These things are very unlikely to happen again. WF got hit with tons of fees and penalties and invested hefty in their risk compliance departments This whole thing sent a shockwave across the industry that also benefited banks' employees. Tellers don't need to aggressively cross sell bank product anymore.

Good all-rounder for those looking for a generalist card and better than Apple Card for merchants who don't take Apple Pay (there are a sizable bunch). Points are awarded monthly and with a $25 minimum for statement credit or check back (Direct Deposit isn't possible unless you have a bank account with them). Wells Fargo's latest pay with points option (I think inspired by Chase Pay Yourself Back) can get around this threshold - redemption is 1 cent to 1 point and points balance must cover the entire amount (no partial offsets). Cell Phone Protection is a good plus, few cards offer a higher rewards rate on top of this perk.

Another thing - Wells Fargo act funny if you pay too many times a month online (I think over 3 payments blocks you from making online payments for the rest of the statement period), but you can always pay over the automated phone system if you exceed this limit.

FNBO also has a 2% cash back Visa with a pre-qualification link. Might be helpful for those who don't have perfect credit and are unsure if they'll get approved. It even tells you the credit limit they'll pre-qualify you for. I got approved yesterday; it'll be my highest limit card so far.

I currently have a Wells Fargo Platinum Rewards card that only gives 1% cash back, and my account info says that I can switch to this one with no need to reapply. Is there any reason not to? My APR and credit limit would all stay the same, but I feel like there must be some catch.

Quote from strayalive :
I went from a Wells Fargo Visa Signature to Active Cash and saw that I was losing a few benefits but nothing really noteworthy. It was just a backup card I barely used as it was. My rate stayed the same at 12% variable which was the important thing.

My one gripe is that the card is... fugly. Its hideous, and doesn't even have the stagecoach. Its probably my best 2% card now though.

Do they pull your credit when you switch?

Not if you're switching from a Visa... if you had one of their Propel AmEx cards they might though.

I just applied for this card on 9/5 and the pull hit Transunion according to Credit Karma. I also didn't get approved right away and I received my card today. I had first received a letter from them stating my credit score was a factor in their decision. The account was opened without any further interaction and it had a very generous limit.

If you haver an older WF such as the CASH WISE card, this may not be an upgrade depending on your credit card strategy.

I have the CASH WISE converting to this card may not be a great upgrade.

The ACTIVE CASH loses most if not all of the CASH WISE cards travel and consumer protection.
(CW - CASH WISE) (AC - Active Cash)
Travel and Emergency Assistance service - CW = YES -- AC = NO
Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver - CW = YES -- AC = NO
Lost Luggage Reimbursement - CW = YES -- AC = NO
Roadside Dispatch - CW = YES -- AC = NO
Trip Cancellation and Interruption - CW = YES -- AC = NO
1Million Worldwide Common Carrier Travel Accident Insurance - CW = YES -- AC = NO
Extended Warranty Protection - CW = YES -- AC = No

If you have other cards that have protections and just want this for the 2% CBthen maybe.

I have Chase Sapphire and Flex and I was going to convert my CW to the AC but I would prefer to keep my Protections over .5%
