Wells Fargo Active Cash

A no-fee 2% cash rewards card with a 0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers for 12 months.

Para kanino ito

This card suits you if you want simple, flat cash rewards with no annual fee. You earn 2% cash rewards on purchases, with no categories to track. It also comes with 0% intro APR for 12 months on purchases and qualifying balance transfers, which helps if you have a big purchase coming up and want time to pay it off without interest.

Sino ang dapat lumaktaw dito

Skip it if you spend heavily in one category like groceries or dining, where a category card would earn more. Skip it for international travel, since foreign transaction fees apply. And remember that the 0% period ends: if you won't be able to pay the balance off within 12 months, interest at the regular rate will add up fast.

Paano ito masusulit

Make it your everyday card for purchases that don't earn more elsewhere. If you use the intro APR for a large purchase, divide the cost by 12 and set up autopay for that amount, so you finish before interest starts. Pay the full statement balance once the intro period is over. You can pair it with a grocery or dining card to cover your biggest categories.
