U.S. Bank cardholders, keep an eye on your email! There's a targeted offer floating around that could snag you an easy $20 bonus. The email (look for it from 1800USBanks@email.usbank.com) encourages you to enroll your U.S. Bank consumer or business card in Amazon's "Shop with Points" program. The best part? The fine print suggests you don't even need to use your points to get the bonus; just enrolling should do the trick. The promotion runs from October 16, 2025, through October 31, 2025.
Why does this matter to you? Well, free money is always a win! Plus, it's a ridiculously easy way to boost your rewards without actually spending anything (beyond what you normally would on Amazon). Just click the "Enroll" button in the email, or head over to the Amazon Shop with Points page and link your U.S. Bank card there.
One important tip: once you're enrolled, make sure to uncheck the box that says "Automatically use points at checkout when available." You don't want to accidentally redeem your hard-earned U.S. Bank points for a measly value on Amazon purchases! We want the $20 bonus, not to devalue our points! The cashback will be applied to your account within 2-3 billing cycles after the end of the promotion period.
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.
