Update 9/1/26: Reportedly, the special bonuses for WF Premier members are now expired
Update 7/14/26: According to FM some people have been getting approved without Premier status.
Prior posts for context:
- In March 2024, Wells Fargo launched their Autograph Journey card with 60,000 points signup bonus. See this post: Wells Fargo Launches ‘Wells Fargo Autograph Journey’ Card With 60,000 Points Signup Bonus.
- In September 2025, some Wells Fargo Premier relationship customers were seeing 100k bonus on that card. See this post: [Premier Only] Wells Fargo Autograph Journey 100,000 Points.
- In February 2026, a couple of weeks ago there was a rumor of a new Wells Fargo card which looks very much like a rebranded Autograph card. See this post: [Rumor] Wells Fargo To Launch A New Card On 2/6.
The new cards launched today, and there are two card variants to the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey Visa Card:
- Wells Fargo Premier Autograph Visa Infinite Card – for clients with assets of $250k+
- The Private Bank By Invitation Visa Signature Card – for clients with assets of ?
Both cards are the same and both share all card details as the Autograph Journey, along with these enhancements:
- 100k signup bonus instead of 60k
- The Premier comes in black and gold color, the Private Bank comes with some other card art. (Metal card like the regular Autograph.)
- Visa Infinite benefits (includes auto enhanced auto rental insurance in the US of up to 31 days versus 15 days of Journey Visa Signature)
- $120 Global Entry credit
- Trip Delay protection, Extended Warranty protection, and Purchase security/protection
We don’t have any direct links for the Premier and Private Bank cards, they’re available within the login for relationship clients. Some people are only seeing it in the Wells Fargo app. (You can see mention of these cards, with no details, on the Wells Fargo site here.)
Many of us have a Premier relationship with Wells Fargo from the $2,500/$3,500 brokerage bonus offer.
Has anyone tried United Travelbank for the $50 airline credit on this card?
I tried to upgrade my everyday checking account online to premier it says not qualfied to upgrade anyone experience this before?
do you for premioer if they still offer first months monthly fee free?
Did you get any update?
My terms state “This offer is available for customers with a qualifying Wells Fargo Premier Checking account that is open and in good standing.” I’m personally not willing to risk the $1000 for the extra 5 months (3 months spend + 2 months to post) hold time on $250k of equities.
> How do y’all get automatically approved for this card? … they requested a 4506C I applied earlier this year for the 100k Autograph Journey offer, went through the 4506C game faxing in my tax returns and IRS consent in-branch. Still denied. Today I applied via app and was instantly approved. Unclear why this time was different. > I have over 630k in my new premier checking account Surely you mean your brokerage account? You’re giving them a $1500+/mo loan with the float on that balance!
does closing the premier checking reset the 12/24 month wait for the next churn? or is this product in a category all by itself?
What is the advantage of the WF Autograph Private Bank card? I don’t see any.
My guess is you have to call, and you probably don’t explicitly say you want the Visa card with no fees. You say you’re sitting on all this money and are thinking about moving it into WF PB and want to see what they have. And then you get in, get the card, fool around, maybe pay their 2% AUM or whatever it is on some chunk of money and see what happens and quietly move yourself out. That’s been my experience poking around with other PB offerings and talking to people involved in them- it’s often a very human process in terms of what is and isn’t allowed.
Anyone has information on how to get the private bank Visa card with no fee? I have some asset that I can move to WF.
It was 100k offer for premier checking clients only. Standard bonus was 60k. I see a 100k bonus tracker for the newly approved premiere infinite card, so I assume I can get another 100k bonus upon meeting the $4k spend requirements.
Which workaround did you use, specifically?
They had bumped it up to 100k before or after you had already received the 60k bonus? And the card remained the autograph journey standard or did it change to the premier autograph?
No. The recently approved card is the premier autograph infinite, which I offered 100k bonus for premiere checking clients on WF app. The card back in Oct was standard Autograph Journey card, but they bumped up the bonus from 60k to 100k for premiere checking clients at the time.
Your autograph journey from October 2025 for 100k was the same one as this premiere one? This current approval from 7/14 is for a duplicate?
Exactly. It does.
Restablished premiere status for the $2500 promo month ago. 7/11: Applied for Infite with 100k promo via WF app. Pending 7/14: Received approved email around 12pm. Card shows up on WF online Currently hold Autograph Journey from Oct, 2025 100k sign up and another personal card. Former biz signify holder, but cancelled card about 5 months ago.
How do you get 5.25%? Is it a 3% on Airbnb (Travel) and you have a 75% bonus because of preferred rewards? Basically, I guess I am asking if Airbnb codes as 3%
Even better thanks!
Biz CCR is $50k annual cap.
Was approved for 60k points about a week ago and waiting on the card in the mail. Now I got to know the workaround, anyone knows if it is still possible to upgrade my current checking account to premier and request the 60k to be bumped to 100K? TIA.
Thanks! Figure out my BofA biz ccr with preferred honors for business is best 5.25% with ?$25k annual cap.
Just an FYI for people: it is my understanding that the currently-available Signify Business Cash is not a points-earning business card, so the above does not apply. You would need a previously-offered card.
You get 3% for Airbnb because it’s 3% for 3x points for other travel.
FYI: If you have a point earning business card and can accumulate $2,000 (= 200,000 points) in rewards then you can redeem for $2,722.22: $2,500 when redeeming 200,000 points +$222.22 because of a 10% bonus for each redemption. If P1 doesn’t have enough to reach 200,000 points, then P2 could transfer points or $ to P1. P1 and P2 Got Autograph and two Business cash cards (SSN & EIN), so we each got more than $2,722.22 (since we also got points for the purchases)
How do y’all get automatically approved for this card? I applied in the branch twice. Once last year when I had over 250k as a premier client. This year, I applied again but both times, they requested a 4506C even though I have over 630k in my new premier checking account.
Anyone churn this card yet with premier status?
It says on the Wells Fargo checking accounts page that the first 6 months are fee free on the Premier Checking account (it was on the page where you compare the different account types)
do you have to wait to bonus posted to downgrade premier checking account?
Got this card 2 months ago. -upgraded Checking to Premier (only had $1000 in account) -Applied for card -Got bonus -Downgraded checking account i never ended up paying a premier checking monthly fee
