Niceeee! The AutoGraph card seem to be a pretty decent card.
Looks like your name changes also!

From Henry Wells to Mary Wells
I also just got letter in the mail from Wf about Propel changing to Autograph, will need to up date my cell phone payment to the new card. Also may need to apply for the Bread Amex, because will not have any cards that work on Amex plat form.
@Roger1071549 I received identical snail-mail correspondence. Last date to use my Propel card is August 03, 2023 (converting to Autograph May 24; 2023, so Propel swipes will no doubt incure Autogrpah benefits during the overlap)
****Bummer IMO. I am unique in preferring the AMEX network.****
*This IMO is part of the dumbing down of the once premium and hybrid-metal Propel AMEX card.
-A couple years ago (ish) we lost the AMEX bonus perks.
-Then we lost extended warranty and similiar.
-And now we're dumbed down to a 100% plastic Visa Signature card (like every other mid-tier card).
-I anticipate the dumbing down of the card further as we continue forward, there is no doubt a change from a once strong card that had premium benefits at a tremendous value with no AF, to a mediocre card that continues to offer less.
The Propel journey certainly is not as bad as the bait/switch some of us dummies experienced with the Uber/Barclay drama.
Overall, I've appreciated the Propel. My only relationship with WF, the card today is not what I signed up for. Instead continually dumbed-down. I'll also note its my only card that I have not received a CLI, in spite of moderate use and *always* PIF. Not a lot of LUV from WF, certainly their perogative, but I'll be taking my swipes elsewhere.
Not sure if the plastic Visa Signature replacement (yawn) will come out of the mailing envelope, but perhaps it'll get as far as my sock drawer. There are better VISA Signature options out there IMO.
I think I'm done with WF, I truly don't think they want to be in consumer lending. We can look to their slicing personal loans and the ever-present rumors that cards would be discontinued as validation.
See you in the rearview mirror.

Howdy, hey. I know losing the Amex offers and such was unfortunate, but I just wanted to let you know that the Autograph is also hybrid-metal and now gives more cash back rewards on cell phone bills than the Propel did all while continuing to give some of the highest ($$$) amounts of cell phone insurance coverage offered by a no-AF card. Also, I never got an auto CLI with the Propel either, but, after carrying a 25%-50% utilization balance for about 10 months during my 0% intro APR period, I received an auto CLI on my Autograph nearly as soon as I paid it off last week. I know it's all about personal preferences and what works for each of us, but I just wanted to share that it's not all grey clouds and rainstorms *coughBarclaysUbercough*.

@MachoHombre, I hold both the Propel and The Autograph,
I can tell you the Autograph is not a 100% plastic card.
It is built EXACTLY like the Propel ....FWIW
[Reminder] We are going a sly bit off topic with the dialogue regarding the cards' aesthetics, composition, etc.
In an effort to end the off topic dialogue, I will volunteer that the Propel and the Autograph each weigh 10 grams. (I have pics of these weigh-ins that can be uploaded to Smorgasbord if anyone wants.)
Back to the main discussion please.

Call WF and transfer your credit limit from the Propel to the Autograph and close the Propel. You can combine them from what I've seen.
FWIW, Propel card holders may now be seeing information about the Propel Amex to Autograph Visa conversion in their online accounts. This morning when I checked my Propel account I saw the following information:
"We're converting your card to a Wells Fargo Autograph Visa Card on 5/22/23."
"Keep using your current card until your new card arrives."
"Here's the timeline:
*May 22, 2023: We'll begin converting and mailing out cards.
*August 4, 2023: We'll deactivate your current card."
"Don't want a new card? You can call us at the number on the back of your card to reject these changes and close the account."
