Spending $500 to get $200 bonus and earning 2% cashback on everything is not good enough? Find one to earn more than 2% cashback on everything. Can you?
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.

How do I see if I met the requirement I have spent over $500 but my account isn't showing the promised $200 anywhere

Same here. I don't understand. Says I need to spend $500 more yet I've already spent that.

Quote from Rwhi21 :
Avoid this bank and Wells Fargo in general. I opened this card up for the bonus, called CS and was assured I met the $500 spending. Once the promo time period ended I called to inquire why I had no received the bonus and was informed that I was a dollar and change short. 2 months later after being assured they would honor this, they called me to tell me their investigation team cannot honor the promo. Shady practice…..I should have listened to others and followed my gut.

Documentation should be easy, don't they have website with list of purchase amounts for everything you've used the card for? You know after you login your account should plainly list every single transaction. You just look at first 3 months and add up all those until you reach $501.

The fact that legitimate large corporations especially banks are straight lying to people's faces? Didn't Wells Fargo recently have big class action and subsequent fines from the government for some shady fee practices concerning loans? Just get another class action going. Bad corporations really need to be shut down.

Do you still have the account? Transactions are usually saved for years and years if not forever. IDK how far my bank goes back I should really check but I guess not important.

Is anyone else really unhappy with their credit limit on this card?

I signed up a year ago and they did a hard pull on my credit and only gave me a $2500 credit line which is really low considering how much I make (had to provide a pay stub during my application process), and my perfect credit history that also goes back over 20 years. It's hard to use this card on a vacation because the limit is too low to put an Air BnB rental on it, nevermind adding a rental car on top of that or airline tickets for myself and the old lady.

I put in for a credit line increase after 12 months of using it and paying it off fully each month (usually pretty close to my credit limit each month too) and asked for a new limit of 10K, and they did another hard pull and only gave me a new limit of $4100. These limits seem illogically low for a 46 year old with a great job and lengthy credit history. I know people in their early 20's who have cards with $20K limits.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Hmm. Drill into the account details under your transaction list. I see a progress bar.

Citi custom cash card give 5% at the highest category used so if you use it only for supermarkets then it works great, up to $500 per month. No annual fee with $200 bonus. I think Amex has a 6% card with annual fee.

Sorry if slightly different topic but I got pre-approved for the Wells Fargo reflect and it sounds very enticing because of the 0% apr for 21months, trying to pay off old debt without developing interest would the reflect card be the best for this? I've read everywhere online (nerd wallet etc) and it keeps being mentioned as being the best for balance transfers-though fee is 5% I don't care about rewards or whatever I literally just wanna open a card for the old debt-pay it off and never use that credit card ever again for anything else

i believe citi caps it at 6k and then 1% after.

depends on how much you spend i guess. with a 200 bonus it will take a lot of spending to make that up with an extra 1% plus the $60 yearly fee to be gold.
like around $25k

Opened my account 2 months ago and got my bonus $200 a billing cycle after the 1st with no problems. Also got a 6k limit out the gate, I've been a long term debit card holder though so it helps to have an account with them long term before applying.

Nope -- its a rebate according to IRS so no taxes on CC sign up bonus or cash back
