The Offer
Targeted offer, sent out via e-mail. Subject line unknown
- Wells Fargo is offering some members 5x rewards at grocery stores until February 28, 2021. Limit of 12,000 bonus points ($3,000 in spend)
The Fine Print
- During the three (3) month promotional period beginning December 1, 2020 and running through February 28, 2021, 5X rewards points (1 base plus 4 bonus) are earned for every $1 spent in net purchases (purchases minus returns/credits) during the promotional period, at retailers whose merchant code for American Express is classified as grocery stores.
- The maximum amount of bonus rewards points that can be earned with this promotion is 12,000 (which is $3,000 in net purchases) regardless of how much you purchase or how many transactions you make during the promotional period.
- Wells Fargo does not have the ability to control how a retailer chooses to classify its business and therefore reserves the right to determine which purchases qualify for bonus rewards points.
- No registration is required. Purchases not processed using the merchant code for American Express for grocery stores will not qualify for bonus rewards points.
- You may not earn bonus rewards points for purchases made through third-party payment accounts, at online marketplaces, with retailers who submit purchases using a mobile/wireless card reader, or if you use a mobile or digital wallet.
- ATM transactions, cash advances of any kind, balance transfers, SUPERCHECKSâ„¢, cash equivalents such as money orders and prepaid gift cards, or 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 points.
- Bonus points earned through this offer will show as redeemable within 1 – 2 billing periods from the date they were earned.
- To qualify for this promotional offer, your Wells Fargo credit card account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment.
Our Verdict
Not as good as the 10% offered via Go Far Rewards.
Hat tip to reader VL
Already did the 10X on $400 grocery on 2 cards. Just got snail mail invitation on one card for 5x on up to $3000.
didn’t get email, but its in Go Far Reward landing page. Gotta say WF has been treating me right this entire year. Gotten probably 40k points with maybe 5k spending.
I got 10x points on up to 4,000 points on a single gas and grocery purchase a few days ago in an email. Will knock out with a single $500 VGC purchase at each.
10% off Apple GC at WF Go Rewards.
100 pts min required for $100 gift card, rest can be charged to the card.
I got 10x on up to $400, 1 purchase, through 1/3/2021
Same, I got 10X up to $400 on one gas and one grocery purchase, but didn’t get the 5x ongoing for Grocery.
Had both Propel and Visa Sig. though none was ever targeted
On my WF Propel card, this is the first time I received the 5X Go Far rewards offer for grocery purchases.
On top of it, I also received the Earn More Mall offer: “Earn 10 Bonus Pts/$1 on your first grocery store purchase, now through 1/3/2021. Activate now. Offer valid through 1/3/2021. Maximum reward of 4000 Bonus Points. Limitations apply.”
So I made the first purchase in grocery to max out these 2 joint offers .. Am waiting to see how it posts. Whether I receive the total of 15X (=10+4+1 Pts/$1) Go Far rewards for that first purchase.
DP: I’ve got the 15x points for the purchase made on 12/1.
10x posted to balance in 2 days, 5x is pending with next statement closing.
I got 10% off one purchase.
It’s a WF offer but “American Express” is mentioned in The Fine Print a few times. Kind of confusing.
March 11 or February 28?
The terms say Feb 28, image says March 11 so I’m just being conservative and saying Feb 28
No worries. Thanks. I don’t think WF likes me. I’ve never been targeted for these special grocery offers for the 3 years I’ve been with them.
