Sounds like you applied for the business version? Usually you'll receive two separate terms documents on a business card from them; one will show the annual fee and one will not. Regardless, they often don't show the annual fee waived in the paperwork anyway.

Yes, it was the business. These terms list the purchase and balance transfer rate, along with the annual fee and how they apply payments and other stuff. I mainly just found it odd about the 0% promotional rate, when the website didn't have it then and doesn't show it now.

applied 3/11
approved 3/13
I just received card. CSR indicated no olympic bonus on card and is requesting i fax in written request with proof of bonus offer. I didn't take screenshot of offer/app page when I applied. Lesson learned!
Just wondering if anyone can post image of the offer with the 3/14 end date?

Ran all the spend through Kiva right away. 1st statement closed and I received 27,050 "Bonus points" and 3,525 "Earned points" (for my spend). Ann fee waived.
I thought the bonus was 27,450? Someone count wrong? Also thought Kiva was a 3x charity bonus category. Regardless, will be used or some good hotel and flight redemptions to save money.

I would like to request someone...anyone who has one...to post a pic of the offer page for the Olympic Bonus. I met min spend in first month and the olympic points never posted. I called and they said I had no olympic bonus associated with my account and I would need to fax or mail in the offer I applied for. Of course I didn't take a screenshot so please help!

In my experience US Bank has been VERY slow for bonus postings. I got the Korean Air card last year for 40k. 20k first purchase + 20k after $2500 spend.
I did all spend in 1 week. 20k came with statement and the other 20k came 12 weeks later. Crazy.
I need my bonus flexperks to get my balance up to the magic 30k number. I may just throw some more spend on it in case a $600 fare pops up that I need sooner.
Has anyone gotten the Sochi bonus yet?
