Over the past year, US Bank began offering card-linked deals similar to Bank of America and Wells Fargo cards. Some of the offers are card-linked and others are more like a shopping portal. From March 27-30, US Bank will be offering double cash back on these deals when you activate & use them during that window. That could make for some very good deals.
The Deal
- US Bank is offering Double Cash Back on all offers you activate and redeem from March 27-30 in your credit / debit card login.
Key Terms
- To qualify for double cash back, you must first activate the offer and then redeem the offer during the March 27th-March 30th period and use your US Bank debit or credit card.
- The additional cash back will be credited 6 to 8 weeks after March 30th
Quick Thoughts
In order to receive double cash back, you’ll need to redeem qualifying offers between March 27-30. Unfortunately, the way the sentence is written, it’s a little murky as to whether you also need to activate deals during that time window. My initial read of the terms here was that you need to both activate and redeem the offer between March 27-30, 2024 in order to qualify for double cash back, but a second read sounds more to me like you need to first activate a deal (perhaps at any time?) and then redeem it during the window (which makes more sense to me). YMMV.
Note that the additional cash back will be credited 6 to 8 weeks after March 30th, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see the additional rewards until the end of May.
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 it if you use multiple offers. Still, this could be a solid deal for many of the offers. For instance, I have numerous hotel chain offers for 10% back. Getting 20% back might make it worth stopping by to pick up a gift card.
I also have some deals that are a set cash back amount. I have no idea whether Orkin Pest Control is any good or what their services cost, but I see an offer for $50 back on $50 or more, which I assume would become $100 back on $50 or more with the doubling here.
New offers get added all the time and I have several offers set to expire before this double cash back deal goes live, so I’ll be keeping my eye out for useful new offers to pop up.
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. That could make for some nice stacks.

Where do you see that? I can’t find it on USB website. If I go to cashback deals, it gives me an empty page.
Me too
I can’t seem to find this on the app. I only have USB business cards. Are these offers on business cards, too?
@Nick Reyes any idea if this is available for business cards?
Based on the above comment, I assume it isn’t. Wouldn’t have occurred to me that they would not offer this on business cards. But it sounds like they’re not, right?
Opened up a US Bank Customer Service chat asking for clarification on if the window was for both activation and redemption or just redemption and was told:
“You can activate the offer any time and then make the purchase in the offer period”
I may take a gamble on this for the AA loyalty point game. My USB AR has multiple cash back deals that could stack with some merchants that can offer good fixed mile bonuses from the AA portal.
In my offers I see:
Blue Apron – 10% (doubles to 20%)
Green Chef – 15% (doubles to 30%)
Consumer Cellular – $20 (doubles to $40)
Hungry Root – $10 (doubles to $20)
Hello Fresh – 15% (doubles to 30%)
Paramount+ – $3 (doubles to $6)
I just finished doing the Hello Fresh bonus with an AMEX offer so that one is out for me but I’ll be looking at the others if they have good mileage bonuses during this window.
Can anyone confirm that if you have a U.S. Bank business card that you are not able to see or use cash back offers? I’ve had a business card since last October and that’s when my cash back offers disappeared. Technical support was no help. I use my U.S. Bank cards a lot, so feel like I’m missing out. I had read a partial thread on DOC that mentioned this, but it wasn’t clear. Thanks.
Missing link @Nick Reyes
Hi Nick, I see they mentioned double Cashback. Is it clear will limit also gets doubled? I see Cashback percentage will be double, I am not sure whether up to will also be increased. It will be bummer if that is not the case
