Fidelity dumps American Express for cash back credit card, switches to Visa
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Fidelity is switching partners for its cash back credit card, dumping American Express and Bank of America for Visa and U.S. Bank.
The move is another loss for American Express Co., coming nearly a year after warehouse store operator Costco said it would end its exclusive partnership with the credit card company.
Fidelity says the Visa card will be accepted at more places than the AmEx version and can be used with new payment services Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Android Pay.
The new card will continue to earn cardholders 2 per cent in cash on every $1 spent, which can be deposit into Fidelity checking or retirement accounts.
Current cardholders don’t have to do anything. A new Visa card will automatically be shipped by July to replace the AmEx card.

I love the New Year; it’s a fresh start for all of us and the perfect time to set up our goals for the year. Many people are looking to make a positive change in their lives and have set up New Year’s resolutions. For most people, unfortunately, they’ll break them by the time Valentine’s Day rolls around.
As you can imagine, financial resolutions are very popular. Everyone wants to spend less, save more, and pay down debt, but that’s easier said than done. When our credit card bills arrive in January, many of us are left scrambling to pay off our holiday spending, while trying to meet our new saving goals – a recipe for disaster. Here are some tips to help make sure we stay on track.
Set Specific Goals
The biggest problem with any New Year’s resolution is that they usually aren’t specific enough. Let’s take a look at what spending resolution Canadians made in a recent survey from CPA Canada.
Pay down debt – 61%
Follow a budget for spending – 61%
Save more retirement – 52%
Save for the 2016 holiday season – 29%
Save for their children’s education – 25%
For these types of surveys they have to generalize, but as individuals we need to establish specific and realistic goals…
