How to track your progress toward a U.S. Bank welcome bonus

If you’ve recently gotten a new U.S. Bank credit card, you might be working on earning a credit card welcome bonus. Fortunately, U.S. Bank makes it easy to track your welcome bonus progress.

Here’s how you can track the status of your U.S. Bank welcome bonus on the website or U.S. Bank mobile app.

Tracking your welcome bonus on the U.S. Bank website

It’s easy to track your new cardmember welcome bonus on the U.S. Bank website. Simply go to usbank.com and log in to your account. When you log in, here’s what you’ll see:

If you are currently earning a welcome bonus on a new credit card, you’ll see a section that mentions your new account bonus. Click on “View Progress” to see your progress toward earning your U.S. Bank welcome bonus.

On the following page here’s what you’ll see:

U.S. Bank credit card welcome bonus tracker. The tracker shows a $2,000 spending requirement to earn $500, a progress bar, and the expiration date.
U.S. Bank welcome bonus status tracker.

The U.S. Bank website’s welcome bonus tracker is fairly intuitive. You’ll see a progress bar showing how far along you are toward earning your bonus, the bonus expiration date and a list of all qualifying transactions that count toward your spending requirement.

Tracking your welcome bonus in the U.S. Bank website mobile app

Tracking your new cardmember welcome bonus in the U.S. Bank mobile app is even easier than tracking your welcome bonus on the website. If you have the U.S. Bank mobile app installed, launch the app and log in.

You’ll see the home screen (pictured to the right) displaying your credit cards. Scroll down to the panel that says “Your new account bonus.” Click on this panel to go to the new account welcome bonus status screen.

On the new account welcome bonus screen (pictured on the left) you’ll see the details of your welcome bonus, including welcome bonus requirements, spending deadline, a progress bar showing you how far along you are toward earning your bonus, and qualifying transactions that count toward earning your bonus.

Bottom line

That’s all there is to it. Just log in to either the U.S. Bank website or mobile app and you’ll easily find your progress toward earning a welcome bonus in a few clicks.
