And as of Nov. 22, 2021, the only places that the card will be available online are through U.S. Bank’s website and NerdWallet.
The ability to choose your own bonus categories based on your spending makes the card a competitive option for rewards maximizers. Other 5% cash-back options typically feature quarterly categories that are chosen by the issuer. But with the U.S. Bank Cash+™ Visa Signature® Card – NerdWallet Exclusive Offer, cardholders can choose two 5% cash-back categories each quarter, out of a list of 12 options. Additionally, also every quarter, cardholders will be able to select a 2% cash-back category from a list of three choices.
Note that you’ll have to opt into bonus categories online each quarter to earn the card’s 5% and 2% rates.
