Some people got an email from Fidelity, myself included, about new benefits on the Fidelity 2% card. I assume everyone will get this email as it goes it in batches:
- Receive up to 10,000 Reward Points every four years when you apply for either Global Entry® or TSA PreCheck®. That’s worth up to $100 when deposited into an eligible Fidelity® account, once every four years. Be sure to pay the application fee using your card to be eligible. Learn more about this benefit and review the terms at Fidelity.com/AirportBenefits
- My thoughts: Cool benefit on a solid no-fee card. TSA Pre costs $78 for five years and would end up fully covered with this benefit. Global Entry costs $120 and would be mostly covered with this benefit.
- There are many cards with this benefit, but not too many no-fee cards in that list. I did TSA PreCheck at the same time as my brother and I was able to cover the fee for him since I have multiple cards with the benefit.
- Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver at no extra cost. Be sure to review complete benefit terms at Fidelity.com/AutoRentalCoverage.
- My thoughts: I wasn’t aware that the card didn’t already have this benefit, but if it’s new that’s a nice addition. FYI – coverage is secondary behind your regular auto insurance (if you have that).
- No foreign transaction fees for international purchases.
