    The US Bank Altitude Reserve Comes With a Sign-Up Bonus Worth $750 in Travel, Which You Can Use Towards a Flight to South America!

    A couple weeks ago, I shared details of a valuable upcoming travel card, the U.S. Bank Altitude™ Reserve Visa Infinite® Card.

    Now, you can officially apply for card!  It has terrific benefits, like up to $325 in travel credits per cardmember year, and 3X points on ALL purchases made through mobile wallets, like Samsung Pay.

    But the card also comes with a $400 annual fee.  And only US Bank account holders are eligible to apply.

    I’ll help you decide if this card is worth it!

    The US Bank Altitude Reserve Is Official

    A few weeks ago, I shared a rumor about details of the new US Bank Altitude Reserve card.  The card is now a reality!  And its benefits are almost exactly the same as the rumored perks.

    Here’s what you’ll get:

    You’ll also get other luxury perks, like Silvercar, Relais & Châteaux, and chauffeured Groundlink Black Car discounts.

    Is This Card a Good Deal?

    The card comes with a $400 annual fee, NOT waived the first year.  And you’ll pay an additional $75 per authorized user.  But the card benefits can easily outweigh the fees!

    You’ll get the first $325 you spend on travel each year reimbursed.  That brings the annual fee down to $75 per year!

    Plus, you’ll earn 3X points on all mobile wallet transactions.  And because each point is worth 1.5 cents towards travel, you’ll get an effective 4.5% back (3 points X 1.5 cents)!

    Lots of Merchants Accept Mobile Payments, So You Can Get 3X Points on Nearly Every Purchase!

    The card also comes with a sign-up bonus worth $750 in travel, so it’s a no-brainer for the first year.  You can use the card for ~11 months, and decide if the other card benefits are worth it to you before paying the annual fee a second time.

    If you’re new to miles & points, I’d suggest applying for the Chase cards you want first.  That way you aren’t restricted by Chase’s approval rules.

    Note:   US Bank is picky about approving folks for their cards.  And they are known for pulling credit scores from unconventional credit bureaus!  Here’s how you can improve your approval odds by freezing your credit from these bureaus.

    To be eligible for this card, you’ll need to have a US Bank account open a minimum of 5 days before you apply.  Like a checking account, savings account, mortgage, or a credit card.

    Bottom Line

    You can now apply for the US Bank Altitude Reserve card!  It comes with excellent perks like a 50,000 point sign-up bonus (worth $750 in travel), a $325 annual travel credit, and 3X points on all mobile wallet transactions!

    But you must be a current US Bank customer, with a credit card, checking account, or savings account opened at least 5 days before you sign-up.
