US Bank Flexperks Business Card Offers Lounge Access via Regus

I was recently surprised to receive the below mailer from the US Bank FlexPerks Business program, as it was never listed as an added benefit. As a quick reminder, we received both the personal and business version of the FlexPerks card from US Bank back in May 2012, and have been working on meeting our minimum spends.

Additional information on the FlexPerks/Regus promotion can be viewed at regus.com/flexperks.

While I do not have any particular use for this benefit at this time, I can see how this could be a tremendous asset to other businesses.

Discover Card Double Miles on All Purchases in August 2012

Discover Card Double Miles Aug 2012

Credit card companies, or at least all the cards I seem to be holding, are all clambering to get my spend. We are still trying to meet the $2,500 spend on the U.S. Bank FlexPerks Business line, the $750 for three month offer from US Airways, which I have not done anything on yet, and then of course there is the ridiculous offer from Discover on my wife’s Miles card. Now both my wife and my Discover Miles accounts are showing a sign-up to receive double miles between August 15-31, 2012.

Simply sign into your account, and on the right side it will say if your account qualifies for double miles in the last two weeks of August. Spend $250 before August 31, 2012, and receive up to 500 miles on ALL purchases.

Discover Card Double Miles Aug 2012-2

Update: People are also reporting being targeted for this promotion with the Discover More card; able to earn 2% cashback on all purchases in addition to whatever else earning you may receive. Sadly, our card was not targeted.

I need to either start hanging out at places where people still pay cash or start a service for people to pay me cash, and I will put it on the card. Otherwise, staying on top of which card to use when becomes mind boggling. Anyone have expenses over the next couple of months they want me to pay for them and reimburse me in cash or money order?

I guess I could always just go sit in a restaurant and for each person that pays cash, have them pay me until I meet the minimum bonus offer spend. I guess I would need to alert my card issuers of my pending 20-30 charges per day at the same location, huh?

1,000 Free US Bank FlexPerks Points

Update 8/17/12: I received the below offer on both our personal and business lines with U.S. Bank, and they both let me register for each portion of the bonus offer. However, both our lines are tied to one FlexPerks account number, so I do not know for sure yet if our account will be credited multiple times for the same offer.

Last week we received a mailer from U.S. Bank going over some of the many benefits of our FlexPerks Visa card. As a quick reminder, we received both a personal and business versions of the U.S. Bank FlexPerks cards just prior to going to Hawaii in June. We determined the cards made sense for us due to some nice targeted offers. Right now the best available FlexPerks offer is the promo paired with the Olympics, which is offering enough points totally over $700 in available travel once you meet the minimum spend.
