State: SD
Product: Credit card or prepaid card

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, I paid {$1500.00} towards an approximately {$2900.00} balance on my Wells Fargo Card. I received my statement dated XXXX and it reflects that payment, however the bulk of the payment went to the 2 promotional 0 % balances as opposed to going towards the regular purchases coming in at 21.40 %. The 0 % does not expire until XXXX of 2023. The large payment was meant to pay down the 21.4 % interest. In all my dealings with credit cards, the payment has always gone towards the larger interest rate. I called the bank and spoke to a customer service rep on XX/XX/2023 and he didn't really explain it very well why this happened. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was transferred to a gal who explained that it was because I am still using that card for purchases. I said I use it because it has Rewards that I like to cash in for gift cards. She said that I should get ANOTHER rewards card with them for that if I don't want my payments to go towards my promotional balances 1st. This does not seem right to me. I don't feel I should have to have to Rewards cards with the same bank in order to have my payments applied properly.
