Tips for Maximizing the Value of U.S. Bank Points
Redeem Points for Travel.
U.S. Bank points are worth the most when redeemed for travel.
Redeem U.S. Bank points regularly.
U.S. Bank points do not expire due to account inactivity, but stockpiling points does put you at risk of rewards devaluation. Plus, you won't get to enjoy the fruits of your spending if you don't redeem.
Keep your account in good standing.
If U.S. Bank closes your account because of a failure to pay the bill or fraudulent activity, you'll lose any unredeemed points you have saved.
Redeem before closing your account.
Any points you don't redeem before closing your account will be lost.
