TL;DR

Wells Fargo Rewards users have until September 25, 2026, to gift rewards to another Wells Fargo Rewards customer before that option ends.

  • Wells Fargo Rewards users have until September 25, 2026, to gift rewards to another Wells Fargo Rewards customer before that option ends.
  • Reports based on cardholder notices say own-account combining should still be possible, but transfers to a different person will not.
  • If your household pools Wells Fargo points, move rewards and save account screenshots before the deadline.

What changed

Wells Fargo Rewards users have a short deadline if they still want to move rewards to another person. Multiple points-and-miles outlets are warning that, starting September 25, 2026, Wells Fargo Rewards will no longer allow gifting rewards between Wells Fargo Rewards customers.

This is not a public press-release story. The clearest source is a Wells Fargo cardholder terms notice reproduced by Travel with Grant, then resurfaced by Frequent Miler as a one-week reminder. Wells Fargo's public rewards page also points users back to the Wells Fargo Rewards Program Terms and Conditions and card-specific addendum, so cardholders should verify the notice inside their own account before moving a large balance.

Key details

The most important distinction is person-to-person versus own-account movement. Frequent Miler says it received clarification that a cardholder can still move rewards between eligible Wells Fargo accounts that belong to that same person. That is different from sending rewards to a spouse, family member, friend, or other cardholder.

Who should care

This matters most if your household uses a two-player setup with Wells Fargo Autograph, Autograph Journey, Attune, Active Cash, or older Wells Fargo rewards cards. Losing person-to-person transfers can make it harder to gather enough rewards in one account before sending points to airline or hotel partners.

It also matters if you use automatic redemptions. Even if gifting rewards is not part of your setup, reports say existing automatic redemption settings will be removed, so a tracker reminder is safer than assuming old settings will keep firing.

What to do next

  • Log in to Wells Fargo and check whether your card has the September 25 notice or an updated rewards addendum.
  • If you planned to pool rewards with another person, complete the gift or transfer before September 25, 2026.
  • Screenshot balances, transfer confirmations, and any terms notice before and after moving rewards.
  • If you hold multiple Wells Fargo cards under your own name, confirm the manual combine path still works after the display change.
  • Replace any automatic redemption setting with a manual reminder in your tracker.

Sources

Official account terms should control your decision. Wells Fargo's public Rewards page sends users to card-specific Wells Fargo Rewards terms and addenda. Travel with Grant posted the reported cardholder notice text, and Frequent Miler republished the story as a one-week deadline reminder. Additional coverage from AwardWallet and Upgraded Points says the same deadline is approaching.
