Wells Fargo Propel World Amex approved... Finally!!

Been trying to get this card for a very long time now, it has a nice signup bonus and probably the only decent WF card available. This is my 4th attempt I believe and finally successful for $2500. Not a whole lot but I'm ok with that, I now have CCs from all of the 4 major US banks. In order to get this card I opened a Wells Fargo checking account back in July because I heard they liked relationship and in the mean time got an auto loan at an awesome rate a few months back as well with them which I'm sure helped out alot. This one had me very irritated and accounts for 4 of my EX INQs over the past year! Finally approved! It was instant

Congrats, I must say I am upset with Wells Fargo, I applied for and was approved for a card with them on Dec 22, its Jan 9 and I still have yet to receive the card. WF is among the worst Ive ever encountered from a mailing documents/etc standpoint.

I definitely dont have my hopes set to high with them and I'm well aware at how much they suck according to most of the feedback from here and other places but I really wanted this card. Hopefully I can make the best of it, if not at least I get a nice sign up bonus. Smiley Happy

Sometimes you just have to be persistent but it's worth it when it finally pays off

Re: Wells Fargo Propel World Amex approved... Finally!!

Oh my God man! It is possible. Makes me not want to close my WF account at all just for this. I've had WF products since 2010 but didn't really get back into them until 2013 and besides having their crap $700 college card, I've never been able to get anything else. Their platinum card they wanted tax returns from me and I didn't wanna go through all that trouble either. 

 

Congrats!

 

I tried this card back in October and after tons of verification they ended up denying me.
