How to Book Airfare with US Bank FlexPerks
I’ve talked about US Bank FlexPerks a few times in the past:
- What’s on My Mind: US Bank FlexPerks FlexPoints (June 10)
- Lesser Known Perks of the US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Credit Card (May 31)
- My Strategy for the US Bank FlexPoints Credit Card (May 11)
- Quick Thought: The US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa might be the Worst Travel Credit Card Ever (April 4)
- App-O-Rama Update: US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Credit Card Finally Arrived (March 31)
I *highly* recommend reading the post from May 11 that highlights my way of MSing FlexPerks. The brief run down is:
- 20,000 FlexPoints = up to $400 in travel
- To earn 20,000 FlexPoints, you need to spend $10,000 in grocery stores (2x on all grocery store purchases)
- $10,000 / $500 Gift Cards = 20 Gift Cards
- 20 Gift Cards x $5 activation fee = $100 out of pocket expense
- $400 in travel – $100 out of pocket expense = $300 “free travel money”
Some other interesting points of FlexPoints:
- Get 3,500 FlexPoints each cardmember year you spend $24,000 in net purchases, which can be redeemed for your annual fee or towards other rewards of your choice.
- Get up to a $25 airline allowance with every award travel ticket good towards baggage fees, in-flight treats and more. (Ohhh in-flight treats/food/drinks – After travel, just call Cardmember Services at 877-978-7446 to request a statement credit within 90 days of your award ticket travel flight.)
- Earn frequent flyer miles on the airline you fly for your award travel flight.
