     1.   Earn $100 Extra When You Open US Bank Credit Cards In-Branch

    Via The Points Guy, US Bank is offering $100 in addition to regular sign-up bonuses on certain US Bank credit cards when you spend or transfer a balance of $1,000 within the 1st 30 days of account opening.

    To get the deal, you must open your new account at a US Bank branch.

    Sign-Up for a US Bank Credit Card In-Branch and Earn an Extra $100! Co-Branded Cards Are Excluded, and You Must Apply by December 4, 2015
    The offer is only good for US Bank’s own credit cards, like the US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa or US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards AMEX.  Here’s my review of the cards and what you can do with FlexPerks points.  Co-branded cards, like the US Bank Club Carlson card, are excluded from this promotion.

    Keep in mind the $1,000 you spend will also count toward your minimum spending requirements on your new card!  So this is a great way to stack the bonuses and earn an extra $100.

    FlexPerks points are great to redeem for Big Travel on Southwest, especially if you have the Southwest Companion Pass!
