Do you have to have a bank account with Wells Fargo to get their secured credit card?

I have Bank of America and have had them for 4 years, no problems. Love the bank. But they have a high annual fee for a secured credit card, so I don’t want to go through them.

Wells Fargo is cheap. I know I can’t do it online or over the phone, but if I went in person, would they give me one without having a bank account with them?

Thanks!

I have an offer from a credit card co with a low interest rate, 2% lower than my home equity loan interest. I would love to get rid of the horrible 8.75% home loan interest on $12,000. What to do?

I am going to ask another question regarding which CC should I add to my credit card profile to add to my rewards. I have excellent credit, pay my balance in full each month, and I use my CC to pay for everything I can to rack up points/miles etc.

I am at a point where I want to increase my points and miles so there are some options. The question is, what is too much. I basically share a VISA with my wife, and have an older VISA that i keep. I realize that you should keep older credit cards for history. I want to add at least one AM/EX either the Starwood points, or the Delta Miles. I also might switch our Cap1 card to the signature to get 2 points for every $1 spent, instead of 1.25 for $1. That is a new card, not a switch. And recently, I have received letters for UNITED miles (20,000 bonus) and AA Miles (21,000 Bonus). I would love to use those just to add to my miles on those flights. Could I add 3-4 cards without hurting my excellent credit? I will not rack up debt.
