These are Amex-network cards, issued and administered by Wells Fargo. American Express acts as the transaction processing network, in the same way that VISA process transactions for other Wells Fargo cards. Amex-network cards do not count against your four credit card limit with American Express, nor will you deal with American Express customer service.
There have been several data points that people on work visas don't qualify, only US citizens and permanent residents do. However some people with visas have also received this card.
If you have some relationship with wells fargo, less verification info is asked so keeping a checking with WF can be a good way to improve your chances.
Wells fargo also restricts CC signup bonuses to 1 per person lifetime. Some people have also reported one per address so YMMV.
You can have both types of Propel cards open simultaneously.
It easily takes 90-120 days after meeting the spend for the bonus to post.
Airline Fee Credit
Once per anniversary year.
It appears that one can wait until after the annual fee is charged, the get a second reimbursement of an airline expenditure, and then cancel to get the annual fee refunded.
Examples of airline related charges that have been reimbursed:
1. Gift cards of most airlines
2. BA award ticket taxes
3. AA award ticket taxes (booked via phone)
4. LH award redeposit fee (charged via phone)
5. Amazon GC through UA shopping app.
Examples of airline related charges that have NOT been reimbursed:
1. AS award date change fee ($125, charged online)

Just wanted to quickly echo the ridiculously long wait for the bonus:
- 12/31 opened
- 1/5, met $3k minimum spend
- told that bonus will not post until at least 5/1.
Four full months. Absurd. Told by Wells Fargo there is no way to expedite it, none.

A little reading here before applying and you would have known exactly what to expect. Personally, it was not a big deal...I didn't need the $400 quickly and wouldn't think that most people in this game would be that distraught over waiting a few months for $400

I was able to get credit for an AA award charge booked via phone. The Service Description says "Manually Entered".
I have edited the wiki to list example of charges that have been reimbursed and those that have not.

Any data points on converting a Propel World or 365 to the new no fee Propel (non world or 365) card?

It is in the wiki but I don't believe there is a single data point in this thread of someone receiving the bonus and then attempting to churn the bonus after cancelling. Not sure where the wiki data came from.

I'm not finding any redemptions better than $.01 per point. Is it just me? I see people talking about $.015pp redemptions.

I did a search on this tread and could find any data points on the 100 reimbursement from mileageplusx app. I found this on reddit but wanted to know if anyone else has had success.
