Unfortunately this card no longer accepts applications. There is a new Fidelity card though, you can read our review here.
The Offer
Direct link to offer via Points Centric
- Receive a sign up bonus of 5,000 points (worth $50) when you spend $500 or more within the first three months on the American Express Fidelity card
The Fine Print
- No annual fee
- Card earns 2% cash back on all purchases
Our Verdict
This is one of the best, if not the best third party issued American Express cards (remember these can be used for Sync offers) and one card I think everybody should have in their arsenal. You can read why I think it’s a much better card than the Citi Double Cash card here.
The highest bonus this card has ever offered is $75, although I think you’re better offer getting it now with a slightly lower bonus and taking advantage of the Sync deals instead of waiting.
Hat tip to Points Centric
Hi all, I don’t have any fidelity account, but I’m interested 2% cash back with this card as I’m switching to serve from RB.
Before posting this question, I did read flyertalk forum to an extent.
Can I apply for Fidelity amex card without having any account?
Looks like I can apply and get without having account, but some conflict information about getting cashback without account. I can use it as worldpoints for travel, but I cant get cashback without Fidelity account. Is that right? or the other-way round?? Anyone can clarify this? Thank you in advance.
Has anyone tried applying for the Fidelity Investment Amex and the Fidelity Investment Visa Sig at the same time to see if they’d combine into one hard pull? In theory, since they’re operated by FIA Card Services / BOA, you’d think they only result in one hard pull. Just curious because I do plan to apply for this card soon.
I believe that the inquiries are likely to be combine. Even BoA with Fia Amex is reportedly combined.
How can you link Fidelity amex to express checkout to get $10 promotion?
How do you do Serve loads with this card? I keep looking at serve and this and I cannot figure out how to do that other than buying GCs as usual. What am I missing here?
Wait, never mind. I got it now. Carry on, nothing to see here.(Apparently no way to delete posts)
The original post says, “The offer is valid through July 29, 2015 and the offer code for this bonus is VACD37.” Will FIA / Bank of America honor the bonus as long as the application form loads that way? There is no mention of July 29th on the offer screen.
Yeah, FIA probably just extended the bonus after the original deadline. You’ll be fine.
“We apologize for any inconvenience. The application you are requesting is currently unavailable. Please Note: This application may be unavailable for maintenance, development improvements, or this offer may have expired.”
That’s the message I got after I submitted my application. I did it last night and then tried again this morning to make sure it wasn’t a technical issue. It looks like the offer actually is expired, but they don’t tell you until after you submit the application.
Is this still live? The link works but I don’t like that Brian got an error after submitting.
Can you load Serve with the Amex Flexperks too?
Yes, any third party American Express card will work.
This Amex is not eligible for Amex offers. Is that what you mean by sync offers?
It is eligible for Amex Offer via Twitter. I use it all the time for that.
Where do you go to pay this…fidelity’s website?
Also don’t you have to withdraw over $250 in points to get the full 2% cash back…isn’t it lesser value if you do it at a lower amount?
The card is managed by FIA Card Services, so to pay it, you go to fiacardservices.com.
If you withdraw the points to a Fidelity account, you can get the full 2% cash back (1 point equaling one cent) at any time (although the minimum redemption this way is 5000 points). Fidelity has some interesting accounts, but even if you’re not big on investing, they have a “cash management” account which is basically a checking account with a debit card that gives fee free ATM withdrawals anywhere in the world.
Can you make Serve loads with this card, and get points for it?
Yes, I’ve been doing so for a year now.
Yep, a free $240 a year! Love it!
