Credit card is subject to credit qualification.

Eligibility for introductory rate(s), fees, and bonus rewards offers

You may not be eligible for introductory annual percentage rates, fees, and/or bonus rewards offers if you opened a Wells Fargo credit card within the last 15 months from the date of this application and you received introductory APR(s), fees, and/or bonus rewards offers — even if that account is closed and has a $0 balance.

You may not qualify for an additional Wells Fargo credit card if you have opened a Wells Fargo credit card in the last 6 months.

  1. 1. To qualify for the $200 cash rewards bonus, a total of at least $1,000 in net purchases (purchases minus returns/credits) must post to your account within 3 months from the date your account is opened. These bonus cash rewards will show as redeemable within 1 – 2 billing periods after they are earned. Cash advances and balance transfers do not apply for purposes of this offer and may affect the credit line available for this offer. ATM transactions, cash advances of any kind, balance transfers, SUPERCHECKS™, cash equivalents such as money orders and prepaid gift cards, casino gaming chips, wire transfers, off-track wagers, lottery tickets, or bets or wagers transmitted over the internet, fees or interest posted to a linked account, including but not limited to returned payment fees, late fees, and monthly or annual fees, do not earn cash rewards. Refer to the Summary of the Wells Fargo Rewards® Program Terms and Conditions and Addendum for the Wells Fargo Active CashSM Card for details. ←back to content

  2. 2. 2% cash rewards are earned for every $1 spent in net purchases (purchases minus returns/credits) on the credit card account. ATM transactions, cash advances of any kind, balance transfers, SUPERCHECKS™, cash equivalents such as money orders and prepaid gift cards, casino gaming chips, wire transfers, off-track wagers, lottery tickets, or bets or wagers transmitted over the internet, fees or interest posted to a linked account, including but not limited to returned payment fees, late fees, and monthly or annual fees, do not earn cash rewards. Refer to the Summary of the Wells Fargo Rewards® Program Terms and Conditions and Addendum for the Wells Fargo Active CashSM Card for further details. ←back to content

  3. 3. Cellular Telephone Protection can reimburse the eligible Wells Fargo Consumer Credit Card cardholder for damage to or theft of a cell phone. This is supplemental coverage not otherwise covered by another insurance policy (for example, cell phone insurance programs, or your homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile, or employer’s insurance policies) and may be applied after all other insurance is exhausted. Reimbursement is limited to the repair or replacement of your original cell phone, less a $25 deductible with an allowable maximum of two paid claims per 12-month period. Each approved claim has a benefit limit of $600. This benefit does not cover cell phones that are lost (i.e. disappear without explanation). This protection is only available when cell phone bills are paid from your Wells Fargo Consumer Credit Card. The coverage does not apply if the cell phone bill is paid from a Wells Fargo Debit Card, Wells Fargo Business Credit Card, Wells Fargo Commercial Card or from the card that is linked to a Line of Credit. Coverage does not apply to cell phones that are rented, borrowed, or received as part of a prepaid plan. Electronic failure or issues related to the software of the device are not covered. Cellular Telephone Protection coverage begins the first day of the calendar month following your first cell phone billing on your Wells Fargo Consumer Credit Card, and remains in effect when you continue to charge your total monthly cell phone bill to your Wells Fargo Consumer Credit Card. This protection may not be equivalent to or better than other applicable coverage. For complete coverage benefits and exclusions regarding this protection go to www.wellsfargo.com/ctp.

    Note:

    Call your cellular provider (or sign on to their website) and request to set up automatic payments. Setting up automatic payments is not required to qualify for Cellular Telephone Protection; however, you need to pay your monthly cell phone bill with your eligible Wells Fargo Consumer Credit Card to get up to $600 protection. ←back to content

  4. 4. Availability may be affected by your mobile carrier's coverage area. Your mobile carrier's message and data rates may apply. ←back to content Return to Footnote 4

  5. 5. You won't be held responsible for any promptly reported unauthorized transactions. For more information, please review the applicable Consumer Credit Card Customer Agreement and Disclosure Statement. ←back to content

To be eligible for Redeem for Purchases, transactions must be $1 or more and you must have enough rewards to redeem for the entire amount of the transaction. Statement credits are applied to your outstanding balance and you are still required to make any payment due on your account. Rewards redeemed for purchases will be deducted from your rewards account balance immediately and all rewards redemptions are final. Statement credits will post to your account in 5 – 7 business days. Redeem for Purchases is offered subject to the Wells Fargo Rewards Program Terms and Conditions and the Addendum for the Active CashSM Card. For additional details visit Wells Fargo: Rewards Terms, and select Wells Fargo Active CashSM Card from the drop down.

There may be a maximum limit on the dollar amount of the rewards redemptions for cash that you can make each day at a Wells Fargo ATM. ←back to content

  9. 9. Pay with Rewards (“PWR”) feature allows you to redeem your available Wells Fargo Rewards® (“rewards”) online through participating PWR merchants towards qualifying purchase transactions with your eligible Wells Fargo credit card (“card”) account. To be eligible for PWR feature, cardholders must first verify the PWR sharing preference setting is enabled. This preference can be set at any time by going to Pay with Rewards Preferences. When your PWR sharing preference is enabled, all cardholders who use and have access to your card, including authorized users on your card, will be able to view and redeem the rewards associated with that card through the PWR feature when the card is provided by you or your authorized users to a PWR merchant. Rewards are not earned on any portion of a transaction redeemed through the PWR feature. Transactions qualifying as eligible for PWR redemption may change at any time and without notice. Rewards redeemed through PWR will be deducted from your rewards account balance immediately and all PWR redemptions are subject to the Return/Cancelation Policy of the merchant. Refer to the Wells Fargo Rewards® Program Terms and Conditions and the Addendum for the Wells Fargo Active CashSM Card, the participating PWR merchant User Agreement, and the Pay with Rewards Terms and Conditions for more details. ←back to content
