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.

Can the points be redeemed to Wells Fargo bank account or statement credit to the credit card? I do not travel much and do not have need for redeeming for flight mileage.
Also after getting the bonus, is there a no-fee version of the card that we can downgrade to?
I applied and was denied for this card in Sept 2024 and then reapplied in Dec 2024 by going into the branch and having my premier banker submit the app for me, and I got approved for a monster 30k limit. Success!
Anyone know if the $50 air credit works for Spirit? thanks!
.
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
No double dip in the first couple months, bag wasn't reimbursed
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.
