Fidelity Invesments partnered up with Visa to introduce the Fidelity Investments Rewards Visa Signature Card with WorldPoints.
I signed up for this card and linked it to my Roth IRA account, where I can earn 1.5% cash back into my retirement account.
Program Details
0% introductory APR period for your first twelve billing months, after the introductory period, the APR stands at 13.9%. The Normal APR is a bit high for this card, but Fidelity offers a $5,000 credit line, which is extremely generous. This rewards credit card has become my third option for credit purchases, behind my two Bank of America credit cards.
Zero Annual Fees
There is no annual fee to worry about here.
Unlimited Rewards Potential
You earn 1 reward point for every dollar spent in net retail purchases. Once you reach 5,000 points, Fidelity converts your points total automatically into $75 cash, and credits your investment accounts. Fidelity rewards is a great asset, yet the high APR detracts from the benefits of the credit card rewards.
3% Transaction Fee for Balance Transfers, Cash Advances, and ATM Purchases
Use another credit card for transfers because the minimum transaction fee is $10. Either carry a debit card for ATM withdrawals, or make cash advances with a lower interest credit card.
Fidelity Promotional Offers
Fidelity mentions priority code FAAA7X on their website that may grant access to special offers or rates.

Here’s the address for new account holders:
Fidelity Investments
P.O. Box 770001
Cincinnati, OH 45277-0001
But you should probably call them at 1-800-343-3548 to make sure the above address is correct.
how do I redeem World Points
If you log into your credit card account online, look for the tab that reads “Redeem World Points” section.
I know it sounds obvious, but there really is a tab on your dashboard with info on redeeming your points.
It is almost impossible to have your points put into your Fidelity Acct.
