Our Verdict
Might be worth getting the One Key+ for the sign up bonus. I don’t see a lot of value in keeping the card(s) long term as usually the savings are overstated and booking third party means you miss out on elite benefits/elite night credits in most cases. Read these things everybody should know about Wells Fargo before applying and we will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
$200 bonus received with my first monthly statement, coded as “First Purchase Statement Credit.“
where did you get the $200 offer? All I see on WF website is $400 or $600 in OneKey Cash
Experian fico8 800
7/24, 5/12
Denied for Autograph Journey. Told too many accounts in 24 mos (Called in)
Immediately applied and got Approved for OneKey+ with 20k CL. This is my first store card and going to churn SUB. Will close after one year mark.
Not a big fan of store card but have a big payment coming in so want to get this done.
Did the OneKey and Choice double application as outlined by
Fay White . Approved for both. Immediately able to add to Apple Pay.
“OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo” good to know before I waste time with this
Correct. Not to mention that OneKeyCash can’t even be used to partially cover for flights, and it expires after 18 months of inactivity.
However, I just signed up for their no-requirement $200 bonus, which should make this card worthy to many more people. See: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/contact-us/#comment-1921489
based on some dps below, took the bait and applied for both Choice select and onekey+, both were approved with 19K with me at 9/24. thanks for the DPs here
WF really had to FedEx Overnight an approval letter and the card the next day in two separate packages. Even after showing an instant approval after applying online and emailing the approval documents.
Anybody see a bonus tracker for this card in the online account? I got one for the Autograph but not for this card.
Did WF provide the CC number/details online immediately after online approval? Or the ability to add it to digital wallet, before receiving the physical card?
Correct, you can add the card to a digital wallet right away and start using half of the CL (the full CL will be available when you activate the physical card).
Under the $200 cash + $150 OneKeyCash promotion I subscribed to, the OneKeyCash tracker is right at the end of the Balance Information page.
I already added the card to Apple Pay, spend $3, and paid $1 back. I’m now waiting on the $2 waiver at the end of the cycle and the $200 statement credit (hopefully in this order). I’ll happily pass on the $150 OneKeyCash “bonus” 🙂
Approved for One Key+. You cannot have both of the One Key cards. Application was pending before getting approved this morning. Applied right after getting denied for Autograph Journey. HP on Experian
no
Expedia OneKeyCash rewards don’t expire if you earn or redeem points at least once every 18 months. This includes making an eligible booking or redeeming rewards. If there’s no activity during this time period, all your points will expire and can’t be reinstated. Promotional rewards may have different expiration dates and terms.
Disappointed that the multipliers aren’t higher, considering the points can only be used in their portals — so it would be nice of the multipliers made it competitive with travel portal/partner combos. Initially I was intrigued because I book all my stay through hotels.com, VRBO, and Airbnb, so this covers 2/3 of those. After I get my next Chase card, I may try for the free one just for the SUB.
It’s still greyed out for me. Anyone else have this issue?
Did you find a work around? Trying to help another player with this and they’re in the same boat, every check now/application button is greyed out no matter how they access the site.
I kept trying and after a few days it was no longer greyed out for me.
Must be something account specific. Had my player use a new email on a new Expedia account and they were able to apply immediately.
