[rumor] -- Wells Fargo To Launch A New Card On 2/6

Reader Frank recently went into a Wells Fargo branch to apply for the 100,000 point Autograph Journey bonus. The employee stated that a new card would be launching on 2/6 and “it was the same cost but better”.

The 2/6 date is the conversion date of Bilt cards to a Wells Fargo Autograph Visa Credit Card so it’s very possible they were confused regarding that. The only thing that makes me think that isn’t the case is that the Autograph Journey has a $95 annual fee whereas the Autograph is no annual fee.

Would be very surprised if Wells Fargo was launching something better value than the 100,000 point Autograph Journey though as that offer is currently restricted to Premier clients. It’s not unusual to see card issuers offer increased value after losing a portfolio though and Bilt was a massive money loser for Wells Fargo so they will certainly have extra money to spend. "

The posts in the comments section seem to imply that this new card is similar to the Autograph Journey but targeted at Premier Banking clients with a higher SUB. It does not appear to be the previously rumored upmarket Autograph Beyond card.

The application invite showed up when I logged in online or in the app. Approved with a 729 FICO, $15k limit. Available to customers who have a WF Premier collection of products, I use the personal banking as well as multiple businesses. Sign up bonus is pretty straightforward as of 3/27/2026. 100k points for $4k spend in 90 days.

The cards also showed up faster than any card I've ever had, AMEX Platinum and JPM Ritz-Carlton included. Less than 24 hours.
