USBank Idea Exchange

Anyone here invited/already on US Bank Idea Exchange forum.   It seems to give (small) rewards for participating, which includes posting and responding (perhaps like kudos here!) so there are topics like "What is your favorite fruit?" and when asked "How can I rent in Charlotte NC?" (which is slightly US Bank based, maybe) lots of answers saying "I don't know but good luck".

 

But apart from incentivised junk posting, I'm sure it's of great value

Re: USBank Idea Exchange

I got an invite. I have a business checking account for the signup bonus and had a brokerage account in the past also for the bonus. I suspect everyone who has ever interacted with them is invited to their 'exclusive advisory forum'.

Re: USBank Idea Exchange

Apparently if you make a minimum of 4 posts a month, or other activities you get a $10 credityou can redeem for a $10 gift card for various merchants (and apparently including a Visa gift card).   So nearly $50 a year!

 

And as you can start topics for credit, and seeing "What is your favorite fruit?"  I think the "What is your favorite..." meme can generate lots of examples!

Re: USBank Idea Exchange

What is your favorite math equation?

 

4 posts a month x 12 months a year x $10 = almost $50

NFCU Flagship (Daily 2% + Travel) | USAA Rewards (AoOA = 26y)

Aven Rewards (Groceries) | Chase Prime (Amazon) | Citi Custom Cash (Dining) | Elan MCP (Utilities)

EQ(F8) 784 | EX(F8) 801 | TU(F8) 800 | EQ(F9) 823 | EQ(BC8) 815

On the Radar: Langley | Kroger | AmEx | Discover

Excellent point, not sure why I chose the (not significant) 4 and the 12 and not the $10!   So yes, $120 a year.

I thought about where to place it and assumed most of the invitees here would probably be because of a credit card relationship.

Re: USBank Idea Exchange

Oh man, now I want an invite. I have a mortgage, a business credit card, a Smartly checking account, and four personal credit cards with them. They should invite me... 

 

Was this via email or the app (or both) they're inviting you - that got invited?

Email (for me) same text as posted by @ptatohed   There was a screening survey but no idea if people really get screened.   A whole lot of people seemed to have joined in the last day or so, so I assume there was a large emailing of customers.

Re: USBank Idea Exchange

I am fairly certain that I should be a decent customer but they clearly are ignoring me. I do not have any invites however.

 

@bs1234 The proper placement would probably be Smorgusboard. Sadly nobody really checks there for stuff.
