Flexperks Real-Time Rewards Confirmed Merchants:

Flexperks listed examples: "United, American, British Airways, Emirates, JetBlue, Southwest, Delta, Sun Country", however BEWARE that "non U.S. merchants" are not supposed to work (i.e. British Airway & Emirates). Supervisor has said that this list hasn't been updated to exclude non-US airlines. Note that it will be difficult to get any transactions covered if Real-time Rewards do not work automatically.

Airlines:
  • American Airlines
  • Delta
  • Southwest
  • Sun Country
  • United Airlines

Other:
  • Uber

Good one! I haven't used Flex Perks before but DPs like yours and articles like this are making me think twice.

Hmm. I applied for a card and the status site says no applications found, the phone system says I was approved, but there's no new card on my account.

yes.. that's why flexperks are not very valuable. Good in theory, average to terrible in practice.

Plus the amazingly terrible customer service. I've never been able to speak to a rep without a long hold. And the CSRs are also terrible despite being US based.

It will probably show up eventually. I never called the phone system and the status site couldn't find my application, but today -- 20 days after my application -- I got a "welcome" e-mail, and the card now appears in my US Bank profile.

bump - anyone?

I'm also curious about this. I received 20k bonus points on 9/15 already, but was surprised that the 14800 didn't hit along with it.

I believe the 14.8K is meant to hit a few weeks after the end of the promo, which is Sep 30

So if get the 20k + 14.8k + 2k spend we will have to somehow make up the remaining 4K for maximum use of the points. Right?

Yes, that's right where I am as well. I'm not planning to put any more spend on the card until I both see the Olympics bonus post and have success booking a high-$300 flight through the FlexPerks portal, since I am new to that.

Read post #1538 or T&C of your CC application. Both say the same thing.

Denied for FlexPerks Business card because ARS / SageStream was frozen. I was advised to unfreeze those bureaus and reapply. The person with whom I spoke at "Cardmember Investigations" advised that this was a new policy and it was ironclad.

Based on the fact that other people still report approvals with ARS / SageStream frozen, I feel like this is either (a) applied solely to business cards, or (b) only applicable if a card goes to manual review.
