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.

Wells Fargo restricts card payment from bank account outside WF once a month. So if for some reasons, you pay your card more than one time a month, you have to open an account with WF to pay multiple times. This is a weird restriction.
Are you sure? I have already made 2 payments from Chase in November.

I think it's 3 or 4 payments a month and then you can call to make payments.

The first time you call, you setup your banking info, and then after, it's automated when you call.

I don't know why it restricted me last month. I forgot that I scheduled to pay the card and tried to pay again. The message from WF said that I exceeds the number of payments from a bank outside WF. May be I will test it again.

Costco CITI Card. 4% on gas, 3% on travel and restaurants, 2% on everything at Costco, 1% on other purchases. I get $700+ annually in rewards.
Adding a 2% back on everything and using it on everything other than gas, travel, restaurants is a fairly easy move. I use my Fidelity 2% back card at Costco, for example, so I don't have to wait a year to get the reward.

You could always use your banks bill pay system to send payments to WF. Might not be as fast but then you won't be limited.

Was declined for too many cards with $0 revolving credit on them lol. Credit score > 815. I guess they only accept people they think they can sucker into paying high interest. Going back to BoA for a new card.

Cancelling some CC's today. Need to find out how to dump 130k amex points and like 30k capitalone. Guess I need to travel soon.

I have 186K Amex points I need to figure out what to do with.

I'm patiently waiting on my card to arrive, hopefully, before my grocery run over the weekend. Sign up was easy peasy as well as getting access via their app. Up to this point, I had been exclusively using an AMEX Blue Cash Preferred for everything. However, we are maxing out the grocery limit within the first few months of the year since the 6% only applies to the first $6,000 spent. But I still plan to keep all of my streaming subscriptions (6%) and gas purchases (3%) on that card for the rest of the year while utilizing the WF card for groceries and other expenses and autopays. I'll revert back to the AMEX after the first of the year until I max the grocery benefit out again. I also like the cell phone protection, which will come in handy.

Just sharing this as an example of a low-lift way to get more cash back with a small mix of cards. I don't want to have to tinker with categories and whatnot and most of my travel is for business and on a company card so no benefits there. These two cards combined will give me a nice bump to what I was already earning in CB each year. It's still worth it for me to pay the fee for the AMEX since the cash back percentages override the fee quickly. And this one has no fee so huzzah!

Chase Prime is 5% on gas currently.

Application approved with $22k credit limit and $13.2k instant credit. Enrolled Wells Fargo account, downloaded the app and added the card to Apple Pay and PayPal; I then could use it right away.

Wait... $500 is considered a large medical expense? You must be living in Europe then. Try $5,500 for braces or $3000 to $5000 per dental implant with crown. This card isn't going to cut it. Go with the big boys like Chase Sapphire Reserve or Ink where you can get up to $1k in bonus points for spending 6k within 3 months. And yes I'm speaking from personal experiences. Put in the time and effort to take good care of your teeth early on and you will avoid these high expenses later on in life.
Those cards are not an option for everyone. Most people don't have a business to be successful in getting Ink. Sapphire Reserve also has a $550 annual fee so the $1k points you are getting is really $450. There's a travel credit with the card but not everyone is going to travel to use it. Anyone with too many card applications in the past two years will get denied.

Ummm.... You can get a Chase link card if you're just simply an eBay seller!

Yes, with a certain threshold of sales/income. I tried that with a small number of sales and was denied. I suppose people could lie on the application and say they sell more than they do but that's not advisable since it's a crime to lie on a cc app.
