Introduction to US Bank ScoreBoard Reporting to Analyze Spending Activity

Good morning everyone.  Hot on the heals of Citibank’s New Online Bonus Spend Tracker, US Bank has introduced their own spend tracker called ScoreBoard Reporting (sounds like a sports app to me).  When you log into your US Bank online account, you will see ScoreBoard Reporting listed beneath every US Bank credit and debit card.  I was curious about the new service, so I spent a few minutes playing around with the reporting features.

How to Book your Club Carlson Free Night Certificate Worldwide Hotel Stay

Good evening everyone, hopefully your week is off to a great start.  A few days ago, I wrote US Bank Club Carlson Visa Signature and Business Cardholders Receiving Free Night E-Certificate (Different from Anniversary Night Certificates).  In that post, I determined (thanks to reader comments) that everyone who has a US Bank Club Carlson credit card was going to receive a free night certificate (my letter is below).  More interestingly, the free night certificate mentioned in the letter is not related to the $10,000 annual free night certificate (which is only valid in the United States, boo).  Today (only 2 days later), I received an email with my free night certificate information.  In this post, I will show you how to book your Club Carlson free night certificate at any Club Carlson hotel in the world.

Should you Downgrade to the No Annual Fee US Bank Club Carlson Rewards Visa Credit Card?

(Hat Tip to Mike for the idea)

Good morning everyone.  A few days ago, I wrote US Bank Club Carlson Visa Signature and Business Cardholders Receiving Free Night E-Certificate (Different from Anniversary Night Certificates) which showed that US Bank / Club Carlson is sending out free night certificates to cardholders.  I received a letter for my US Bank Club Carlson Premier Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card and my US Bank Club Carlson Business Rewards Visa Credit Card.  Other readers commented that the no annual fee US Bank Club Carlson Rewards Visa Credit Card also received a free night certificate.

That got me thinking… if everyone got a free night certificate, is the US Bank Club Carlson Premier Rewards Visa Signature Credit Card worth $75 more than the no annual fee US Bank Club Carlson Rewards Visa Credit Card?  If you look at the Club Carlson credit card comparison page, you will only see the 3 versions that have annual fees.  If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, click the link to view the no annual fee Club Carlson credit card.
