Wells Fargo Reflect® Card review

What you need to know about the Wells Fargo Reflect® Card

The Wells Fargo Reflect® Card, with its $0 annual fee and long intro APR period for balance transfers and purchases, may be a good option if you’re looking to transfer a balance. It also comes with an incentive to pay on time.

Here are a few other things you may want to consider before you apply.

Long introductory APR offer

The Wells Fargo Reflect® Card comes with 0% APR for 21 months from account opening on purchases and balance transfers made within 120 days from the day you open your account. 

There’s a balance transfer fee of 5% (minimum $5) of the total balance transferred. And after the intro period ends, the card’s ongoing APR for both balance transfers and purchases jumps up to a variable 17.24%, 23.74%, 28.99%.

Intro offers are the same length

With this card, the introductory APR offers for both balance transfers and purchases are the same length. This can help you keep track of your finances, since you won’t have to worry about getting caught up with tricky timeline math or interest rate confusion.

No rewards

The Wells Fargo Reflect® Card doesn’t have a rewards program, but you may still be able to get cash back on qualifying shopping, dining and experience purchases through the My Wells Fargo Deals program. To take advantage of this special program, you’ll first have to activate the deals. Any cash back you earn will show up as a statement credit.

What else you need to know about the Wells Fargo Reflect® Card

Who this card is good for

The Wells Fargo Reflect® Card may not seem like it offers much ongoing value, since it doesn’t offer rewards. But the 21-month intro APR period could be good if your focus is handling debt and you need more than a year to pay it off. But if you don’t need as much time, you could consider another card that offers rewards — even if it has a shorter 0% APR offer.

Not sure this is the card for you? Consider these alternatives.

If the Wells Fargo Reflect® Card isn’t right for you, you might be interested in one of these other credit cards.

Tips for Approval

Credit Karma Member

Go to Wells Fargo website and apply there. I read through the reviews and that's the best chance for approval. Some people had been denied applying through credit karma. I have a 758 credit score and never had any Wells Fargo accounts before this.

Shaddy Company- BE AWARE

Credit Karma Member

I was immediately approved for $12,000 with a 780 credit score. Had the card less than a year and my available credit was slashed to $4550. I am FURIOUS. I only used 33% of the credit which is low. I'm not a high-risk customer as my credit score continues to rise. I talked to the executive team but they only told me I can request an increase. No thank you. Thanks to Wellsfargo Reflect 97% utilization will show on my credit file and impact my score. THE HELL WITH THEM. I will transfer this balance to another card ASAP. If I can give a zero rating I would.
