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.

FYI to all - I did 1k in purchases and never got my rewards.

Edit: Just spoke with rewards center. Agent stated they think it's because I paid with my purchases through paypal and their system is not recognizing paypal as a legit purchase. (The T&C for eligible purchases don't say anything about paypal though). Was escalated up for further review. I wouldn't use paypal with this cc as of now if you're trying to get the 200$ bonus

So Wells Fargo won't honor your purchases using PayPal?

Simply earning 2% cashback on everything purchase by Wells Fargo Active Card seems the highest cashback in the current credit card market, doesn't it?

They literally just got fined another $3.7B this week. That is different from the cross selling scandal. This was for just erroneously charging fees

I got a letter last week that my card is coming instead of just sending me the actual card.
