Wells Fargo

Active Cash

One rate. Less to think about.

Source checked ·

2% cash rewards on eligible purchases, without category caps.

The important detail

A useful flat-rate comparison when much of your spending falls outside bonus categories.

The rates we use

Modeled ongoing rewards
PurchasesRateAnnual cap
Other eligible purchases2%Uncapped

Annual fee: $0. Other fees may apply.

What qualifies?

Only eligible net purchases earn rewards; transfers, cash advances, interest, and fees are not spending inputs.

Cash redemption assumption

Cash rewards redeemed as account credit.

What this estimate leaves out

Signup offers, insurance benefits, and merchant offers are excluded.

The calculation assumes full payment and does not include interest, foreign transaction charges, or other fees. This is a rewards comparison, not a credit or borrowing-cost recommendation.

A worked example

For the illustrative Everyday mix ($2,000 per month), this model returns $480 per year. Your own categories may change that amount. The breakdown below uses the same arithmetic as the calculator.
