[Rumor] Wells Fargo To Discontinue Propel Cards [Last Week]

According to reddit user LA-and-SF (citing internal document) Wells Fargo will be discontinuing the Propel cards on 4/19/21. It is expected that these cards will no longer be available to new cardholders but existing cardholders will be grandfathered. The Wells Fargo Propel World card is still available for sign up over the phone, it offers a 40,000 point bonus and is ranked one of our top credit card sign up bonuses. I’d recommend you sign up for this card ASAP if you don’t already have it as it could easily be pulled before that 4/19/21 date.

Wells Fargo is doing bad decisions again and again! By by Mex Propel and new visa will charge foreign transactions 3% fee that was free. Once more, WF is frustating old customers..Year ago I close my savings acct. , that was the worst apy of the market and now I will close my “new visa” credit card, as soon they send it…my credit score may be damaged for a couple of months but I will register my disapointment again. They are destroing 20 years + relationship. Poor judment / bad decisions = losing client fidelity.

What do you suppose is gonna happen now for existing Propel cardholders? Will they just cut the card benefits until we leave voluntarily? I would say they could purposely make the mobile app run poorly… but it’s already a POS.

I was told I couldn’t downgrade to Propel, only cancel Propel World a few months ago when my fee came due…the reasoning was something due to the pandemic and that sounded like total BS. McDonald’s said the same thing when they told me they weren’t serving breakfast all day anymore :/

Their entire credit card team online is closed. From approving applications to applying over the phone to PC, its a mess. Since the pandemic hit, wells fargo took this team and made it disappear within the first week. Im hoping it comes back, before i have to downgrade the card so i don’t have to pay the annual fee.

I like how when you call the number the message states, “due to an emergency order.” Sure that’s it, such a lame excuse.

Got a mailer a while ago, forgot about this card. Logged in to my WF account (existing checking account holder) and the offer for 20k after 1k spend popped up for the Propel Amex and I was able to apply on the spot. Approved for 5.5k Credit Limit. So it looks like if you were targeted with a mailer recently you may still have the chance to apply for the Amex Propel. Just my DP.

Indeed. Though you can still arrow over to it and reach the application page from this link. Who knows for how much longer though.
