About this card

The Wells Fargo Active Cash card is a solid offering, meriting an overall rating of 3.8. Its primary strengths lie in its simple and valuable rewards program, particularly the unlimited 2% cash back on all purchases and the generous sign-up bonus. The absence of an annual fee further enhances its appeal. These factors make it an attractive option for users seeking a straightforward cash-back card for everyday spending. However, the relatively high regular APR range and the presence of a foreign transaction fee detract from its overall value. Additionally, the reputation of Wells Fargo as an issuer introduces a degree of hesitation for some consumers, despite the card's strong individual merits. Balancing these factors, the card is a good choice, particularly for those who prioritize cash back and avoid carrying a balance or using the card for international transactions.
