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
The link here still works, but they just sent me an offer with 18 month 0% and no SUB. Be careful out there.
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?
Got instantly approved with a generous… $500 CL 😒
Not sure what’s up with the Elan bank, cuz I typically get 5-digit CLs from other major banks.
I also got a $500 CL. Did you have any luck requesting an increase Kazuma ?
I didn’t bother. I ended up just recycling the $500 CL to meet the spending requirement which is quite a pain because their online banking sucks…
Beware. I applied using the link for $150 bonus after $1000 spend. I spent over $1000 but never got the bonus, so I called them up and they said the offer on my account was $150 bonus after $1500 spend. They put in a research request for me so I will see how that turns out.
Looks like the 1k minimum spend hasn’t been available since 2019 per the post link. Not sure you’ll succeed in that one I’m afraid.
The old link still works. It has even been updated to say no foreign transaction fee there. If it is dead they should take down the link.
This card now has no foreign transaction fees.
Like another has mentioned. This offer looks to be back till 9/30/2023.
Unlimited 2% Cash Back on everyday purchases—no category restrictions or earning limits.
$150 Bonus after you spend $1,000 in eligible net purchases within 90 days
Easy approval. Have a current relationship with Fidelity.
Applied for Fidelity Visa today and got 7 to 10 days messages. Received approval email 3 hours later.
This card no longer has a FTF. I’m not sure when they dropped that.

Just saw a message on my login. They’ve dropped the FTF as of September 1st. Current accounts were automatically updated.
