Wells Fargo Customers: Check for a 100,000-Point Offer on the Autograph Journey Card

If you’re a Wells Fargo Premier customer, check your account’s offers page to see if you’re eligible to take advantage of an elevated 100,000-point welcome bonus on the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey℠ Card.

If you are eligible, the card becomes the Wells Fargo Premier Autograph Visa Infinite Card, while the rest of us who aren’t will continue to know it as the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey card.

Here’s everything you need to know.

100K-Point Offer on the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey Card for Select Customers

If you’re a Wells Fargo Premier customer, check whether you’re eligible for a 100,000-point welcome bonus on the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey card.

For those eligible, the card’s welcome bonus offer becomes:

• Earn 100,000 points when you spend $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.

That’s considerably better than the publicly available offer on the card:

• Earn 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in purchases in the first 3 months.

In order to be eligible, you first need to be a Wells Fargo Premier customer, which means you have at least $250,000 in qualifying deposits at Wells Fargo or have a Premier Checking account, which comes with a $35 monthly fee if you don’t maintain the $250,000 balance. Next, while you can see your offer online, you have to apply in person at a Wells Fargo branch.

If you’re successful, you’ll be given a card with a different name, the Wells Fargo Premier Autograph card, and a different look. However, the card has the same earning and benefits structure as the everyday version of the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey card. Here are the highlights:

• Earn 5x points on hotel purchases.
• Earn 4x points on airfare.
• Earn 3x points on restaurant and other travel purchases.
• Earn 1x points on all other purchases.
• Earn a $50 annual statement credit with an airline purchase of at least $50.
• Access to travel protections like primary rental car insurance, lost baggage insurance, trip cancellation/interruption protection, in addition to cell phone protection, and more.

The typical welcome bonus offer for this card is much lower, though it comes with the same minimum spending requirements. We value Wells Fargo Rewards points at 1.5 cents apiece, meaning 60,000 points are worth $900, while 100,000 are worth a healthy $1,500.

Final Thoughts

If you meet the requirements for being a Wells Fargo Premier customer, check your account to see if you’re eligible to earn a 100,000-point bonus on the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey card. The Wells Fargo Rewards program continues to make slow but steady improvements, so arming yourself with 100,000 points from a single welcome bonus could go a long way toward achieving your travel goals.
