love to take a look at those threads now and feel sorry for myself.

You can use a credit card to put money into a CD? Seems like quite the loophole that banks would've noticed and locked down by now.
I don't think that's who he/she meant.

It's more like if you plan to (or usually spend) lest's say $15K per year. Put your cash in CD now to gain interest for whole year because you only need to pay minimum on your card in the next year.

I got denied - maybe for the first time in my life - with a spotless credit record (> 800). Wonder what is going on. Maybe because I am retired?
Call them and ask why

Sometimes it's just technical or non-credit related reason. For example, they cannot pull your credit report or it fails at identification process.

I'm a little annoyed they're switching one of my older Wells Fargo cards, I think Propel, over to the Active Cash card and not giving a bonus.

But this is a better card, easily the highest everyday cash back of any card in my wallet.

This is a $500 in 3 month spend requirement. I can't imagine anybody who can get a card in the first place would need a large purchase for it- even if you ONLY used it for groceries that's only $42 a week needed to spend... let alone gasoline or utility or insurance bills in those 3 months.

all u gotta do is charge yourself from 1 PayPal acct to another and return the 500 to get free 200 plus u get points so it's a no brainer u make 175 ish with the 3% fee and the points u get its fool proof. thats how i got the 950 with the chase cash deal. u make a ton of free money. just pay it back right away i keep doing it

Assuming you paid $25 in fees as you suggest I have to ask-- why would you give up 12.5% of the bonus in paypay fees when it's such a small amount to spend you could get the FULL bonus with just normal spending?

$200 found money? What's not to like. New tires for the Lambo! Smilie

My M&T Visa deal just paid off.

Don't you mean new TIRE for the Lambo? LOL

Edit: I meant 'down payment' for that tire. LOL Seriously, I wonder roughly how much a set of top tier Michelins/Pirellis would be for say... a 2010 Murcialago (sp?)?

*Ed Bolian (VinWiki guy/Lambo expert) should enter the chat. LOL

I also got denied also. First it was because my credit report was locked (oops, forgot). I unlocked and called them to retry. Then they sent me a letter and wanted proof of income (saying they wanted two W2). OMG, in my application I indicated I wasn't working, so I don't have W2! They said to mail in the W2 and/or call some number. I called the number and yelled at them saying I didn't have a job which I stated on the app, so I don't have W2. Over the phone, the CSR asked for & I gave 2 investment/savings account types (not even any acct numbers, just what/where they were). Then a few days later, I got a new letter saying I was approved.

Wife and I applied separately. Our credit is decent (~750). I got approved for 14k, she got approved for 20k. Planning to buy a nice mattress and get $400 off with the bonus (paying off the rest immediately, of course). Very nice when you can game the system like this.
