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.

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.

Airline cancelled my flight on that date. They cancelled it 2 months ago! I have never received any communication about that from Flexperks! I found out that incidentally when checking airline schedule online. I called Flexperks, they contacted airlines and airlines refunded tickets. But Flexperks is saying it will take 6-8 weeks to get points back!!! I tried to escalate it, but with no result!

I applied and got approved for Flexperks Bus and Flexperks Personal card on Aug 30th. Was approved for both(one after a week and one after calling recon).
Today I get a call that both my cards have been cancelled. Because I made a purchase of gift cards at simon mall outlet in the amount of $2500. They also cited opening of 5 new accounts on the credit report being a factor. But they just approved one card 3 weeks ago and one just 4 days ago. I haven't even received the personal card yet. The $2500 purchase was made on the business card.
What a bummer !
I think the alarm bells rang at US Bank when they saw that transaction. I should have known better and been more careful with this card.

"Please allow 6-8 weeks after the promotion ends on September 30, 2016, for the Visa....." from a cached page of the original promotion site. Still waiting over here! Made a charitable donation today to put me over the edge of 40k points. Woohoo!
