Cash-back card
Simple flat-rate catch-all with no annual fee and phone protection; redemption rules irk some.
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

Customers mostly like it as a simple flat-rate catch-all with a solid sign-up bonus, no annual fee and cell phone protection. Product changes from other Wells Fargo cards were easy. Complaints include redemption rules, such as increments and the removed check option, low credit limits and weaker customer service for some.
Of the 125 reviews with a clear verdict, 69% are positive, 15% mixed and 16% negative. The praise mentioned most is great rewards. The most common complaint is poor support.
The praise reviewers mention most: great rewards (16 reviews), helpful support (8 reviews) and reliable (3 reviews). For example: Product changed Cash Wise to Active Cash and uses it as the catch-all card with no regrets.
The complaints reviewers mention most: poor support (9 reviews) and buggy app (1 review). For example: Application verification without a banking relationship was a nightmare, though smooth afterwards.
It's how well reviewed Wells Fargo Active Cash is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Cash-back card. Type: Flat-rate cash-back credit card. Fees: $0 annual fee. Rates & rewards: Unlimited 2% cash rewards on purchases; 0% intro APR for 12 months on purchases and qualifying balance transfers.
