No. Wells Fargo does not offer instant credit card numbers, so cardholders will have to wait until they receive their card in the mail before using it. Wells Fargo does offer the possibility of instant approval on its credit cards, though. That means an applicant could receive a decision within minutes of submitting the application. After that, it takes about 7 to 10 business days for the card to arrive. Wells Fargo does not offer the option to get expedited delivery.
