Earn 15,000 Miles & $150 Statement Credit With US Bank Korean Air Cards

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    If you’ve been waiting to apply for a US Bank Korean Air credit card, you now have 150 more reasons to apply!

    Via Reddit, both the US Bank Korean Air personal and small business cards have an increased offer of 15,000 Korean Air miles after your first purchase, PLUS a $150 statement credit after meeting minimum spending requirements.

    We don’t earn a commission on these cards, but we’ll always tell you when we find new deals!

    Folks Who Collect Korean Air Miles Might Consider These Improved Offers From US Bank … but These Cards Aren’t Right for Most

    I’ll show you what to expect with these cards!

    These US Bank Korean Air Cards Have Improved Sign-Up Bonuses!

    Link:   US Bank Korean Air Visa Signature

    Link:   US Bank Korean Air Small Business

    US Bank has bumped up their public offer for the Korean Air Visa Signature and Korean Air Small Business cards!

    You’ll earn 15,000 Korean Air miles after your first purchase.  Plus, you’ll earn a $150 statement credit after you spend $1,500 on purchases within the first 90 days of opening your account.

    These cards also come with:

    The annual fee ($80 for personal card, $75 for small business card) is NOT waived for the first year.

    This is NOT a good card to use for regular spending, because there are no bonus categories.

    Instead, use Chase Ultimate Rewards points earning credit cards, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card.  These cards have bonus categories, and you can transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Korean Air at a ratio of 1:1!

    Is This a Good Deal?

    Previously, the sign-up bonus for these cards was 15,000 Korean Air miles with NO statement credit.  So this current offer is a better deal.  But we’ve also seen much higher targeted offers on these cards in the past.

    If you’re new to the miles & points hobby, this is NOT a good card for you to sign-up for.  There are much more valuable credit cards from Chase that you should sign-up for first.

    That’s because if you’ve opened 5 or more credit cards from ANY bank in the past 24 months (excluding certain small business cards), Chase will NOT approve you for many of their best travel rewards credit cards.

    If you already have lots of cards from Chase and other banks, this could be a decent card for you if you collect Korean Air miles.

    Keep in mind, it’s issued by US Bank, one of the less mainstream banks in the miles & points hobby.  But they’re also known to be strict about approving folks who’ve applied for lots of cards recently.

    What Can You Do With Korean Air Miles?

    Korean Air is a member of SkyTeam, so you can use Korean Air miles to book awards on airlines like Delta and Air France.

    And you can now book them online on the Korean Air website.  Sometimes you can find some great deals!

    You Can Now Book Korean Air Partner Awards Online, Like the Mainland US to Hawaii for 25,000 Miles Round-Trip!

    For example, you can book a round-trip coach ticket from the US to Hawaii on Delta for just 25,000 Korean Air miles (20,000 miles less than United Airlines or American Airlines!).

    Or you can book a round-trip Business Class seat from the US to Europe on Delta for just 80,000 Korean Air miles (35,000 miles less than United Airlines or American Airlines!).

    Fly in Business Class to the UK for Just 80,000 Korean Air Miles Round-Trip

    Just beware of high fees that are attached to some award flights.  Korean Air passes along fuel surcharges.  Though they generally aren’t too expensive unless you are flying across the Atlantic.

    As always, do the math and decide what’s best for your situation.

    Bottom Line

    US Bank has increased their public offer for the Korean Air Visa Signature and Korean Air Small Business cards.

    You’ll now earn 15,000 Korean Air miles after your first purchase AND a $150 statement credit after spending $1,500 on purchases in the first 90 days of opening your account.

    Emily and I don’t get a commission on these cards, but we’ll always tell you about improved deals that pop up!
