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.

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?

Flexperks points will not be refunded - normal airline rules apply to any ticket changes.
I hope this information is helpful.

OTOH, you look at their stuff and it's easy to remember that Kohl's might have the $50 utility knife on sale at $5 or the $60 gloves at $5. Of course it's not the same manufacturer or the quality level as at NM, though one wonders whether that's noticeable in many cases.
I might make myself do it anyway. After all, the points go toward buying a ticket that earns miles, and I just got back from a trip to Dubai with the main ticket paid by the points.
BTW, I've noticed that some other "double points" cards still have the same points-to-dollars rate because they give out more points but have worse conversion rates to fare dollars, effectively canceling out the double points part. I hope US Bank doesn't have to match this practice just to be competitive. There seems to be a general trend toward trying to break out of the dollar-per-point standard to fool the consumer into thinking he's getting more when he isn't. They just inflate the award cost right along with the points given out, and the net effect is that it's just tougher to understand.

Same here, just got the Needless Markup promo. I s'pose with an optimal points-to-dollars value of 2 cents a point (if you can find a ticket for exactly $400, $600, $800 WITHOUT GOING OVER, like on "The Price is Right") the 3,500 optimally converts to $70 so it's not a bad deal.
I've gotten two tickets with FlexPerks so far, one for $397 the other for $392. Got the $25 credit on those as well. Not bad, I think.

White card options?
I applied for the Olympics promo, and received the white card instead with a $10K limit. Unfortunately I didn't notice until much later (rookie mistake). In my last AOR I tried for the Club Carlson card but was denied - too many recent inquiries. Now I get a letter saying the limit on my white card has been increased to $15K.
What are my options here? I have no use for the white card, but I'd still like to get the Club Carlson card. Will US Bank transfer the credit line with a phone call and give the sign-up bonus? Any other good options?

I got the NM bonus, and bought ~$50 worth of makeup. My statement just closed, but I don't see the bonus. Terms and conditions say 6-8 weeks. Is everyone else still waiting for their bonus, or should I follow up?
