- Card issued by Elan services (subsidiary of U.S. bank)
Our Verdict
The card often doesn’t have any bonus, or has a bonus of $50 or $100; I don’t think we’ve ever seen a publicly available $150 bonus before (even when it was issued by FIA card services). There is a targeted offer of $300 out there currently, and there’s also a public $100 offer with a lower $1,000 spend requirement.
This is a pretty good deal if you need a card that has a high base spend, if you already have one of those (or don’t need one because you’re spend just goes to minimum spend requirements) then there are better cash sign up bonuses out there. You can read our full review of this card here. We’ll add this to our list of Best Credit Card Signup Bonuses.
Keep in mind you also need to open an eligible Fidelity account as well (cash management is best option if you don’t want to invest with Fidelity).
Big thanks to reader YL for sharing this
Just got approved in under 2 minutes (I’m a Fidelity customer – both investment accounts and CMA, and was logged in).
FYI the initial spending requirement is now $1,000 (down from $1,500).
what bureau (if any) did they pull?
Just applied. Pending. I think that I am rejected.
Can anyone please check if they have stopped waiving the small charge? The latest statement, they did not waive the $1 small charge. This is the first time in a long time they did this.

Is there a way to get these cards all synced up to a single month? I take it that it all depends on the date it was opened, but can we ask them to change the anniversary date similar to asking them to change the due date.
TY for the link.
Got a targeted email offer May 7th offering 20% more Reward Points (up to 2,000 Reward Points) on purchases made after you spend $2,500, worth up to $20 when redeemed as cash back into an eligible Fidelity® account. Enroll by May 31, 2024 and eligible purchases made from May 1 – June 30, 2024 will count toward this offer. Whop-de-doo.
A lot better than what I got:
Earn 20% more Reward Points (up to 2,000 Reward Points) on purchases made after you spend $5,700, worth up to $20 when redeemed as cash back into an eligible Fidelity® account
There is no forex fee anymore
Updated
Can confirm offer still works
04/01/24 – Opened card
04/19/24 – $1,000 spend
05/01/24 – 15,000 points ($150)
Used the 12 month 0% BT after
The link here still works, but they just sent me an offer with 18 month 0% and no SUB. Be careful out there.
Any luck getting that changed to the 150 offer?
Received a targeted offer for my existing Fidelity card: 20% more points after $950 in spend, up to $20 in points. It ends up being 2.34% CB on $5,950 in spend, which is lot less exciting than the offer makes it seem.
Got the same email but slightly differs with it being after $700 spend.
Did Fidelity Visa offer come via snail mail? Email? Thanks!

It finally happened: I got tired of churning! Plus there are not many good new SUBs over the past 3-6 months so I ended up here and got approved for $20k CL on the Fidelity 2% card at 5/24 with 820 FICO using your link above. It’s also 0% APR for 12 months on purchases and balance transfers with a 3% BT fee.
I applied for this card back in September with an offer $150 bonus.
Recently I accidentally apply second time and got approved as well. Does anyone know if Fidelity will respect offers on multiple cards. Can’t find a language in T&C saying that.
Thank you
So, what happened?
