Just got my Wells Fargo Autograph in the mail and wasn’t expecting the weight on it. Almost feels like a metal card.
Are all Wells Fargo cards like this?

Nope. The Attune is fairly flimsy, I was also impressed by the heft of the autograph.
Was also surprised, the active cash is not as hefty as the autograph
Nope. I converted to the Autograph from the Active Cash and noticed the difference in card quality too. The Autograph is def heavier and more sturdy than the AC, feels like it’s almost a metal card.
It is a metal card laminated with plastic. It’s similar to the Chase Sapphire Preferred in that regard. I actually don’t like metal cards because they are difficult to cut and their thickness takes more room in your wallet.
It *does* have a metal core. I’ve taken apart both it *and* the old Propel card it replaced. Here’s the Propel (the metal core is identical on the Autograph):

It’s special. The idea was it is their travel card to entice higher quality customers to join (a lot of people with good credit and income avoid Wells Fargo because of their reputation for fraudulently creating accounts and sticking customers with fees). The metal core was part of them selling it as premium even with no AF.
Not the Reflect. I know two people that have it and it isn’t as heavy as the Autograph
