Wells Fargo
On $1,000 a month of spending, split evenly across restaurants, travel, groceries and everything else: yes.
18,000 points a year at 1.22¢ = $220 = $220 a year.
That is a worked example, not a figure about you — we have no idea what you spend. Put your own numbers in and the same arithmetic runs on those.

Credits count for $0 in the sum above — what a typical holder actually redeems, not the sticker value of every credit on the page. Welcome offer and credits not yet read from the issuer's page, so none are counted; added 2026-09-18 for its earn rates only. Travel is priced at the card's general travel rate, not its own-brand rate.
