How do I check if I've chosen my Cash Plus or Shopper Cash categories for the quarter?

We make it easy to check if your earning categories were selected. And if they weren’t chosen, you can still pick them anytime, even if the quarter has already started.

To check if earnings categories were chosen using online banking and the U.S. Bank Mobile App

  1. Select the rewards card, then choose Rewards.
  2. Locate the Shortcuts tile and select Bonus categories. There, it’ll list what categories were chosen for cash back earnings.

About selecting earnings categories

  • Authorized users can’t select categories; only an owner or joint owner is allowed to choose them.
  • Categories may be selected during the quarter if they haven’t been selected before the quarter begins.
    • Selections made during the quarter aren't retroactive and take up to three business days to take effect.
    • Once the categories are activated, they can’t be changed.
  • Categories activated for a quarter won't reactivate for the next quarter if none are selected.
