Flexperks Real-Time Rewards Confirmed Merchants:
Flexperks listed examples: "United, American, British Airways, Emirates, JetBlue, Southwest, Delta, Sun Country", however BEWARE that "non U.S. merchants" are not supposed to work (i.e. British Airway & Emirates). Supervisor has said that this list hasn't been updated to exclude non-US airlines. Note that it will be difficult to get any transactions covered if Real-time Rewards do not work automatically.

I'll have to keep that in mind. I was looking for shirts but the cheapest right now was $130. I'll do some more research and may take advantage of it. Thanks for the input.

I don't usually shop at NM either, but I stock up on Clinique makeup at Macy's every few months. I'm going to stock up at NM this time around. Prices don't seem to differ.

Help! I've had & used this card for a long time and have 131,000 points on it. I need 140k for 2 tickets to Europe (travel is in late Sept.).
I'll buy the points if I have to ($270), but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some very fast posting bonuses?
Does anyone know how fast points post? I'm not against mis-charging a work expense (at which I would get reimbursed by my company) against it, but how long will it take them to show up after I pay it? I never paid attention to it before so need some suggestions.
Thanks!

Got a mailing this week about different ways to earn FlexPoints. On the last page, it listed DailyFeats.com as "Earn FlexPoints for healthy habits."
Well, I signed up yesterday and I already have enough points to redeem for 500 FlexPoints. That's the good news.
The bad news is that I can only redeem for FlexPoints once every 3 months and all the other rewards are pretty much junk. Oh, well, it's a super easy extra 2000 FlexPoints per year! Why, yes, thank you, I will take $40 free in travel for doing next to nothing.

Upgrading to US Bank FlexPerks
Hello everyone,
I currently have the US Bank Platinum card which I just keep to help AAoA but rarely ever use. I just read about the Niemen Marcus offer of 3500 points for $50 purchase but I would have upgrade to the US Bank FlexPerks card to take advantage.
I called US Bank and I qualify to upgrade, but looking at the benefits on the website it doesn't seem like there's much advantage in the FlexPerks over the Platinum. I'd get 1 point for dollar vs 1 point for 2 dollars with FlexPerks. It seems as if the FlexPerks card is better for redeeming for travel but I am not sure if the Platinum has those capabilities either and the phone rep was not very helpful.
Any suggestions or places to look for more info?
Thank you

If I cancel in 24 hours, do my award points get redeposited?
Sorry if this has been asked before; forty pages is a lot to go through. I know that according to the law, I have 24 hours to cancel a purchased flight and get my money back. My question is, does this law apply to airline tickets purchased with US BANK Flexperks rewards? I tried calling US BANK and was not getting a clear explanation. The CS agent just kept saying that what happens is dependent on the airlines. She couldn't tell me with a simple yes or no if the law applies to rewards points.
I would like to know if I "purchase" a flight with Flexperks Points, and cancel within 24 hours, would those points be redeposited into my Flexperks account?

And not everyone who has the card got that particular NM bonus. That's been documented in recent pages of this thread.
