Our Verdict
Bigger than the 25,000 bonus offered earlier this year but not as big as the Olympics bonuses. You can often get the same offer but with only $500 spend required when you look for pre-approved offers. Keep in mind that FlexPoints are now worth a maximum of 1.5¢ per point as well. As always read these things everybody should know about U.S. Bank credit cards before applying. This card is also eligible for real time rewards. U.S. Bank can be tricky for approvals so some people will prefer to get the Altitude Reserve instead.

What are the FlexPoints worth for straight cashback or statement credit?

Flexperks cards come with free gogoinflight vouchers too
I did the Olympics one and I really found the FlexPerks to be a bit of a PITA to use. For airline tickets, for example, you can only use them in increments of the ticket price. So rather than getting $550 of cost reduction on the trip I booked I only got $300 and not I have an extra $250 to spend somewhere.
I guessing you booked through the portal, or before 2018?
I know when I booked through the airline this year, all charges went to the credit card and I instantly got a text message to convert points to cover the entire charge. Showed up as a statement credit – completely covering my charges. Anything that codes as travel will do this (if you sign up) at the 1.5c/point rate.
I think your talking about the confusing old program, at 2c/point.
There is a business version as well. (26,667 points)
FYI – earlier this month, I got a mailer offering 35000 Flexpoints for $2000 spend. Annual fee is waived the first year. May be YMMV but also may be worth calling in to see if it’s possible to get matched to this offer.
