Who Should Get the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey?

The Wells Fargo Autograph Journey fits people who spend most on hotels (5x) and flights (4x). Its $95 annual fee makes sense if the $50 a year in credits Creddy lists, plus what you earn, covers it with credits you would use anyway.

Is the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey Worth the $95 Annual Fee?

The Wells Fargo Autograph Journey costs $95 a year. Creddy lists 1 trackable credit worth up to $50 a year if you use it, which leaves $45 of the fee for rewards and perks to cover. Count only the credits you would use anyway.

Check enrollment requirements, merchant restrictions, reset timing and the issuer's current terms before applying.
