Fine print
- Transfers points 1:1 to Wells Fargo transfer partners.
- Unlike the no-fee Autograph, Journey has no 3X on gas, transit, streaming or phone plans. Those earn 1X.
- No intro APR. Regular APR is 19.74%, 25.74% or 28.74% variable (prime 7.00%), from terms correct as of September 2026. Terms still give an 'introductory' BT fee of 3% (min $5) for 120 days, then up to 5% (min $5).
- downgradeTo uses Wells Fargo's 'Switch My Credit Card' product change. Wells Fargo does not publish an eligibility list, so availability can vary by account.
