The U.S. Bank FlexPerks ® Gold American Express ® Card awards 3X points
at restaurants, 2X points
at airlines and gas stations, and 1X point per dollar spent on other
qualifying purchases.
The reason some
purchases at cafes and
restaurants inside department stores and grocery stores might not
qualify is because those locations are often coded as department and grocery stores, not as separate
restaurants.
