- gift cards range from 3500 for $25 to 12000 for $100
- "cash" (check mailed to you) ranges from 2500 for $12.50 to 20000 for $160
- you can supposedly also redeem for statement credit, but I can't find the table for that
- hotel is theoretically 1 cent per point, but the $ they quote seems high, based on a spot-comparison with Orbitz

Now that the card is officially out, can someone confirm that it just earns cashback and not anything like FlexPerks? It would actually be very useful if it earned some kind of flexible points that could be used for more than mere cashback.

So I got my card in the mail today and set up online banking. I noticed when I clicked on the rewards tab there is an option to transfer points. This message comes up:
Transfer Points
You can quickly and easily transfer your reward Points from this card to another rewards card issued by your financial institution. Follow these easy steps:
Enter account number to transfer to.
Enter the desired number of reward Points you would like to transfer.
Confirm and submit transfer.
Based on this message I think these points might be transferrable to other U.S. Bank cards (flex perks?). I don't have any other U.S. Bank cards so I can't experiment.

Could you take a screenshot of the rewards management page, being sure to redact any information you don't want to expose?
Also, could you look through the rewards details you received with the card?

I believe points are transferable between individuals, so if you know anyone who does have a Flex Perks card, you can try transferring a small amount to them.

Here is a screenshot of the rewards tab. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has a Flex Perks account.

I called both Fidelity and Elan about the rewards program (the latter told me it was distinctly FlexPerks-like), and the reps also indicated that the new cards would be received "in June or July".

How do you think they'll handle people who got FIA very recently? Aren't there CARD act issues with changing the card within the first year? I've only had mine since October..
