OK, this is more of a wishlist item than a prediction grounded in empirical evidence, but we can dream, right? My favorite travel credit card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, currently earns 2X points for travel and transit purchases, but I hope 2024 is the year for it to get an upgrade and earn 3X points on travel!

My wish isn’t totally delusional: it could be the response to a new competitor card breaking onto the scene. News broke recently that Wells Fargo is going to launch a new travel credit card in 2024 called the Wells Fargo Autograph Journey. Among other things, the Autograph Journey will offer 3X points on travel.

It’s going to come with a $95 annual fee, a 60,000-point welcome bonus, and offer a variety of airline and hotel transfer partners. That’s a clear competitor to my favorite card. Maybe a little healthy competition is all the motivation we need.

This question is from Kurt Adams' travel points and miles predictions at Going.com. This is a brand new prediction series for 2024 for Kurt, and the second series for Going.com. I am an unaffiliated Manifold user replicating the proposals here on Manifold.

I will resolve this market based on Kurt's self-stated resolution at the end of the year. See notes below.

In the same fashion I used for Scott Keyes' predictions last year, I am setting the close date ahead of the end of this year to (try to) avoid a situation where the resolutions post before the market closes. In the event that his resolution post falls in 2025, my apologies in advance. If he hasn't posted resolutions at all by February 1, 2025, I will do my best to resolve them personally, and set N/A for any questions that I can't determine with outside (non-Going) source data.
