The verdict
On a typical year of household spending, the Capital One Savor earns about $484 a year in rewards and the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey℠ about $424, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Capital One Savor has no annual fee, so its rewards are all profit. The Wells Fargo Autograph Journey℠ charges $95, but carries about $50 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Capital One Savor delivers more total value, about $130 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on groceries and streaming. Both earn transferable points rather than flat cash, so the deciding factor is whose transfer partners reach the airlines and hotels you would actually book. On the sign-up bonus, the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey℠ currently has the larger welcome offer. Note that Capital One Savor is running a limited-time offer above the usual amount, so that edge may not last. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the Capital One Savor if your spending leans toward groceries, streaming. Pick the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey℠ if your spending leans toward travel.
