Since my annual fee should be posted any day now, I wanted to point out a separate thread about the FlexPerks cards. There is a new AMEX card which you may get an offer of a relationship bonus to make it free after the first year if you have another US Bank account. Of course, US Bank customer "service" being what it is, there is no mention of the retention bonus on the card carrier when you get it, and they deny any knowledge of it when you ask.

retentions department's phone number no longer in service per front line agent. still no offers on my account. transferred points to family member and will likely close my account before 30 day mark (30 days after posting of annual fee).

Called for retention on a Club Carlson business card I've had for a few years. The rep was very nice but very confused. I don't think they get many retention calls and it wasn't really something he had considered as a possibility.
He checked the card for any kind of offer but all he had was a balance transfer promo.
I'll probably keep it open. The 40k points are roughly breakeven and it's nice to have the Gold status on the occasions I do stay in the chain.

I have a newbie question. Currently I have two flexperks cards, one visa and one amex. I'd like to transfer points from my amex card to my visa card and then close the amex card. My question is that will the transferred points expire after I close the amex card? Thanks!

Do you have 2 Flexperks account numbers, one for each card?

So I just called to cancel my Flexperks Visa Signature. Since I have another Flexperks card open, they transferred all my points to the other card (it was more than the 20,000 annual limit on transfers). They then offered to downgrade to the Visa Platinum, which has no annual fee and offers cell phone insurance if you use it pay your monthly bill.

FlexPerks Business Travel Edge
Just called about 27 days after the annual fee posted, first anniversary, FlexPerks Business Travel Edge card ($55 annual fee). Very polite rep confirmed that I had already redeemed/transferred all the points and immediately closed it with no retention offer.
Wasn't really looking for an offer since I plan to apply for a different US Bank card and wanted to free up the credit limit anyway.

My annual fee hit today (03/06/2020) so I called in to check what retention offers were available. CSR offered me 1,000 points.
