Wells Fargo Announces New Credit Card And Transfer Partners

March 21, 2024 at 04:55 EDT By Spencer Howard

Update: The Wells Fargo Autograph Journey Card is now available for application.

Let's take a quick look at the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey Card which comes with a reasonable $95 annual fee.

Welcome Bonus

You can earn 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in 3 months.

Bonus Categories

  • 5x on hotels
  • 4x on airlines
  • 3x on other travel (does not include rideshare, taxis, transit)
  • 3x on dining
  • 1x on everything else

Benefits

  • $50 statement credit on airfare
  • Cell phone protection
  • Lost luggage coverage
  • Trip cancellation coverage
  • No foreign transaction fees

Transfer Partners

The transfer ratios are 1:1 unless noted otherwise.

  • Aer Lingus AerClub
  • Air France-KLM Flying Blue
  • Avianca LifeMiles
  • British Airways Executive Club
  • Iberia Plus
  • Choice Privilege (1:2)

Supplementary Cards

You can pool points earned from the Active Cash (2x on everything) and the Wells Fargo Autograph Card with this card.

Points Wire Note:

The ability to earn 5x transferable points on hotel stays stands out for me and 4x on flights only trails the 5x you can earn with the Amex Platinum. I'll be curious to see what kind of trip delay coverage the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey Card offers.

While it's great to see Wells Fargo finally add transfer partners, the options are a bit light. LifeMiles covers Star Alliance, Flying Blue covers SkyTeam, and British Airways + Iberia cover oneworld. Hopefully, they'll make progress on adding additional partners.

Considering this card has a $95 annual fee, it's a pretty impressive offering.

Of course, Wells Fargo's reputation has taken quite a few hits in the last several years so it'll be interesting if that makes it tough for them to gain a foothold in the points community.
