Another ‘Best’ for U.S. Bank FlexPerks Visa Cards

Just nine months after having been named the "Best Credit Card if You Want Travel Perks” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine, U.S. Bank’s FlexPerks Visa card program has now won a COLLOQUY Loyalty Award, which recognizes outstanding innovation in loyalty marketing. FlexPerks earned top honors in the Loyalty Innovation in Financial Services category for its pioneering approach to transitioning former U.S. Bank WorldPerks Visa customers to the new U.S. Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards program.

"We’re honored that COLLOQUY has chosen FlexPerks as a winner in this unique peer-driven awards program for the loyalty marketing industry,” said Cliff Cook, chief marketing officer for U.S. Bank Retail Payment Solutions. "The honor highlights our commitment to providing outstanding rewards opportunities for our customers.”

The inaugural COLLOQUY Awards honored the most innovative, customer-focused loyalty initiatives in North America. Award finalists were first chosen by loyalty marketing experts, with the final winners then chosen by COLLOQUY subscribers. The awards were announced at a Sept. 16 awards ceremony at the 8th Annual COLLOQUY Loyalty Summit in Phoenix, Ariz.
