Thoughts
Highest offer is $600. The good news is the rules have been updated to a 12 month churn. Originally they were every 2 years.
Not sure if this is listed, but there is a current offer that is for a limited time to get about the same bonus offer for less work. I’ve put the link for the offer that you can actually find searching US Banks website. I’ve also copied over some details. This offer ends soon so hurry.
