Original Post:

Reader Bacon reports on a deal to get double cash back on offers within their credit card portal from March 27 – March 30th.

They also highlight that the deal can be substantial when paired with offers such as 15% cash back on Grocery (up to $25 cashback max) or 10% back at IKEA (up to $20 cashback max).

  • I'm a little confused. Is it double credit card rewards like BofA does in early November (which conveniently comes just in time for me to pay all my property taxes)?

    Or is this just some shopping portal that US Bank runs that will be offering double cashback?

    • It is NOT double credit card rewards. It’s double cash-back deals. It applies to both the cash-back offers in the app/online banking AND the Shopping Deals portal.

      The cash-back deals are credited twice, with the initial base amount crediting in the normal timeframe (~ 4 biz days) and the second promo amount crediting roughly a month later. I’m not sure if the Shopping Deals portal pays out in one lump sum or not.

  • As I scroll through the comments this deal seems to be tied to the Smartly card maybe? I have the US Bank Altitude Connect so maybe no dice for me....

    • Nope. To be eligible for cash-back deals, you need a personal debit/credit card. For the exclusive Smart Rewards cash-back deals, you need to be enrolled in Smart Rewards and have a personal credit card. Also, this Double Bonus Days offer is for "rewards credit cardholders".

      • @guest_2005507 thank you for this info. Researching it further, you need to be in the "Primary Tier" in order to get these deals which is 20K in assets at USB. I thought it was only $1,500 but that's the number needed to waive the monthly checking fee, not to get the "Smart Rewards" cashback deals. That answers my question why I'm not seeing hem even though I have an Altitude Go card.

        Thanks again for pointing everyone in the right direction. I believe that after May 19th you'll need to be in the new "Gold" tier in order to get these "Smart Rewards" (which is 25k) since the Primary tier is being discontinued.....but I'm not positive on that?

        • Yep, I’m not sure what will happen. I’m currently in the primary tier through the military group as a veteran, but after May 19th the military group doesn’t get a Smart Rewards tier anymore. Waiting to see if I’ll keep seeing Smart Rewards cash-back deals or not.

          • I'm in the same pickle as you @guest_2005507 and I just called them to see what they have to say and the rep said nothing will change, we will still receive the same benefits we've always had.

            Guess we will find out for sure in a couple days.

          • Most of the benefits that are currently included in the Plus tier are just being added directly as military group benefits. A few of the tier benefits are being removed in general. However, the “exclusive cash-back deals” benefit (aka Smart Rewards deals) wasn’t added to the military group. Hopefully that was an oversight and we still get them.

          • That was one of the things I asked about and she said they would continue for us so hopefully she knew of what she spoke.

            If not, I'll go back to doing the bonuses every year or two to make up the difference.

    • No mention of it on my dashboard when I logged in just now.
      No good offers for June on my Cash+ anyway.

    • Are you not seeing this offer or not seeing offers at all? If not seeing, do you have a bid relationship with US Bank? That seems to preclude those of us from seeing the meechant offers.

      • @guest_2061425 would you or someone else be able to explain where people are seeing these "Smartly Checking" offers on the website like 15% cashback at a home improvement store?

        As I understand it, these are NOT the merchant offers that show under "Cashback Deals" (and are being doubled 6/11-6/13/25). Or are they?

        Also, I do not have a Smartly credit card, just a Smartly Checking account and the Altitude Go credit card. Will I not see these special checking offers either?

        Thank you in advance for your assistance!

        • They show up mixed in with the other cash-back deals. These deals have a red bar on top of their icons that says “Smart Rewards”.

          • @guest_2005507 thank you for replying. I know that you need a Smartly Checking account to be eligible for these. Do you also specifically need the Smartly credit card or will any US Bank card enable you to see these "Smart Rewards" deals?

        • @guest_2061524 Since I started as a biz customer with US Bank, I've never seen any of those offers, whether it be merchant or Smartly Checking offers, so I don't know where they are seeing them.

  • Smarty Rewards as followed that just dropped this morning for me.

    1. Earn 15% CB up to $15 for Home Improvement Store
    2. Earn 10% CB up to $20 for Stubhub
    3. Earn 15% CB up to $25 for Athleta

    I will wait for the double day since these offer expires June 30!

    • The past few times they’ve actually f’ed up and amped this deal lol. They’ve paid out 3 rounds, for triple cashback, instead of double.
