Targeted 3,500 U.S. Bank FlexPerks Offers
Yesterday I received in my email a targeted offer from my U.S. Bank FlexPerks cards (I have a personal and business version of the card), offering to award me 3,500 FlexPoints if I spend $750 between May 1 and June 30, 2013.
After using both of our cards quite extensively in Hawaii last summer, once the cards were paid off, I placed them into the safe. The initial points I earned from both cards, as well as after spend, has me sitting on over 43,000 FlexPerks, that will be used towards $800 in flights in the future. The trouble is finding some time to actually use them.
If I were to take part in this promotion, I would earn 3,500 + 750 FlexPoints, or 4,250 points. Since the spend is relatively low, and we could easily meet this promotion with our everyday expenditures, I might just partake. The only thing that would make me hold back is the points do not get me closer to a reward.
The minimum amount of points required for a redemption is 20,000 points towards $400 in air travel expenses. Thereafter, the program works in 10,000 point blocks. Since I currently have 43,000+ points, even after earning the 4,250 points from the promotion above, I am still a little bit away from the 50,000 point level = $1,000 towards air travel. Tempting, but it would mean I would need to continue to move my spend to this card to get the maximum benefit.
The other way to look at this as is 3,500 points is enough to cover the annual fee, which I have due in May.
