When do you receive the priority select card? I got the credit card almost 3 weeks ago.

do you have to request it or it comes automatically?

You have to sign up through the benefits page in the US Bank site for your card. It doesn't come automatically

you don't get anything extra for letting them sit there, and you risk a big devaluation, if this months Flex pts change is a cue to what can happen.

there are ways to cash out without having to buy travel....yugi is smarter than the average bear....

I agree. It's better to cash out points ASAP at 1.5 rate whenever you have that opportunity. I think it's really going to take lots of time until the Travel industry comes bank to normal.

Well that is the benefit of this card over others that earn points or miles. Cash prices are going to be better than point redemptions for a long time. So you are getting great value at "cash" prices without actually having to pay cash

T-Mobile just announced they now accept Apple Pay, a present for T-Mobile users with an Altitude Reserve.

Tried to extend the 90 days for the signup bonus in the light of slow market but they didn't offer an extension. Heard Chase did it to some, but unlucky here. If any of you succeed let me know so I contact them again.

Hi All, a little confused and got nowhere on the phone with US Bank. Is there any possible way to redeem points for travel purchases in the past? AKA without real-time rewards.

Traveled all of February and would like to use the 1.5c redemption rate with trip event purchases. I see nowhere to do this online except for a blanket statement credit redemption option.

TIA

You need to do it when you get the text message. That's what real time rewards is. I think you're lucked out of old charges. I can be wrong if someone out there can confirm.
