Im not sure about that. Last month I put 17K on this card and month before 13K. I have 3500 for $3000 offer.

my offer was 2500 points for $2000 spend (low spend card). family member received an email with no offer (barely used card) :O

Churnable?
 

How churnable are US Bank cards? I just spent the remainder of the 60K points I accumulated from the Olympic promo, NM promo, and opening up a biz card. I just closed my personal card and I'm greedily thinking of applying for it again.

Infinitely, at least as of two summers ago. I got the card in March/April or so with 17.5k, then got another during the Olympics for 33k. Had both open until my first annual fee was gonna hit, then did a PC to Cash+ (no annual fee). I might get another in January if they run a Winter Olympics promotion :cool:

Oohh! Great idea. I hadn't thought of waiting for another Olympics promo.

I got the same 3,500 Flexpoints for $9,500, too. I have planned to spend that amount anyway even without the bonus. Better than no bonus I guess.

If I am reading the award chart correctly its 20K per ticket up to $400. So if I wanted to fly my family of four domestically and found 4 tix for 299 each, ($1,196) total it would be 80K flex points, not 60K?

Skimming the thread, it looks like a possible work around may be with the airlines themselves - e.g. find 3 $400 SWA tix, then use their refund policy to cancel for credit and re-book 4 $300 tix myself?

I don't know if you can book SWA but the 4x300 wouldn't work.

I was trying to do 2x$193 UA tickets. No go on the phone or website with 20k

Thanks, that's what I thought.

Data point for people who have both the personal and business cards: I converted my personal card into a no-fee cash + cc to avoid the annual fee. I kept my business card open. I had 238 points left between the two accounts... when I converted, that turned into a $2.38 credit on the cash+ account and brought my FlexPerks balance down to 0. I don't care either way, I redeemed all my FlexPerks points for tickets before I cancelled. Seems like it's a good idea to use up everything before closing or converting an account - even if you have a business account.

yesterday I called US Bank to ask about this inability to transfer points, the apologetic explanation I got from the CSR boils down to this:

• they are still working thorugh technical difficulties during the transition of the rewards program from an external company to US bank
• no one (not a customer, not a CSR) currently has the ability to transfer flexpoints between accounts

The rep was unsure if the transfer option would return or not. ("hopefully, but we just don't know...")

Transfer option has been gone for over a month now and no one seems to know if or when it will return.

i had to cancel some hotel bookings and am wondering if they consider returns in determining spend eligibility .. any one been through this before?

Hotel cancellations
 

Has anybody tried to cancel hotel reservation booked with Flexperks points?
I called today to cancel and they told me it's going to be $25 cancellation fee. I asked how many points I will get back and nobody could give me an answer.
Flexperks sent me to Travelocity, Travelocity sent me back to Flexperks.
After talking several times to each other I understood that nobody knows how many points I will get back so I am hesitant to cancel.
Overall I am very disappointed with customer service.

SWA can be booked through the phone, but the wanna get away web fare on SWA's website will not be available when you call in, so it's a bit of a challenge to find a roundtrip that is close to $400.
