About US Bank Flex Perks

Flex Perks offer a diverse reward system. They can be redeemed towards travel, merchandise rewards, gift cards, statement credit and uniquely real-time mobile rewards after setting up and activating your account. The best redemption is through the U.S. Bank portal, specifically purchasing airline tickets. Revisit your love for Orbitz when collecting these points because going through U.S. Banks online store, clicking the Orbitz portal and booking new flights with your Flex Points will give you some outstanding value -- possibly worth more than you’ve ever seen. Another good redemption option -- both easy and fast -- is booking directly with the merchants and then getting compensated with a statement credit. That way you can earn points on your upfront purchase.

Earning is easy with your sign-up bonus and 2 points per $1 spent on most cell phone service providers, charitable donations and one of these 3 alternating categories: gas, groceries or airline tickets. If you hate keeping track of which card to whip out while making what purchase, this one will do the math for you and just apply the 2 points toward whichever category you spent the most money on during the last billing cycle.
