Wells Fargo Secured Card Finally Graduating!

missji — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 19:37:09 GMT

I received a letter from WF today letting me know that my secured card, opened in October 2018, will graduate on May 4 and my security deposit will be returned by June 3. I opened it with a $300 deposit which I increased to $3,000 in 2019 and then to $6,000 in 2020. I'm super pleased that it's graduating.

Even though it's taken 2+ years, glad to see a positive outcome on your WF secured CC @missji. You definitely don't see this very often as far as WF secured cards go.

That is awesome! Wells Fargo are stubborn. I also had a secured card recently graduated from them. Took them 18 months though.

I opened it with $300 and never increased during that time. After my card got graduated, a few weeks later they increased my credit limit to $1000 without even asking for it, so that was cool. I'd watch out in your account in a few weeks for an auto credit increase. They didnt even let me know, I found out by looking myself.

Nice work! I opened my WF card in 2012 with $300, boosted it to the maximum over the course of ~16mo and it graduated at ~18mo. I remember a phone rep saying they'd never seen someone crazy enough to do $10k on a secured card, but I did it because I felt an impending graduation and wanted the highest CL available once I unsecured.

Call them in 6mo and ask for a CLI; be sure it's a soft pull first. I bumped mine up to $25k over a year or so.
