Our Verdict
I got an email about this for my U.S. Bank account/cards, not sure if any other banks are running similar offers.
I’m seeing 15% back at grocery (max $15) and 20% (max $20) at gas stations on my wells fargo cards. Expire 5/29/25, so not much time given (they weren’t there last week).
p2 has both personal and business cards. I know I’ve seen the offers at some points, but I just don’t see them anymore. Any trick to get them to show up? both personal and business are in the same login.
Yes, see the link below.
Well I have a US Bank business card, so I guess I can go and fuck myself.

I wish DoC would make a post about this, since so many folks seem to have this issue, and aren’t aware of the workaround.
This only works if you got an old email with the link to cashback offers?
I don’t have any such emails so it looks like this workaround doesn’t work for me.
Yeah, wish I could remember the subject line. If you’ve had usb cards for awhile, there’s a good chance you’ve probably received it at some point.
The email subject line is “Don’t miss out on these great cash back deals.”
The email is from [email protected]
My email is dated 7/19/22. Also received similar emails in 8/22 and 9/22.
The link within that email still works 3 years later.
Thanks! I checked my emails and I have one single email from them with the cashback link from 2023 (before I unsubscribed to those emails).
It brought me to the offer screen where I was able to activate all of them (without logging in). However, once I log in, there doesn’t appear to be any way for me to verify those offers are applied to my card. I have a personal Altitude Connect card and a business Triple Cash Rewards card. I also do NOT have any bank accounts with them (checking nor savings).
Can you confirm that the cashback still gets applied to the card just from activating the links on that offer page (the one where I wasn’t logged in)? Also, what card will it get applied to? I’m assuming it would be for a personal card? Does it work for any personal card that you have? I only have one so I’m guessing that is what it would default to. Let me know, appreciate your feedback!
Yeah there’s no way to confirm that they’re linked to a specific card but if I were you I’d use the altitude connect. I have three personal and one business and I just always use my altitude reserve whenever I want to use one of the offers. It always credits back to the altitude reserve. I usually get an email a few days after making the purchase and it confirms that I’ve used the offer.
It is such a weird glitch that having a business card makes us unable to see these offers within the app while logged in. So I try to get the word out about this workaround.
FYI US Bank recently devalued their points on various cards by 33% for statement credit redemption. The only way to get full value is to cashback into a US Bank checking account…
DANG! I closed my checking so I guess I get @ 3.35% when I redeem my 5% on cash+ back to the card?
for all the cards or just the Altitude Connect and Go?
Can confirm it doesn’t affect Cash+ nor Triple Biz Rewards (at least, not yet), but definitely affects Altitude GO.
Was on my Smartly card. Went to Home Depot and bought a $100 Apple Gift card and got the credit less than a week later
No such offer on my Cash+.
Will this work if we purchase GC from Home Depot/Lowes ?
Has for me in the past.
Online or only works with instore purchase?
Only tried it in store.
Where can I get the link?
New to USB, just got the business triple cash. Do the business cards get any of these cash back offers? I’ve not been able to find anything in the app so I assume not.
No.
And if you wait to make the purchase between July 11-13 you can get double the cash back.
To qualify for double cash back, you must first activate the offer and then redeem the offer during the June 11th – June 13th period and use your USB debit or credit card. The additional cash back will be credited 6 to 8 weeks after June 13th.
This is what I’m waiting for to use it! Gc here we goooooo.
I am waiting for this
July 11-13 is after June 30 expiration.
My bad, obviously meant June 11-13
Be careful not to trigger it ahead of time. Mine was applied to pest control service fee at my property.
So this will be $34 back (15% + 15% + 4%) on a $100 Home Depot purchase with Smartly card between June 11-13th?
Don’t have the Smartly card so not sure on the additional 4%, thought that card was 2% and that isn’t doubled.
I have the Cash+ card and only expect to get 15%+15% so $30 (maybe an additional 1% from the card itself but I’ve never worried about that extra $1)
