U.S. Bank consumer and business cardholders can get 5% off name brand gift cards

Rewards cardmembers can earn rewards in addition to the discount

While spending habits tend to be remarkably consistent throughout the year, sometimes it seems like all bets are off around the holidays.

“It’s no surprise that people spend more at retail stores in the last six weeks of the year,” said Chris Roncari, head of Product and Experience for U.S. Bank Retail Payment Solutions. “In addition to spending more in shops and online, our data shows that our cardholders spend 5% to 10% more on food, restaurants and entertainment during that time as well.”

From doorbuster deals to last-minute markdowns, savvy shoppers look for ways to get the most out of their holiday spending. Now, all U.S. Bank clients can purchase name-brand gift cards for shopping, travel, dining and entertainment at a 5% discount when they use any U.S. Bank-branded credit or debit card to purchase the gift cards at usbank.thegiftcardshop.com.

The benefit can be even greater if clients use a U.S. Bank rewards credit card to buy gift cards through The Gift Card Shop because they can earn the rewards they would normally receive for making a purchase in addition to the discount.

“Our rewards team works to find meaningful ways of enhancing benefits for our clients,” Roncari said. “Pairing discounts on gift cards with our rich rewards offerings means that U.S. Bank rewards cardmembers can give more joy to others while receiving a gift of rewards for themselves.”

Gift card discounts are available to U.S. Bank cardholders year-round.
