Wells Fargo Launches Autograph Journey Card, Adds Travel Transfer Partners

Wells Fargo’s credit card portfolio just got bigger thanks to the release of their newest card: the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey℠.

The travel-centric card comes with a $95 annual fee and a limited-time welcome offer: 60,000 bonus rewards points after spending $4,000 in the first three months. Cardholders will also receive the following benefits:

• Earn an unlimited 5 points per $1 on hotels, 4 points per $1 on airfare, 3 points per $1 on other travel and dining and 1 point per $1 on all other qualifying purchases.
  

• $50 annual statement credit for airfare purchases, usable when you book a flight directly with the airline or through the Wells Fargo travel portal.
  

• Travel protection benefits, including trip cancellation insurance up to $15,000 for lodging, flights and activities if the trip is canceled for a covered reason.
  

• Access to exclusive live concerts in small venues.

Points are worth 1 cent each when redeemed for a statement credit against travel charges through the Wells Fargo Rewards travel portal, shopping via PayPal and for third-party gift cards.
