A rewards checking account offers perks like cash back or points, no monthly fees or a higher interest rate on balances if you meet certain requirements. Unlike a standard checking account, this type of account typically requires meeting specific monthly criteria, such as a minimum number of debit card transactions or a qualifying direct deposit, to earn the rewards.
Smart Rewards does the same thing. You earn greater rewards as you move up through our five-tiered program. See how it works.
Bank rewards differ from one financial institution to another. The U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® program has five tiers based on the Combined Qualifying Balances of all your eligible U.S. Bank accounts. As your balances grow, you automatically move up to the next tier. The higher the tier, the bigger the benefits. With the U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® program, several benefits are immediately available within five business days upon opening your Bank Smartly® Checking account:
You're automatically enrolled in Smart Rewards as soon as your checking account is opened. You'll be assigned to a Smart Rewards tier within the first five business days based on the Combined Qualifying Balances of all your eligible U.S. Bank accounts.
Smart Rewards® does not have a fee and comes automatically with your Bank Smartly Checking account.
The U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® program is complimentary with your Bank Smartly® Checking account. No enrollment or sign up needed.

U.S. Bank Smart Rewards® consists of five tiers that offer progressively greater benefits based on your Combined Qualifying Balance across eligible accounts. The tiers are:
Each tier provides benefits and rewards to help you bank smarter now and in the future as your needs change. As your Combined Qualifying Balance grows, you automatically move up to the next tier of bank rewards. Please refer to the Consumer Pricing Information (PDF) disclosure for more details.
The following products are eligible for inclusion in your CQB:
Note: Business and commercial products are never eligible.
Qualified Balance: Funds on deposit in an eligible product, where you have an ownership interest, are counted towards your CQB.
Conversely, funds on deposit in an eligible product that do not grant ownership interest, are not counted towards your CQB.
The Combined Qualifying Balance requirements for each tier are as follows:
If your daily Combined Qualifying Balance (CQB) qualifies you for a tier upgrade, you will be moved to the higher tier (within 5 business days). You will remain in that tier until you qualify for a higher tier based on your daily CQB, or the calculated monthly CQB qualifies you for a higher or lower tier. Tier downgrades will only occur at the end of every month. If the Bank Smartly Checking account is closed, the Smart Rewards benefits will cease.
