No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I got my clearance.....yes!!!
I just got the e-mail too.
I notice they are still not offering the product for new applications.
My PLOC isn't very large ($7500), but I liked having it because you can't use credit cards for everything. Having access to cash is good sometimes.
After their initial letter, I went and opened one at a credit union (for a lower rate, no annual fee, and twice the CL), so I'm tempted to just close it anyway.
@redheadtempe36 I agree, always good to have! For the other credit union...how was the process...worth looking into? If so, can u share?
It was a local CU in Colorado, ENT (though the largest in the state).
11.4%. $15,000K CL. No annual fee.
My WF is $7500, 12.75%, $25 annual fee.
Neither has any kind of transaction or withdrawal fees.
For ENT, I applied on-line, they called to go over the terms with me (I was genuinely surprised they approved me for the $15K. I figured shoot for the moon and accept like $7500-$10K). They did not ask for paychecks or anything.
I had access to the line of credit within 3 days of applying.
Around FICO 730 at the time. They pulled Experian. I have very low utilization, but I also had like 8 inquires on Experian (why does everyone pull Experian? I have 0 on both TU and EQ ).
The only "complaint" I have for WF really is they don't allow it to be used for overdraft protection automatically. If I overdraft (which hasn't happened in a decade), I'm notified via text/e-mail, and I can advance funds, and WF won't charge me the overdraft fee if done same business day, but it won't happen automatically (like it would for a savings account).
I don't get that but whatever.
Thank you @redheadtempe36
Came across this today, https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/wells-fargo-reverses-controversial-banking-decision
It's obviously not official, so take it for what it's worth:
After receiving immense pushback, Wells Fargo says that it will not be closing personal lines of credit for people who have active accounts......If you currently have and use this credit line, then keep using it. If your account has been inactive for 12 months, you can either use it to activate it or call Wells Fargo and let them know. If you don’t reactivate it by Dec. 2, the account will be closed. The bank will not open new lines of personal credit.
I have always liked WF but this is concerning news. I recently opened a new account with a credit union and now I am wondering if I should move my direct deposit away from WF.
I got the confirmation letter in the mail...my $30K line will remain in tact...gonna frame that one!!

Not sure if you carried a balance or paid it off but did you note the comment about active accounts will be kept open. I was contemplating creating a transaction each month (like and in and out) or carry a $100 to generate a statement. Happy we're keeping it but didn't want them to close due to inactivity in the future. Makes me think theyll be keeping an eye on them. Thoughts?
I was always moving money to checking from the WF PLOC...then pay off the next month with the same money to keep it active. I'm sure that helps @cashorcharge. I've nit had a rainy day where I really needed the funds but incrementally over a period of time I move various acts in/out to keep statements going.
