Wells Fargo
Active Cash
What it is
The Active Cash is a Wells Fargo card earning cash back. For most, its value is mostly up front in the welcome bonus rather than ongoing perks. Wells Fargo's flat 2% cash-back card, no annual fee — an easy welcome bonus on low spend and a simple everyday keeper.
Offer history
Value is the welcome bonus at your valuations. The Year 1 total also counts recurring benefits and subtracts the annual fee. Spend / mo (the dashed line, right axis) is the monthly pace to clear the minimum spend in time — shown on every view so the spend stays in context.
