Wells Fargo Launches ‘Wells Fargo Autograph Journey’ Card With 60,000 Points Signup Bonus

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:

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.

does this mean you can double dip the airline credit in the first couple months if you use it before this point?

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?

oh no! i am guessing Wells Fargo is going the CSR/CSP route like Chase. Please update what’s in the letter. Thanks

Honestly, decent card for a frequent traveler with net cost of $49
