About Wells Fargo Rewards Points
Wells Fargo Rewards Points are the transferable currency earned by the Autograph Journey Visa card, launched in February 2024. This makes Wells Fargo the most recent of the major US banks to enter the transferable points space - and the program has arrived with a surprisingly strong partner list for a first-generation product. Ten airline programs transfer at a full 1:1 ratio, including Air Canada Aeroplan, British Airways Avios, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles, and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
The Autograph Journey earns 5× on hotels, 4× on airlines, 3× on other travel, and 1× on everything else - making it one of the more competitive earning rates among premium travel cards. All transfers process within 24–48 hours. The program also includes a $50 annual airline credit and a $95 annual fee, positioning it squarely as a mid-premium card that punches above its fee class when you maximize both the earn rate and the transfer partners.
For points and miles enthusiasts, the most interesting aspect of Wells Fargo Rewards is the combination of partners you cannot access through Chase or Amex alone. Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, and Avianca LifeMiles all transfer in at 1:1 - programs with some of the most undervalued sweet spots in business and first class. As one of the newest programs, Wells Fargo is likely to continue adding partners, and monitoring this page for transfer bonuses is worthwhile as the program establishes its promotional calendar.

Which Wells Fargo cards earn Rewards Points?

Best Wells Fargo transfer partners
Not all transfer partners deliver the same value. These three consistently offer the best cents-per-point returns for Rewards Points.
Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
Miles&SmilesOne of the most undervalued programs in the world for Star Alliance and partner awards. US to Europe in business class can be booked for 45,000 miles one-way - a rate that is 30–50% cheaper than United MileagePlus or Lufthansa Miles & More on the same routes.
Sweet spot
New York to Istanbul in Turkish business class (lie-flat, 5-star catering) for as little as 45,000 miles - one of the best value-per-mile redemptions in aviation.
Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer
KrisFlyerConsistently ranked among the world's best airlines. Singapore Suites and Business Class are aspirational redemptions that are difficult to access through most US programs. KrisFlyer seats on Singapore metal are genuinely bookable and offer extraordinary value.
Sweet spot
San Francisco to Singapore in Singapore Business Class for 90,000 miles one-way - a seat that retails for $6,000–$8,000 in cash.
Air Canada Aeroplan
AeroplanThe most versatile Star Alliance program for US travelers. Fixed award chart, zero fuel surcharges, stopover for +5,000 points. The ANA Japan business class sweet spot (55,000 points one-way) is accessible from Wells Fargo via a 1:1 transfer to Aeroplan.
Sweet spot
ANA Business Class from the US West Coast to Tokyo for 55,000 Aeroplan points one-way - a cash fare of $3,500–$5,000.
Why earn Rewards Points?
Fresh Program, Strong Partner List
Wells Fargo launched with 10 airline partners in 2024 - more than Chase had after its first few years. The mix is particularly well-chosen for international premium cabin travel: Aeroplan, Avios, Flying Blue, KrisFlyer, Miles&Smiles, and Virgin Atlantic cover Star Alliance, oneworld, and SkyTeam comprehensively at 1:1.
4× on Airline Purchases
The Autograph Journey earns 4× points on all airline purchases - one of the highest earn rates on airline spend among non-co-branded cards. Every dollar spent booking flights directly adds to a balance you can transfer to premium cabin programs at 1:1.
No Transfer Fees, Full 1:1 Ratio
Every Wells Fargo partner transfers at exactly 1:1 with no conversion fees. Unlike Amex (which charges an excise tax on US transfers) or some programs with sub-1:1 ratios, Wells Fargo keeps the math simple: 50,000 points become 50,000 miles, every time.
Growing Partner List
As the newest major US transferable currency, Wells Fargo is actively expanding its program. The first year delivered 10 airline partners and a hotel program. New additions are likely - checking this page regularly for newly confirmed partners and inaugural transfer bonus promotions is recommended.
How to transfer Rewards Points to partners
Follow these steps every time. The golden rule: confirm award availability before moving a single point - transfers are one-way and irreversible.
- 1
Find the award first
Search for award availability on the airline or hotel program's website before transferring. Note the exact flight, date, cabin, and miles required. Award space disappears - transfers cannot be reversed.
- 2
Check for an active transfer bonus
Check the Current Bonuses section above. A +25% bonus means 40,000 points becomes 50,000 miles - free miles that require zero extra spending.
- 3
Execute the transfer from Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo
Official transfer pageLog in to your Wells Fargo account → navigate to Rewards Points → select "Transfer to travel partners" → choose the airline or hotel program → enter your loyalty membership number and the number of points to transfer → confirm. Keep your loyalty account number ready before you start.

Book the award immediately
As soon as miles post to your loyalty account, book the award. Partner award availability can vanish within hours. Have your passport details and co-pay card ready before starting the booking.
How much are Rewards Points worth?
Point value varies dramatically by redemption type. Transferring to the right partner at the right time can yield 3–8× more per point than redeeming for cash back or statement credits.
Worked example
60,000 points transferred to Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles books business class US to Europe one-way (cash fare ~$3,000+) = ~5¢ per point
TPG valuation: 1.6¢ per point (April 2026). Actual value varies by route, date, and availability.
Wells Fargo vs other programs
Wells Fargo Rewards sits in an interesting position: more airline partners than Chase at launch, a better earning rate than Citi on travel, but a smaller partner list than Amex or Bilt. Here is how it compares to Chase Ultimate Rewards and Citi ThankYou - the programs it most directly competes with for the mid-premium card audience.
Bottom line
Wells Fargo Rewards is the right choice if you want a mid-fee card with a strong earn rate on actual airline spend and you're targeting Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines, or Virgin Atlantic - programs Chase does not transfer to. Chase still wins on transfer speed (most partners instant vs. 24–48 hours) and hotel diversity (Hyatt is Chase-exclusive). Citi's edge is a slightly larger airline partner roster including Qatar Airways. If you're building a multi-card strategy, Wells Fargo adds unique access to KrisFlyer and Miles&Smiles that neither Chase nor Citi provide.
