Fidelity® Rewards Visa Signature® Card Review
Overview
The Fidelity® Rewards Visa Signature® Card is a flat-rate cash back card from Elan Financial Services, running on the Visa network. The Fidelity® Rewards Visa Signature® Card keeps things simple, earning a flat 2x on every purchase with no categories to track or quarterly activations. There is no annual fee, which means every dollar of rewards is pure profit.
It is built for simplicity. There are no categories to track, no quarterly activations, and no annual fee, which makes it one of the easier cards to set and forget while still earning a respectable flat rate.
Think twice if: you have heavy, predictable spending in one category, where a card with a higher bonus rate there would simply earn you more.

The welcome bonus
This card does not run a traditional welcome bonus, so its value comes entirely from ongoing rewards and perks.
Is the annual fee worth it?
The Fidelity® Rewards Visa Signature® Card has no annual fee, so there is no break-even math to worry about. Every dollar of rewards is profit, and you can keep it open for free, which also helps the average age of your credit over time.
Benefits and protections

- Rewards deposit into an eligible Fidelity account such as a brokerage, IRA, or 529
- No categories to track and no caps
- No foreign transaction fees
Statement credits
This card does not come with recurring statement credits. Its value is in the rewards rate and welcome offer.
Who should get it, and who should skip it
It is best for anyone who wants the simplest possible setup: one flat rate on everything, no categories to track, and no annual fee to earn back.
Skip it if you have heavy, predictable spending in one category, where a card with a higher bonus rate there would simply earn you more.
