Earning Points

U.S. Bank will credit your Account with Points as follows. You will earn 1 Point for every $1 in eligible Net Purchases (Net Purchases are purchases minus credits and returns) made with your Account. 

In addition, you will earn Points for the following Net Purchases

  • 5 Points (1 base and 4 bonus Points) for every $1 on prepaid car and hotel reservations in the Rewards Travel Center using your rewards credit card instead of Points. Prepaid car and hotel reservations in the travel center are not classified as a travel category merchant transaction and are only eligible for additional bonus points in the prepaid car and hotel reservation category. The 4 bonus Points will be deposited into your reward account after payment has been processed. Please allow 1-2 statement billing cycles for the 4 bonus Points to appear on your credit card statement. Purchased hotel and car transactions will appear on your credit card statement as RTI*TravelCenter*. The 4 bonus Points will appear on your Points earning statement and in your Points history in the Rewards Center as “4 EXTRA POINTS: PURCHASE TRAVEL.” If cancellation is permitted and you cancel a hotel or car rental reservation for which you have earned 4 bonus Points, the 4 bonus Points will be reversed. If Points and cash are used for payment when there is more than one type of travel reservation in the cart, Points will be split equally across the components of the reservation. The cash portion of the payment will be applied to any remaining balance(s). The 4 bonus Points will be calculated on the cash portion of the eligible hotel and car components.
  • 2 Points (1 base and 1 bonus Point) for every $1 on gas station and electric vehicle charging station purchases. Purchases at discount stores/supercenters and wholesale clubs will earn only 1 Point.
  • 2 Points (1 base and 1 bonus Point) for every $1 in grocery store and supermarket purchases. Purchases at discount stores/supercenters such as Target and Walmart and wholesale clubs will earn only 1 Point.
     

Merchants identify their business by selecting a merchant category code established by Visa. A Purchase will not earn additional Points if the merchant’s selected code is in a category that is not eligible for additional Points earning. We do not determine the category codes that merchants choose and reserve the right to determine which Purchases qualify for additional Points.

Your Account must be open and current (not past due or overlimit) on the closing date for the billing cycle in order to earn Points. Subject to credit availability, the number of Points that may accumulate in any monthly billing cycle for your Account is unlimited. “Net Purchases” for a statement period are determined by totaling all new purchases charged to the Account during the billing cycle, then subtracting credits posted to the Account during the billing cycle for returned Purchases and/or adjustments.

If credits during a statement period exceed Purchases, the credit balance will be carried over to the following billing cycles and offset against future Purchases charged to the Account for purposes of awarding Points. We may round Net Purchases up or down to a whole dollar amount for purposes of awarding Points. Points will not be awarded for any billing cycle if your Account is closed or is not in good standing on the closing date for that billing cycle. Points will only be awarded for “Purchases” (as defined in the Cardmember Agreement) and will not be awarded for transactions posting as Convenience Checks; Balance Transfers; Advances (including ATM withdrawals, wire transfers, traveler's checks, money orders, foreign cash transactions, betting transactions, and lottery tickets); interest charges and fees; credit insurance premiums; and transactions to (i) fund certain prepaid card products, (ii) buy currency from the U.S. Mint, or (iii) buy cash convertible items. We reserve the right to adjust or reverse the number of Points that were awarded for unauthorized transactions. Further, this Account is intended to be used for the purchase of various products and services for personal, family, and household purposes, and we have the right to adjust or reverse the number of Points that were awarded or terminate the Account if we determine that purchases or transactions were outside of such use, including, without limitation, excessive or patterned purchases of cash equivalent instruments, such as gift cards, rewards cards, and other prepaid cards. Points are considered earned when they are posted to the redemption system. Accounts will be updated monthly. Points may take up to 60 days to be posted following a qualifying purchase. Points cannot be earned until an Account has been assigned. No retroactive credit will be given for prior purchases. Points from different Accounts may not be combined. Points cannot be used in conjunction with other frequency or reward programs.

Redeeming Points

The complete range and variety of available Travel Rewards, Gift Card Rewards, Merchandise Rewards, Event Ticket Rewards and any other Program Rewards, and the number of points needed to obtain each reward is described via the U.S. Bank Rewards Center at usbank.com or calling 888-229-8864. U.S. Bank and/or third party vendors may change or terminate participating merchants, withdraw, limit, modify, or cancel any rewards, add an unlimited number of blackout dates, or increase the number of points required for any reward at any time without advance notice, even though such changes may affect the accrual or value of points or rewards. Maximum Point value applies to Points redeemed for a deposit into an eligible U.S. Bank Account. The redemption value may be different if you choose to redeem your Points for other rewards such as travel, merchandise, gift cards, and/or statement credit. Other restrictions apply. Establishment or ownership of a U.S. Bank Account or other relationship with U.S. Bank is not required to obtain a card or to be eligible to use Points to obtain any rewards offered under the program. Minimum redemption amounts may vary and are subject to change without notice. Reward redemption is subject to availability based upon Cardmember’s Account mailing address. Also, in most cases, ship-to address must be a street address; APO/FPO/PO Box addresses may not be accepted. 

You may only redeem points for rewards if the outstanding balance of your Account is below its credit limit and if your Account is open and in good standing under the terms of your Cardmember Agreement. Points are not transferable and cannot be used as payment for obligations owed to U.S. Bank or its affiliates. Exception: Cardmembers can choose to redeem their earned points for a statement credit to be applied to their Account by accessing the Rewards Center at usbank.com. The statement credit will reduce the Account balance, but does not count as a payment and thus does not reduce the minimum payment due. There are no refunds, exchanges, replacements or conversions for currency, credits, other points or rewards for no-shows or unused portions or rewards, unless otherwise noted.

We reserve the right to verify and adjust points at any time before or after posting any redemption. Subject to applicable law, you may not redeem points, and you will immediately lose all of your points, if your Account is closed to future transactions (including, but not limited to, due to Program misuse, failure to pay, bankruptcy, or death).

Points will expire at the end of the calendar quarter, at 11:00 p.m. Central Time, that is five (5) years from the date on which they were earned. Points are redeemed or expire on a first-in, first-out basis, so that the points you earned are used first before later earned points. 

For redemptions, inquiries, and updates, Cardmembers may visit the U.S. Bank Rewards Center at usbank.com or call the Rewards Center anytime at 888-229-8864. All Point redemptions are final.

Real-Time Rewards

With Real-Time Rewards, you may instantly redeem Points for your credit card Purchases via text messaging. The Points redemption comes in the form of a credit to your monthly billing statement. Points will be deducted from your Points balance and a credit for the Purchase amount will be applied to your Account billing statement when you request redemption. For transactions which include a gratuity, fees, or estimated taxes, the statement credit may not equal your final Purchase amount. Auto bill pay transactions will be part of Real-Time Rewards text messages if the Purchase falls within your preference selections. Real-Time Rewards text messages are available only for transactions with U.S. merchants. You may sign up for Real-Time Rewards using your 10-digit U.S. mobile number. Only one mobile number may be used per credit card account. If any changes are made to your Account that will affect the card number, account ownership or your rewards program, you will need to re-enroll in Real-Time Rewards. Message and data rates may apply. The short code REDEEM (733336) is used by Real-Time Rewards to send redemption requests. Message frequency is based upon the preferences you select and the Purchases you make on your Account. Text ‘HELP’ to REDEEM (733336) for Help. Text ‘STOP’ to REDEEM (733336) to cancel your participation in Real-Time Rewards.

You must have enough points to cover the entire purchase in order to receive a text message to redeem. Merchants who accept Visa cards are assigned a merchant code based on the kinds of products and services they sell. U.S. Bank does not control how Purchases are processed by merchants or the merchant codes they use; therefore, U.S. Bank cannot guarantee that a specific transaction will qualify. Your Account must remain in good standing in order to redeem. You may redeem by replying ‘REDEEM’ within 24 hours of when the message was sent. You may only redeem the most recent Real-Time Rewards text message. Upon confirmation of a redemption request, Points will be deducted from your Points balance immediately, and a credit to your statement will be processed within three business days and will appear on your next billing statement. The Account statement credit for a Real-Time Rewards redemption will reduce the Account balance, but will not count toward the minimum payment due. All redemptions are final.
