Good morning everyone! Yesterday, I received targeted offers from US Bank for my personal and business Club Carlson credit cards. The offers are not amazing (for me, at least), but you may have better offers, so check your mail box. The first offer is for my US Bank Club Carlson Personal Credit Card. I can earn up to 2,000 bonus Club Carlson points for spending $2,000 at retail stores and restaurants from November 1 through December 31.
Good morning everyone. A few days ago, I wrote Targeted US Bank FlexPerks Offer: Spend $500, Earn 2,000 Bonus FlexPoints. In that post, I showed the targeted offer I received by looking at my US Bank FlexPerks bonus portal online. Yesterday, I received the same offer by mail (spend $500 between November 1 and December 31 to receive 2,000 bonus FlexPoints). I have the Visa Signature and American Express version of the US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Credit Card, but both offers are for my Visa Signature card. I haven’t received any offers for my American Express card, but there is still time to receive an offer by mail or email before the promotion starts on November 1. If you have more than 1 US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Credit Card, have you received an offer for both cards? Any data points would be great. Thank you.
Good morning everyone, greetings from rainy San Francisco. Yesterday, I received a postcard in the mail for a new service called Amazon Restaurants. I almost threw the postcard away, but then I looked more closely at it and saw that it said $10 off your first order using promo code DINELOCAL10. I decided to check it out and place a dummy booking to see what the ordering process was like. To see if your home or work zipcode is in an Amazon Restaurant city, click here and type in your zipcode. Apparently this service is only available to Amazon Prime members, so if you are not a Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a 30 day free trial.
Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is off to a great start. I was boring last night and did a mini American Horror Story TV marathon (don’t watch that show if you get scared easily!). This morning, I was checking my credit card accounts and stumbled onto this promotion for my US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card. This offer might be targeted, but to see if are eligible for the promotion, click here (you will need to sign in or join the FlexPerks Promo page). Once you register for the promotion, you will earn 2,000 bonus FlexPoints (worth up to $40 in travel) when you spend $500 or more between November 1 and December 31. This is a pretty good and simple offer, so I will definitely participate. Only purchases made between November 1 and December 31 will count toward this promotion, so you will need to wait a few days.
If you have a different US Bank FlexPerks credit card, I do not believe you are eligible for this promotion, but there might be a similar promotion available to you. If you see a different promotion, please let me know in the comments section. Thank you.
Good morning everyone, greetings from Maui. I just wanted to share a little trick I learned recently regarding my US Bank Cash Plus (Cash+) Credit Card. On my recent credit card statement, I saw 3 different line items for “Rewards Dollars Earned” (aka cash back), but I wanted to get a little more information regarding which transactions qualified for bonus cash back.
As a reminder, US Bank allows you to select two 5% cash back categories and one 2% cash back category every quarter. For Q3 (July, August, & September), I selected Fast Food and Movie Theaters for my 5% categories and Restaurants for my 2% category. For Q4 (October, November, & December), I selected Fast Food and Electronics Stores for my 5% categories and Restaurants for my 2% category. I wanted to see which purchases counted as restaurants (2% cash back) vs. fast food (5% cash back). If you selected different categories, you can follow the same steps below to identify qualifying purchases for your bonus categories.
