U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® tiers
U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® consists of five tiers that offer progressively greater benefits based on your Combined Qualifying Balance across eligible accounts. The tiers are:
Each tier provides benefits and rewards to help you bank smarter now and in the future as your needs change. As your Combined Qualifying Balance grows, you automatically move up to the next tier of bank rewards. Please refer to the Consumer Pricing Information (PDF) disclosure for more details.
Combined Qualifying Balances (CQB) include consumer and trust accounts where the account is open, and you are an account owner.
Note: Balances in business accounts, commercial accounts, and the Trustee only (IFI) 24, Grantor only (GRT) 25 or Trustee & Grantor – Irrevocable Trust (TRG) 26 client relationships do not qualify. Please refer to the Consumer Pricing Information (PDF) disclosure for more details.
The Combined Qualifying Balance requirements for each tier are as follows:
If your daily Combined Qualifying Balance (CQB) qualifies you for a tier upgrade, you will be moved to the higher tier (within 5 business days). You will remain in that tier until you qualify for a higher tier based on your daily CQB, or the calculated monthly CQB qualifies you for a higher or lower tier. Tier downgrades will only occur at the end of every month. If the Bank Smartly Checking account is closed, the Smart Rewards benefits will cease.
