I just did my first text redemption and it worked perfectly.
So, is it correct to calculate it as: $.03 per $1.00 spent (when using ApplePay or buying Travel) and then redeeming at 1.5X the value means I'm actually getting $.045 per dollar in rewards/credit?

Did US Bank fix the problem with earning points when using Google Pay?
Android Pay does not exist any longer. It has been several months. And US Bank keeps advertising earning points for something that does not exist!

I think they did. My coworker got the card recently and he used it with google pay. He've got 3x for that. My statement closes today or tomorrow, and I have 1 GP charge. I will verify that as well.

Appreciate the update after your statement closed.
I have been approved for the card, and am waiting to receive it in the mail.

I know a while ago, US Bank made it possible to transfer FlexPerks points to Altitude Reserve. Did they make it possible to transfer Altitude Reserve points to FlexPerks?

I just got my annual fee on my card.

Does the $325 credit start now? Or did it start in 2018 and I should have used the $325 before annual fee came up?

Starts now - the credit is on anniversary year not calendar year

No it's not possible. But you can transfer Flexperks to AR. I cashed all my Flexperks points. Will do the same with AR points.

2nd year annual fee & travel credit

Do we know if we can use second year $300 travel credit and then cancel within the refund period for the annual fee? My second year annual fee will be charged this month and I plan on cancelling.

I hate this card.

the can’t do partial flight prices is really harmful.

never paying the fee again

are there retention offers?

Can u burn travel credit in time to cancel and get annual fee removed?

RELEASE THE DATA POINTS!!!!
