Then I have applied twice more. Denied and last time the reasons they listed was too many new accounts and inquiries in the past year. So, I figure I'll just wait for a preapproval. I'm sure one will come eventually as they are probably constantly AR'ing their current customers. I'm sure I could get approved once all my inquiries dissappear and my accounts are all over 1 year, but I'm happy with my cards now and I'll just let them decide when the time is right. I do want one, though. Well Fargo CS has been very good to me in the dealings I've had with them. I am a happy customer.So, to sum up, denied by WF 3 times in last 2 years.

Yeah, oddly enough, WF does send me Auto Loan preapprovals all the time. No CC offers, though. Weird.

I hope you get a preapproval, but don't hold your breath. I've banked with WF for 10 years, never been late on any payment to any one, never overdrafted, etc...and they've never sent me a preapproval offer for a CC. Everyone else has! I've heard similar stories. I think they're just a bit weird about their CCs. I'm dropping them soon and only banking with BoA and NFCU.

The reason that I wanted one was because I worked there and one of the few ways I could use my discount was to have a Sears card. When they finally approved me, I got a $250 limit.
