You just answered your own question.
When considering visa vs amex, is 1 more wide accepted when traveling, or what are differences?
Visa tends to be. You might want to consider carrying the Fidelity Amex when in the US and a different Visa with no foreign transaction fee when outside of the US. There is a sticky thread in this forum with a list of no FTF cards. The Capital One Venture card might work - it's still 2% back but only when redeemed as a statement credit against travel purchases.
