What it earns
4% on eligible self-care, sports, recreation, entertainment, transit, EV charging, and select sustainable purchases.
What comes with it
Cell-phone protection; no annual fee.
Dean treats these as the reasons to hold the Attune. If you would not use them, the card is worth less to you than its marketing says.
- Cell-phone protection
- no annual fee
Who can get it
Dean lists the Attune for good, excellent credit. It is a personal card. Availability: public national.
A listed credit range is a starting point, not an approval promise. Wells Fargo decides approval, your credit limit, and your rate when you apply.
The catch
Merchant coding and category breadth require checking.
Annual fee: $0. Dean checked the fee and terms against Wells Fargo on July 22, 2026. Terms can change after that date, so read the live offer before you apply.
