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)

Got asked for paystubs, provided, then they asked for two years of taxes. I faxed W-2s. No way they're getting two years of taxes.

Has WF stopped charging $24 to book tickets if you have the no annual fee Signature Visa?

ETA: Looks like it has:

A separate $24 per airline ticket processing fee will apply. Effective July 1, 2016, Go FarTM Rewards will no longer assess this fee.

My account opening date is 7/30/2015 (you can check this online). I purchased $100 toys r us on MPX United app on 7/30/2016. transaction posted and air line credit reimbursed on 8/1/2016. Annual fee posted on 8/1/2016. Called Wells fargo and canceled the card on 8/2. Annual fee refunded without any hassles...

Did not opt for no fee version as that will be a new account on the credit profile and not 'product transfer' account.

I hope this helps someone as it did for me..

Best card in the market in my mind.

40,000 points
0% Apr for a year
2 x $100 airline credit..

I loved this for a year and will churn it in near future !

I applied for this card on 8/1 and got the pending decision message. I have not received any further communication yet on this. Should I call the recon line?

Bought a gift card on AA.com and 2 days later got email:

As a benefit of your American Express Propel WorldSM Credit Card, you receive up to $100 in reimbursements for qualifying incidental airline charges per year.
You've earned an airline reimbursement based on your recent airline transaction.

Any update? Are they asking for work info and tax info for everyone? No way I'm supplying tax info just for a CC.

Were you honest for your annual income?
