If ineligible for the LifeMiles Visa Card, you will be considered for the LifeMiles Visa Secured Card. The Secured card earns 5,000 First Use Bonus Miles after the first purchase and is not eligible for the additional spend bonus miles. The Secured card does not earn Annual Renewal Bonus LifeMiles. The Secured card requires a minimum deposit of $300 provided by the cardmember that will be held in a security deposit account

Our Verdict

The standard bonus is 20,000 miles after your first purchase, last year they offered a 40,000 mile bonus (required slightly higher spending at $3,000). If you value LifeMiles highly, I’d recommend getting this offer as they rarely increase the bonus on this card. Make sure you have your SageStream & ARS reports frozen before applying for a US Bank card to improve your chances for being approved.
