Our review
The One Key+™ Card is a category rewards card from Wells Fargo, running on the Mastercard network. The One Key+™ Card earns up to 3x on dining, groceries, and gas, so it pays you the most exactly where you already spend. It carries a $99 annual fee, so the real question is whether its rewards, credits, and perks clear that bar for the way you spend. New cardholders can earn $350 in OneKeyCash after $3,000 in the first 3 months.
It lands in the mid tier: a modest annual fee in exchange for stronger earn rates and a meaningful welcome offer. The right call depends on whether your spending and the perks clear that fee each year.
Think twice if: your spending does not line up with its bonus categories, or if you would rather not think about where you swipe at all.

Rewards: how it earns
Where the One Key+™ Card earns its rewards is its bonus categories: 3x on dining (about $90 a year on the $3,000 a typical household spends there), 3x on groceries (about $180 a year on the $6,000 a typical household spends there), and 3x on gas (about $65 a year on the $2,160 a typical household spends there). Across a full year of average household spending, the card returns roughly $713 in rewards before any welcome bonus, so the more your spending overlaps those categories, the better it does.
| Category | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dining and restaurants | 3x | Bonus category |
| Groceries | 3x | Bonus category |
| Gas | 3x | Bonus category |
| Travel | 3x | Bonus category |
| Streaming | 2x | Base rate |
| Everything else | 2x | Everything else |
The fine print on rates: OneKeyCash redeems only across Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, and expires after 18 months of inactivity. It does not convert to cash or transfer to airline or hotel programs.
Every point and mile above is valued at a flat 1 cent, the same honest standard we use for every card. Run your own spending through the calculator to see what this card would actually return for you.

Pros and cons
- 3x on dining
- 3x on groceries
- 3x on gas
- 3x on travel
- Welcome offer worth about $350

- $99 annual fee to earn back every year

The welcome bonus
The current welcome offer is $350 in OneKeyCash, earned after you spend $3,000 in the first 3 months. Valued honestly at a flat 1 cent per point, that is worth about $350. The spending requirement works out to roughly $1,000 per month, so make sure it fits your normal budget rather than pushing you to overspend. Stacking the welcome offer on top of a typical year of rewards and accounting for the $99 annual fee, the first year is worth roughly $964.
Is it worth the annual fee?
The math on this one is refreshingly clean: the card gives you $100 in OneKeyCash every year, which more than covers the $99 fee the moment you book a single trip through Expedia, Hotels.com, or Vrbo. If those sites are part of how you travel, the fee effectively disappears and the card earns its keep, which makes it a keeper rather than a year-one play. If you never book through the Expedia family, though, that $100 credit is theoretical and you are paying $99 for a 2% card, so downgrade or cancel. It comes down entirely to whether you use the ecosystem the credit is locked to.
First-year value vs ongoing value
| Welcome bonus | $350 in OneKeyCash |
| To earn it | $3,000 in the first 3 months |
| Est. first-year value* | $1,064 |
| Est. ongoing value / yr* | $714 |
The welcome bonus makes year one the high point: roughly $1,064 in value once you count the bonus, this card’s rewards, and its credits, minus the $99 fee. After that, the honest figure is about $714 a year, so judge whether it earns its keep on the ongoing number, not the first-year headline.
*First-year value counts the welcome bonus, estimated rewards, and annual credits, minus the annual fee; ongoing value is a typical year after. Every point at a flat 1 cent, on average spending.
Benefits and protections
Beyond the rewards, the perks and protections worth knowing about include:
- $100 in OneKeyCash each year, which offsets the fee if you book once
- No foreign transaction fees
Statement credits
- $100 OneKeyCash anniversary credit annually
Who should get it, and who should skip it
It is best for people who spend heavily on dining and groceries and will earn back the $99 fee through those bonus categories and the card's perks.
Skip it if your spending does not line up with its bonus categories, or if you would rather not think about where you swipe at all.
