Nor should there be, arguably - Wikipedia is not a dictionary.  There  
is an entry in Wiktionary, though:

By the way, I have heard "bennies" used as slang for "benefits",  
especially in the phrase "friends with bennies", meaning casual sex  
partners.  The folks who named this credit card are apparently  
unfamiliar with that usage:

Or I could be misunderstanding what one can purchase with the card ...
