‘SLOMW’ Miranda Hope Shades Taylor Frankie Paul Over Social Media Use
Published |

Miranda Hope is throwing a little shade Taylor Frankie Paul‘s way while opening up about where their friendship stands these days … and spoiler alert, they’re not exactly back to BFF status!
Speaking on the “Sorry We’re Cyrus” podcast, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star described their relationship as more of a gray area these days … though she didn’t sound bitter, chalking it up to being in a different season of life.
Miranda explained that in any big friend group, not every friendship operates the same way … and while she and Taylor were once inseparable, life has changed … and neither is pouring the same energy into the friendship these days.
She also suggested fans have become way too invested in her relationship with Taylor, saying people need to realize friendships come in different forms … and when reality TV enters the equation, staying attached at the hip just isn’t realistic.
As you’ll recall, Miranda publicly condemned Taylor’s behavior after her scandal erupted earlier this year — including the now-infamous video of Taylor throwing a stool at Dakota Mortensen — but it sounds like things may have thawed somewhat behind the scenes.
But despite all the ups and downs, Miranda clearly still has Taylor figured out … ’cause when asked which “MomTok” star would struggle most without social media, she didn’t miss a beat before naming Taylor!
The Wells Fargo Autograph Journey℠ Card (see rates and fees) comes with a generous welcome offer of 60,000 bonus points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. This card is the mid-tier version of the Wells Fargo Autograph® Card (see rates and fees), which is currently offering 20,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
With the Autograph Journey, you’ll enjoy perks like a $50 annual statement credit for airfare purchases (with a $50 minimum airline purchase) and bonus points on travel and dining purchases. The latter is a benefit of the Autograph Card as well, though select travel categories, like hotels and airfare, earn fewer points per dollar spent with the no-annual-fee card.
Previously, Wells Fargo Rewards points earned with Wells Fargo credit cards could only be redeemed at 1 cent each, making the Autograph Journey bonus worth $600 and the Autograph Card bonus worth $200. However, Wells Fargo introduced a number of travel transfer partners that allow you to use your rewards points with eight frequent flyer programs and two hotel loyalty programs for better value (up to $960 and $320, respectively, when redeemed for travel).
Here is everything you need to know about Wells Fargo’s transfer partners so you can get the most value out of your hard-earned Wells Fargo points.
You can transfer Wells Fargo points to the following programs at a 1:1 ratio (unless otherwise noted):
Aer Lingus, British Airways and Iberia all use Avios as their program currency. They can be transferred between any of these programs (including Finnair Plus and Qatar Airways Privilege Club) in any direction at a 1:1 rate; so, even if only one of these three programs was a Wells Fargo transfer partner, you could still easily transfer Avios to all three of the programs, as well as to Finnair Plus and Qatar Airways Privilege Club.
Similarly, you can link your Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and Virgin Red accounts to transfer your Virgin points between both programs. If you want to book Virgin Atlantic flights, you can use Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Virgin Red offers members the chance to redeem rewards for other trip details, such as food tours, excursions and hotel stays.

Once you have earned Wells Fargo points from an Autograph card at the end of each billing cycle, they will be available in your Wells Fargo account. You could elect to redeem them through the Wells Fargo Rewards portal at 1 cent each or transfer them to one of the partner programs above at a 1:1 rate (except for Choice Privileges and Wyndham Rewards, which are 1:2).
You must first link any transfer partners in your Wells Fargo account by adding their membership numbers so you can easily transfer to them.
Thankfully, unlike other transferable currencies, there’s no minimum transfer amount, and you aren’t limited to specific increments. In fact, you could transfer just a single point if needed. This allows you to transfer the exact number you need for your specific redemption — rather than being forced to round up to the next multiple of 1,000, which can leave you with orphaned points or miles in a loyalty account.
Transfers are not reversible, so make sure you want to proceed before making the transfer.

What are the best Wells Fargo transfer partners?
There are great ways to maximize the value of Wells Fargo transfer partners. Here are some of our favorites:
British Airways Club members can book American Airlines and Alaska Airlines partner flights traveling up to 650 miles within North America for 13,500 Avios on all dates, plus taxes and fees of just $5.60. An example of such a route includes flying from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to San Diego International Airport (SAN). Since American operates using dynamic pricing, redeeming Avios could be significantly cheaper and a better use of your rewards. However, it’s always best to double-check before transferring and redeeming your points.
Iberia Club business class to Europe costs just 40,500 Avios (plus reasonable taxes and fees) each way on off-peak dates for the following routes: Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in Costa Rica, Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington, D.C., and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD).
Flying Blue prices its awards dynamically; however, the program has now standardized saver-level pricing for all one-way flights between the U.S. and Europe, regardless of origin or destination. This means you can connect at no extra cost from as little as 25,000 miles in economy, 40,000 miles in premium economy or 60,000 miles in business class. Also, check out the program’s Promo Rewards, where select routes are discounted even further.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club does impose high surcharges on its award tickets, but you can find great deals, such as flying from the East Coast to the U.K. during off-peak dates for just 6,000 points. Plus, if you book a partner award redemption, such as a main cabin Delta Air Lines flight from the U.S. to Europe, you’ll pay significantly lower surcharges. While the flight will cost you more Virgin points, it’s likely to be far fewer points than Delta SkyMiles charges its own members for the exact same flight.
Choice Privileges has well-located properties in Europe and Japan for 12,000 points or less per night. Choice points can also provide great value in the U.S. For example, some solid-value Choice Hotels are near national parks and in large cities.
Remember, transfers are irreversible, so it’s important to double-check airline and hotel availability before proceeding.

The Wells Fargo transfer partner list may be small, but there are some excellent redemption options. Additionally, the ability to transfer points in any amount provides valuable flexibility that other credit card currencies lack.
We hope this transfer partner list will continue to grow and that the product evolves.
