Could this card be a keeper?

January 13, 2014 By Leana 8 Comments

I am referring to US Bank FlexPerks card. It has a unique earning structure, like no other card out there. Right now it comes with a 20000-point sign-up bonus, though personally, I would wait and see if they increase it in connection with the Olympic games.
