Re: US Bank Connect PC Experience

Alrighty, I have another data point... I just got off the phone and a new Cash+ will be in the mail shortly. Smiley Happy

 

My choices for a PC were the Cash+ and Altitude Go, and of course I went with the Cash+ (which is what I wanted the entire time, anyway). 

 

The other stuff is just the same as @simplynoir experienced (same script)... card number changing, verify mailing address, etc.  All-in-all a very efficient phone call; I was probably talking to the rep for less than two minutes total.

 

Before hanging up I asked about the annual fee on the old card (which posted last night) and she said that she could take care of it and I waited while she did some typing.  Possibly this is something that would have been completed later had I not asked, but in any case folks doing a PC might want to bring it up. 

 

Like I mentioned the call was rather quick, but I think (?) she said my existing rewards would be transferred over to the new account.  In my case it's less than $3 so it's not a big deal either way, but I'll confirm later if this was the case. 

 

Side note:  I just checked my online dashboard, and the account is now showing up with $0 credit line on the old account number, and there's no new account number showing up yet.  This might be normal, but it's strange and I'll feel better once everything is settled.  (I'm not in the mood to have to fight with them over an account closed in error, hopefully that's not the case.)

For me it was immediate the change and even showing the new number on their end and last four digits on mine. When I had called back to ask about AF I wanted to know what card they saw and they said the Cash+ on their screens. What made it weird though is that even now it still show the Connect images and on account information shows Connect as well. But the rewards system went to cash like you and rewards page shows the same so kinda weird lol

 

Re: AF I guess I may have to call them back sooner than I thought if that is the case. I'll do it later today and report back on it

Re: US Bank Connect PC Experience

Hmm... hopefully I don't have a problem.

 

The only thing that makes me think it might be OK is that in addition to the credit limit being $0 my statement balance has updated to be $0 and the due date now is dashes, with $0 as the mininum due amount (I think it was previously $40 or thereabouts) - the account balance at the top is still showing the same as before (just over $100).  I'm thinking that if the account was closed in error there would still be a payment due.  Interestingly, there's no sign of rewards at all. 🤔

 

If it's not showing me the new account number by tomorrow I'll give them a call back.

 

(The one thing I didn't think to ask is if the old card would continue to work while the new one was being mailed, but I don't think I want to try it anyway... this is complicated enough as it is.)

Re: US Bank Connect PC Experience

OK, this is weird, on the app it was showing $0 credit available and all the other stuff I mentioned, but just now I logged in on my computer and the credit limit is still there (and payment is still due, etc.).

 

Now when I go back to check the app, it's giving me an error and tells me to try again later. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I don't know what's up, but I'm going to leave it alone for now and see if it all gets sorted overnight.  If not I'll be time for a quick "hello" with a customer service rep.

Did it correct itself?

A few hours after this (right before bed) I checked again, and now it's showing a new credit card number (whoo-hoo!), but it's still showing me as having an Altitude Connect.  Also, when I logged in I was prompted to set up my new card, which it said was an Altitude Connect.

 

A few hours later (insomnia) I checked again, and nothing had changed with the account but the $30 Streaming credit had posted, which I wasn't expecting, but still no AF credit.  I decided at this point if the AF credit never shows up to just let it go, since I got ~$650 in rewards out of the card last year, and I could certainly justify "eating" a $65 fee ($95-$30), plus I don't really want to 'poke' them too much.

Re: US Bank Connect PC Experience

Today (Friday) there were more changes... (this is like watching a soap opera unfold, LOL).

 

Rewards went to $0 (not a big deal, was only ~$3 anyway) and now when I click the link to check the rewards it takes me to the standard landing for a Cash+, but the website still shows the card as an Altitude Connect.  🤔 If I was only checking the app things would look perfect.

 

Also, just a couple of hours ago the $95 AF was credited back. (!!!)  So, I got the streaming credit and the AF refunded. Smiley Surprised

 

I'm thinking once I activate the new card the graphic on the website might update, but as long as they send the right card and and it 'works' I'm not too concerned over the website stuff.

 

Sorry for the drawn-out blow-by-blow, LOL.  It seems that with U.S. Bank, a PC is a bit like sausage making... best not to watch closely, and just inspect (and enjoy) the final product. Smiley Very Happy

Re: US Bank Connect PC Experience

In today's episode of "As the World Turns PC Lingers"...

 

Overnight I got another statement credit, this time for the ~$3 in unredeemed rewards from the old card.

 

The dashboard is still showing a mish-mash of info for Connect and Cash+, but I'm thinking that's just because the physical Connect card is still active (I'm assuming it is, anyway... haven't tried it, though). 

 

I'm still waiting on the new physical Cash+ card to arrive in the mail.
