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
| Category | Reported September 25 change | What to do now |
|---|---|---|
| Gift rewards to another person | No longer available between Wells Fargo Rewards customers | Move household or partner rewards before September 25 if you planned to pool them |
| Combine rewards within your own Wells Fargo cards | Reported to remain available manually | Check each card balance and confirm the transfer path inside your own login |
| Automatic redemptions | Reported to end as an option | Replace any auto-redemption setup with a manual reminder |
| Travel bookings | Provider changed earlier in 2026, with email required for bookings | Recheck travel-redemption terms separately before booking |
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.
