US Bank has card-linked deals that are similar to Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo cards. The nice thing is that most of these are purely card-linked offers, which means that they should stack with rewards earned from a shopping portal (some of them behave like portals, taking you directly to the retailer – in those cases, you can’t double-dip with a shopping portal).
From November 27-29, US Bank will be offering double bonuses on these deals when you activate & use them during the window. That could make for some nice stacks.
The Deal
- US Bank is offering Double Bonuses on all “shopping deals” offers you activate and redeem from November 27-29 in your online account or app.
Terms and Conditions
- To qualify for double cash back, you must first activate the offer and then redeem the offer during the November 27th-29th period and use your US Bank debit or credit card.
- The additional cash back will be credited 6 to 8 weeks after November 29th
Quick Thoughts
In order to receive double cash back, I think that you’ll need to activate and redeem qualifying offers between November 27-29. Based on the terms, I’m never sure with these things if you can redeem an offer that you’ve already activated for double rewards during the bonus window, or if you need to to redeem it AND activate it during the window. Just to be safe, I always do both.
Note that the additional cash back will be credited 6 to 8 weeks after November 29th, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see the additional rewards until 2025. That makes this a bit of a gamble in the sense that it’ll be a long time before you know how it works out and it will probably be a bit of a pain to track, especially if you use multiple offers.
Most offers are a cashback percentage like the ones shown below. There are also some deals that are a set cash back amount, like $40 off of $60.
New offers get added all the time and I have several offers set to expire before this double cash back deal goes live, so it’s might be worth keeping an eye out for useful new offers as they pop up.

And this is over a holiday, when many on-line stores are not going to charge your card till Monday, Dec 2. Disappointed.
The problem is that these are all ON-LINE deals — you can’t just use the card to get gas or buy groceries and get double points.
Hey, These are PORTAL deals. You will be taken to the store to purchase.
Is there a trick to activate the offers in the email from US Bank? I couldn’t get the “activate” button to work? And calling US Bank was less than useless so I gave up. Thx.
