It’s an FIA Card, meaning a Bank of America card, but branded by Fidelity and uses the American Express network; so it also has WordPoints reward options as well. It’s a brand new card and definitely worth a look if you have a Fidelity account.

To get set up, first enroll at American Express, then spend at a Walmart near you.

American Express treats these as purchases and not cash advances.

To take advantage of this promotion, you’ll need to first have Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express, then register the new accounts here.

Terms & Conditions:

1,000 bonus Starpoints will be awarded to your Starwood Preferred Guest Account 8-12 weeks after the first purchase on an approved Additional Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card submitted with this application. The Additional Cardmember must make their first purchase with the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card within one year of Card approval. Bonus offer applies to first 2 Additional Card added on this application only.

The only concern is that it’s a business card, which means you have to have a business right? Nope. You can apply as a sole proprietorship, use your social security number as your EIN, and you’re in luck. This is entirely legitimate and there are no tax implications of doing so.

The other cards mentioned, the Discover Open Road and the American Express Costco TrueEarnings cards are less desirable. The Discover Open Road limits your cashback to $20 a month (first $100 in purchases) and the TrueEarnings card has an annual fee unless you’re a Costco member (and is only 3% cashback, 5% for the business card version). You are better offer with the SimplyCash card.
