Do I need to tell Wells Fargo about travel plans?

No, you don’t need to tell Wells Fargo about travel plans, but it’s definitely a good idea and what Wells Fargo recommends.

But by notifying Wells Fargo of where you’ll be traveling and on what dates, you’ll prevent your card from being declined during your trip.… read full answer

To submit a Wells Fargo travel notice, you can either call the number on the back of your card to speak to a representative or create a Travel Plan on Wells Fargo’s website. From there, simply enter the locations and dates of your trip(s). If you’re traveling to more than one destination, be sure to note all locations and dates. It’s also a good idea to let Wells Fargo know which credit cards you’ll be taking with you on the trip, if you have more than one you’ll be bringing. You can set as many Wells Fargo travel notifications as you want.
