The U.S. Bank Business Leverage Visa is the result of co-creation
sessions that were held earlier this year with business owners from a
variety of industries. The goal was to better understand what credit
card features mattered most to them. Owners said they were often not
receiving the most reward points on their biggest monthly purchases.
With that in mind, they worked closely with U.S. Bank to design a credit
card that gives them more rewards, with less rules.
“I put everything I can on my business credit card, so it would be great
to get rewarded where I’m actually spending my money,” said U.S. Bank
customer Clinton Halley of Precision Set-Up Concrete in Temecula, Calif.
“Concrete, by far, is my biggest line item of expense. Now, I’ll have
opportunity to actually double the points I’m earning on it.”
U.S. Bank Business Leverage Visa offers:
-
Two points per dollar spent on eligible net purchases made in the top
two categories where businesses spend the most each month;
-
Ease of use – bonus categories automatically adjust monthly based on
where the business is spending the most;
-
An extra bonus point for every dollar spent in the first year, up to
100,000 bonus points; and
-
Additional reward points for using U.S. Bank to process credit card
payments.
“We took a customer-centered approach and built this as a business card
from the ground up, completely rethinking how businesses are rewarded,”
said John Steward, president of Retail Payment Solutions at U.S. Bank.
“Plus, we give them business-sized spending power so they can use this
card on their larger purchases, wherever Visa credit cards are accepted.”
