Is It Time to Get Excited About Wells Fargo Rewards?

24 minutes

Wells Fargo just added two significant transfer partners in less than two weeks, and it's time to take this program seriously.

Wyndham Rewards now transfers at a 1:2 ratio, the best available anywhere, and Cathay Pacific just joined at 1:1, opening up Oneworld partner bookings, including American Airlines and British Airways.

In this episode, Chris and Katie break down the full Wells Fargo transfer partner lineup, the two Autograph cards that have quietly been worth a second look, and exactly how Wells Fargo fits into a broader points strategy.

Plus, Hyatt's annual award category changes are out, with 24 properties shifting down and 112 moving up on May 20. If you have a booking or a free night certificate in play, you need to hear this first.
