Heads up, U.S. Bank and Fidelity/Elan cardholders! Check your email for a targeted offer where you can snag up to $100 just for using your card. The deal is pretty straightforward: You need to enroll by November 30, 2025, and then make a certain number of transactions of $10 or more between November 1st and December 31st, 2025.
Specifically, you'll get $20 for 5 transactions, $50 for 15, or a sweet $100 for 50. It's basically free money, but there's a catch: You need to make multiple small purchases. The Doctor of Credit suggests breaking up your utility payments or reloading your Amazon balance in $10 increments. This is important for you because it is essentially free money that you can get back into your pocket with a little bit of work.
Is it worth the effort? That's up to you. It's not a huge windfall, but hey, $100 is $100, especially if you can automate those smaller transactions. So, go check your email and see if you're one of the lucky ones!
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.
