Hey AwardTrail readers, it's time to make some money! If you've got the U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card, listen up. The bonus categories for earning 5% cash back from January to March 2026 are now open for enrollment. This is a great opportunity to maximize your rewards by strategically choosing categories where you know you'll be spending.
What's cool about the Cash+ card is that you get to pick your own bonus categories each quarter! So, take a look at your spending habits for the start of next year and decide which two 5% categories will give you the most bang for your buck. Choosing strategically between options like department stores, movie theaters, or even utilities can add up to significant savings.
Don't miss out on this chance to grab some easy cash back. Head over to the U.S. Bank website or app and make your selections before the deadline. Happy earning!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
