If your company’s card program is set up with central billing, ExtendPay eligible transactions can be selected by the AO when viewing the central billing account (which includes transactions made on employee cards). For companies with individual billing, the AO can only select transactions they made on their own card account.

U.S. Bank may change APRs, fees and other account terms in the future based on your experience with U.S. Bank National Association and its affiliates as provided under the Cardmember Agreement and applicable law.

Rewards are earned on eligible net purchases. Net Purchases are purchases minus credits and returns. Not all transactions are considered to be Purchases and eligible to earn rewards, such as transactions posting as Convenience Checks; Balance Transfers; Advances (including ATM withdrawals, wire transfers, traveler's checks, money orders, foreign cash transactions, betting transactions, and lottery tickets); interest charges and fees; credit insurance premiums; and transactions to (i) fund certain prepaid card products, (ii) buy currency from the U.S. Mint, or (iii) buy cash convertible items. Please refer to your Cardmember Agreement for additional information and also visit usbank.com/leveragecategories to see a full list of eligible merchant categories. Account must be open and in good standing (not past due or overlimit) to earn and redeem rewards and benefits. Subject to applicable law, you may not redeem rewards, and you will immediately lose all of your rewards if your Account is closed to future transactions (including, but not limited to, Program misuse, failure to pay, bankruptcy, or death). Each merchant’s business is identified by a category code. A Purchase will not earn additional rewards if the category code applied to a merchant is in a category that is not eligible for additional rewards earning. We do not determine the category codes applied to merchants’ businesses and reserve the right to determine which Purchases qualify for additional rewards.

The rate will end early and increase to the APR for purchases and balance transfers or to a Penalty Rate APR if you make a late payment, make a payment that is returned, or your account exceeds its credit limit.

The creditor and issuer of these cards is U.S. Bank National Association, pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A.

    Points will expire five years from the end of the calendar quarter in which they were earned.

    Maximum Point value applies to Points redeemed for a deposit into an eligible U.S. Bank Account. The redemption value may be different if you choose to redeem your Points for other rewards such as travel, merchandise, gift cards, and/or statement credit. Other restrictions apply. Establishment or ownership of a U.S. Bank Account or other relationship with U.S. Bank is not required to obtain a card or to be eligible to use Points to obtain any rewards offered under the program. Minimum redemption amounts may vary and are subject to change without notice.

  2. You will earn 5 Points (1 base and 4 bonus points) for every $1 spent on prepaid car and hotel reservations purchased in the Rewards Travel Center using your U.S. Bank Business Leverage Visa Signature Card instead of Points. Prepaid car and hotel reservations in the Rewards Center are not classified as a travel category merchant transaction and are not eligible to receive the additional Points for that category. Please allow 1-2 statement billing cycles for Points to appear on your credit card statement.

  3. New Credit Card Enrollment Bonus: One-time 75,000 bonus points will be awarded if eligible Net Purchases totaling $7,500 or more are made to the Account Owner’s Card within 120 days from account opening. The Account Owner’s Card is the card assigned to the initial applicant of the account and would not include cards used by authorized employees. Net Purchases are purchases minus credits and returns. Rewards are earned based on eligible net purchases. Please allow 6-10 weeks after you have met the spend requirement for your points to be credited to your Account. This offer may not be combined with any other bonus offer. Subject to credit approval.

  4. From time to time we may offer you the benefit of our U.S. Bank ExtendPay® Plans, which allow you to pay off balances in fixed monthly payments over time and still avoid paying interest charges on new Purchases. Only your company’s Authorized Officer (AO) may enroll in an ExtendPay Plan. All references to “you” and “your” apply to the AO. Accounts set up for which multiple billing statements are issued do not qualify. If your company’s card program is set up with central billing, the AO may select ExtendPay eligible Purchases when viewing the central billing account (which includes Purchases made on employee cards). If your company is set up with individual billing, the AO may only select Purchases made on their own card account. You may designate up to 50% of your credit card line ($100 minimum) in eligible credit card purchases and pay in monthly installments with just a small fixed monthly fee. Only Purchase balances are eligible for ExtendPay Plans. Transactions identified as Advances or Balance Transfers (as defined in your Cardmember Agreement), and any interest or fees, including Annual Fee, do not apply. The only Purchases that will appear as "Eligible Purchases" in the enrollment process are Purchases that were made within 60 days prior to signing up for an ExtendPay Plan, are over $100, and are less than your Purchase balance when you sign up for an ExtendPay Plan. Any unpaid balance remaining on an ExtendPay Plan after the chosen pay-back period will be subject to the APR and minimum payment calculation for purchases outlined in the Cardmember Agreement. The monthly fixed fee will be determined when your ExtendPay Plan is created and is provided to you before you complete setting up an ExtendPay Plan. This fee will remain the same until the ExtendPay Plan is paid in full. The monthly fixed fee of the ExtendPay Plan is based upon the original principal amount, Purchase APR, and other factors.

  5. Maximum Point value applies to Points redeemed for a deposit into an eligible U.S. Bank Account. The redemption value may be different if you choose to redeem your Points for other rewards such as travel, merchandise, gift cards, and/or statement credit. Other restrictions apply.
