Update 3/20/24: Card is live at this link. We learned today that the 3x category is on both travel and restaurants. Updated below. Also note, the $50 airline credit resets on the first of the month after the annual fee posts.
Update 3/6/24: Full details have now been released:
- Sign up bonus
- 60k points points when you spend $4,000 within three months
- 70k points when you spend $4,000 within three months for Wells Fargo Premier clients
- $95 annual fee
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 5x on hotels
- 4x on airlines
- 3x on travel and restaurants
- 1x on all other purchases
- $50 annual statement credit for airfare purchases
- Ability to transfer to airline and hotel programs starting April 4, 2024 (1:1 unless otherwise stated)
- Avianca LifeMiles
- British Airways Executive Club, Iberia Plus, Aer Lingus Aer Club
- Air France KLM Flying Blue
- Choice Privileges (1:2)
- March 9 launch date.
Seems like it’ll be worth getting for the sign up bonus but not worth keeping long term.
Update 2/2/24: It looks like this card will launch in March with two different sign up bonuses:
- 60k points points when you spend $4,000 within three months
- 70k points when you spend $4,000 within three months for Wells Fargo Premier clients
Looks like you’ll also be able to pool points between different Wells Fargo cards.
Original post: We just posted that Wells Fargo filed trademarks for the Autograph Journey & Autograph Beyond. We now have confirmation that the Autograph Journey is a new card that will be released. Details are as follows:
- $95 annual fee
- 60,000 points after $4,000 in spend within the first four months
- 3x points on Entertainment, Food/Drink Establishments, Fuel/Charging Stations, Telecommunication Services, Transport, Travel (same as current Autograph card)
I’d be beyond surprised if the Autograph Beyond isn’t a new card (well it could very well be a rebranding of the current card). 60,000 points has the potential to be very lucrative if there is also 1:1 transfer partners.
$50 Airline Credit
Hat tip to reader hunter
WF will not pull a report from another credit bureau if the report they want to pull is frozen. I initially tried freezing Experian and Transunion to force an Equifax pull but was declined and the letter said it was because my EX was frozen. I then tried freezing TU to see if perhaps that would satisfy them but I got the same message. I eventually relented and unfroze my EX and had my app reprocessed. I was approved after faxing them copies of my most recent paystubs.
Is the extra $100 for wells Fargo premier dead?
No.
Not able to find official wording, is it still the case “70k points when you spend $4,000 within three months for Wells Fargo Premier clients”
Yes. The increased offer should pop up for you when you go to apply while logged in.
I logged in, can’t find the 70K offer. Where di you find it?
2 airline credit DPs, both worked (2 people)
-UA travel bank
-UA ticket purchase
“the $50 airline credit resets on the first of the month after the annual fee posts”
does this mean you can double dip the airline credit in the first couple months if you use it before this point?
Were you able to double dip it?
Neither of my players wanted to try, one has a flight coming up end of the year so they want to put their bag charge on it to try
Pending then denied next day, 3/24, they pulled TU and I’m 820 TU and I’m only 1/6 & 2/12 for inquiries on TU. WF checking customer for 14 years, Premier customer with 350k in brokerage. Only 1 card with them (Signify business). I don’t really understand why they denied me. What a joke of a company.
Has anyone redeemed the points for statement credit? Is it 1pt = 1cent?
Denied for this card. I have the Autograph and Active Cash. No card opened since February. Hard pull on Experian. They said they would send me a letter. I applied for the One Key+ card right after and had that go pending and then approved today.
DP: lol/24. Have multiple WF cards including autograph, one biz card, and a checking account. Opened WF OneKey and Choice cards earlier today for their signup bonuses. Instantly approved for 30k CL on this card. Credit score somewhere around 770
I have a WF business card with 25k limit, should I close it before applying for this to increase my chances of approval?
I am in the same boat and have the same question. Did you end up applying for this card?
