Flexperks Real-Time Rewards Confirmed Merchants:
Flexperks listed examples: "United, American, British Airways, Emirates, JetBlue, Southwest, Delta, Sun Country", however BEWARE that "non U.S. merchants" are not supposed to work (i.e. British Airway & Emirates). Supervisor has said that this list hasn't been updated to exclude non-US airlines. Note that it will be difficult to get any transactions covered if Real-time Rewards do not work automatically.

Check out the 5% categories, some are very useful, like utilities and cellular phone service.

Any way to downgrade this card? I've used up most of my points and don't want to pay the AF anymore. But don't want to cancel b/c I've had this card for a long time (when it was Northwest airlines card). I don't really want another Amex. If I were to change to the FP amex, would it count as an Amex for Amex's purposes (card approval)?

How hard was it to get the business version? Did they request docs? I'd like to apply as a sole prop

Time for Bonus Points to Post?
I signed up for the 25,000 points for 2k spend in the first 4 months. I reached 2k in spend a few weeks ago and I still haven't seen the bonus points post yet. Can anyone speak from recent experience on how long it takes for them to post?

If I used my Flexperks to buy a flight, and it allowed me to redeem, am I able to cancel the flight within the first 24 hours now that the credit shows as pending in my account?

Just purchased a travel package from Hilton Grand Vacations on the Flexperks Travel Rewards card (the old black one). I have real-time rewards activated on the account and it has always worked properly. Spent $915 and the text came in promptly to redeem 91.5k points, which is .01 per Flexperk for the purchase (should have been around 60.75k Flexperks points for $915). The redemption rate has been 1.5 per for a very long time. Called US Bank and they said the redemption rate has not changed.
Anyone have this happen to them? Or why it has happened? Are somethings redeemed only at .01?
Also, anyone in the last day or so used real-time rewards and did it price out correctly for you?

My guess is the package is being coded as something other than travel.....as sometimes I book stuff from online travel sites, and it gets coded as INTERNET PURCHASE or something similar. I think the only time this has worked right fo rme is when its a flat out airline purchase.

I do get the option on hotels and airfare at .015 but this purchase wasn't either, so maybe. Hilton Grand Vacations was how it came up on the CC website as pending.
Anyone else redeem today?

So it came back as .01 per Flexperks on redemption? I only have travel marked on my real time rewards. I thought all redemptions were .015.

But I guess the critical part is, do you have any purchases that hit your real time rewards that are only at .01 per Flexperk point? and if so, what are they?
