considering US SKANK likes to board accounts and 6 months later make major devaluations of rewards & benefits is something to think about before applying for this new offer.

 

I'll be too busy at the May Day parade to apply day 1.

They love to nerf, eh?

What is a mobile wallet? Like ApplePay or Android Pay?

I assume so. something that people under the age of 29 know about.

 

Hah, I assume that is what it is also.

 

You are able to order online via Apple Pay( on supported sites ) with the new MacBooks that have the touchbar.

I'm interested to see what Visa Infinite perks they activate for this product.

 

With the travel credit, this card would cost me $50/yr (acutally less since you're getting the points on the $350 spend which is getting credited back so it's really like $34)

 

$34 for the right Infinite services could be a steal.

If the rewards are like FlexPerks you will only be able to redeem them in 10,000-point increments... and won't be able to do a cash co-pay.

There's no mention of FlexPerks anywhere, so let's hope they are just trying to imitate Chase's 1.5¢/point redemption.

 

If the Visa Infinite perks are full blown, as in include the Infinite $100 companion fare discount, this card is a no-brainer for me or the wife.

 

Here's Infinite Visa companion fare info (scroll past the RC part to the $100 airfare) http://frequentmiler.boardingarea.com/2016/08/11/visa-infinite-a-path-to-elite-status-for-couples/

My brother text me today and said he noticed the name of his cash+ card had changed to Flex+ in his online login. He still has all the Cash+ categories. Maybe they're doing a full scale overhaul of names. Lol.

Did he do a PC to his current card? Mine still says FlexPerks Amex, even though I PCd it to Cash+ late last year and the AF Refund posted in December.

 

I can choose my categories, and they've been paying out according to my selections.

Let's hope there isn't a 44th devaluation on the Cash+. I just started using it for 5% on car rentals and Amazon. Edited by cv91915

Is that 6.25% if redeemed in $100 incriments?

This certainly won't make me stop using my C$R, and the 3x mobile wallet is not that useful to me. I also would not use a $100 companion domestic economy class benefit either. The signup bonus is certainly worth it though, so I may app for this and then PC to a Cash+ after a year. I still don't have any US Skank cards in my arsenal.

 

 

 

 

  • 3X points on mobile wallet purchases

 

This could be interesting.

 

 

The number of merchants that accept Apple Pay that I actually use is pretty low, and I wouldn't even consider trying to M$ a US Bank card.

 

 

As Konrad said, we'll have to see if they activate all the Visa Infinite benefits. It looks like a decent card.

Really? You never take short hops within Texas, or to New Orleans etc?

 

I look at the Mobile Wallet as $10K/mo at CVS. Easy way to turn $1K into nearly $5K in travel.

Isn't US Bank really adverse to M$?

 

We typically drive as far as San Antonio.

If you don't hammer them I think they're ok. Don't cycle your credit limit or send them a bunch of anonymous payments. Edited by Konrad2012
