I signed up for the US Bank XXXX XXXX visa credit card, with a key benefit being the inclusion of a free night on award stays : " a bonus award night every time you redeem for XXXX award nights or more, the last night is complimentary ''. This was a key benefit for the card ( which carries an annual fee of {$75.00} ). I signed up for this card due to its benefits, which were clearly stated on the website when I applied and was accepted for the card. A week after receiving my welcome material, it was announced that this benefit would be removed beginning XXXX XXXX, 2015. I called US Bank to request that this benefit continue for my card, as I had applied specifically for this product benefit, but they told me the benefit would be going away for all cardholders. I find it incredibly deceptive to offer a card with certain benefits and then once I have the card and have paid the annual fee, the most valuable benefit then gets removed with no compensation for this loss.
