Wells Fargo CCs?

Are Wells Fargo credit cards any good?  Also, how difficult is it to get CCs from them?  Thanks.

IMHO, Wells Fargo cards are not that great. Terrible rewards, no respect for their long term clients. I've had a platinum visa with them for 5 years and they really haven't impressed. I recommend you go with a Chase or a BOA card. Rewards are a lot better and those are companies that will take better care of you. That is, if you're looking for a card with a major bank.

i applied for them back in June.  i applied for them because i knew they were going to pull TU for me.  my TU FICO here at that time was 740 and no inq whatsoever so i thought i'd have a fighting chance.  and at the time, the 2 cc's i had (cap one and BBRZ MC) was just PIF, but i got denied for their rewards visa card.  called to ask for recon.  denied on recon as well.  rep told me that for some reason, they had a problem pulling my report (i call BS on that one) so they looked at my banking history with them.  denied because rep said that my "deposit history was unpredictable", meaning i don't push money in my account as much as they'd want me to.  In my opinion, unless they are your primary bank, i won't say it's hard to get approved...rather frustrating.  they're not my primary bank but i keep several hundred dollars between my checking/savings accounts because they have a cheap fee ($3.50 compared to $10 at some places) for international money remittance, a service they offer that i need since wife and i send money to her family back home.

 

but yeah, they based their decision on my app wholy on my relation$hip with them $$$-wise.  oh i call BS on them not being able to see/pull my report because my TU got hit with a HP from TU.

I have the Visa Signature from them and will keep it, as it's by far my oldest card. Ever since they started not giving me the more or less standard 1% in rewards anymore, I have hardly ever used it. Even before, they charged you for the rewards program (not sure if this is still the case) if you didn't have a close banking relationship with them. I would not get the card just to have it.

yeah as far as the big boy banks go +1

 

Amex may also be worth considering, depending on what you are looking for from a rewards card/ ccc.
