News: U.S. Bank's FlexPerks Number One
Do you travel a lot? If so, this might interest you. For travelers who fly on a number of different airlines it can be difficult to accumulate enough points on one airline credit card be take advantage of the rewards. With a U.S. Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature credit card, you can apply rewards to more than just one airline. Voted the "Best Credit Card if You Want Travel Perks" by Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, U.S. Bank is celebrating the card's one year anniversary. With FlexPerks, cardholders get more for their points. While most airline cards issue a $200 award ticket for 20,000 points, FlexPerks gives its cardholders a $350 award ticket for the same number of points.
U.S. Bank has added some new amenities to the FlexPerks credit card. When travelers receive an awards ticket, they will also receive a $25 allowance toward baggage fees or in-flight food or drink. The card comes with an annual fee which can also be paid with FlexPoints. It doesn't end there; FlexPerks credit cardholders can redeem as few as 20,000 FlexPoints for up to $400 toward airline tickets on more than 150 airlines. Travel is powered by Travelocity for FlexPoint redemption. With FlexPoints, there are no blackout dates, capacity controls or e-ticket booking fees.
FlexPerks Travel Rewards credit cardholders can also redeem FlexPoints for merchandise from a list of impressive and leading retailers. And, if all of this isn't enough, cardholders can redeem FlexPoints for cash back toward their card account balance. Cardholders earn one point for each dollar spent and in some cases, two points. One of the greatest advantage is that with a FlexPerks Travel Rewards card, cardholders have the benefit of choosing the rewards that best suit their lifestyles. Lastly, U.S. Bank cardholders who have a checking account with the bank receives up to an additional 50 percent of FlexPoints. Well, if I haven't convinced you to run out and get a U.S. Bank FlexPerks card, at least my time isn't wasted because I have convinced myself that I need a FlexPerks.
