Re: Does anyone like WF credit cards?

Look how quickly the love pours in for Wells Fargo!! They have always been friendly but inflexible with their credit cards. They say they value having a banking relationship but regardless their cards are after thoughts. Propel is good for the first year but not afterwards unless they waive the AF. Some people have really good experiences with WF.

Re: Does anyone like WF credit cards?

They gave me my first ever card when no one else would, and with a decent limit at the time, so I have a soft spot for them. Now that I have a lot of other cards I've moved much of my spend away from them, but I still think it's nice to have a card with them if you bank there. And I've had a good experience with my branch so I enjoy banking there.

 

The cell phone theft/damage coverage is a nice perk of the card though, I'd keep a cell phone bill there for that.

I don't know how Wells Fargo is a thing.  They wouldn't give me a good Mortgage rate, wouldn't give me a good auto loan rate.  Won't auto increase my credit card limit.  All the while I'm pulling more and more money out of their bank and putting it into a credit union that is giving me a 3.25 APY.  If I didn't have an HSA with Wells Fargo I probably would have left by now.


 

Where and how are you getting 3.25 APY?


I'm also interested in hearing the answer to this.

Re: Does anyone like WF credit cards?

I seem to always be the odd man out when it comes to WF on these forums.  I've always had a great experience with them.  CSR's are knowledgable and helpful and every time I ask for a CLI, its granted. Their platinum card also happens to be a true chip and pin card, for what thats worth.  Ive also had mortgages with them in the past and have had no issues.  I have the total opposite experience as most with WF.  If you have specific questions, Im happy to give my experience with WF.

Re: Does anyone like WF credit cards?

WFB has always been a traditional, conservative institution that focused attention on its retail bank and mortgage divisions. Cards were never a big focus for them so they never developed a true competency in the business. As the industry has shifted more toward cards WFB has been dragged kicking and screaming into the new reality. As other revenue sources have been drying up within the bank they have placed a renewed focus on the card business. Of course, they have 2 major challenges. While they want to reach scale with the card business, they are not looking to be a "national" issuer but rather to cross sell to their existing customers. Secondly...as previosly mentined...they never developed a true competency in the card business so....their products while improved are still paltry compared to rivals.
