U.S. Bank has sent out a survey regarding possible changes to the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve. According to MtM it looks like there were two main options:
- $400 annual fee card
- $325 in annual travel credits
- 12 Gogo inflight WiFi Credits
- $100 TSA Precheck Credit
- Card earns
- 3x points on travel
- 3x points on purchases made through mobile wallet
- Points worth 1.5¢ each towards travel
- Priority Pass membership (4 complimentary visits)
- $495 annual fee card
- $400 in annual travel credits, including:
- $250 rewards center credit
- $250 homestay credit (e.g VRBO & AirBnB)
- $100 Clear credit
- 12 Gogo inflight WiFi Credits
- Free Platinum status at Radisson Hotels
- Annual 30% discount at REI
- Free U.S. Bank Platinum checking account
- Unlimited Priority Pass visits
- Points worth 1¢ towards travel
- Card earns
- 5x points on dining & travel
- 2x points on purchases made through mobile wallet
- $400 in annual travel credits, including:
I personally think the $495 card is significantly worse, seems harder to use the travel credits and it’s a massive devaluation to the points earning through mobile wallet. U.S. Bank is releasing two new Altitude cards.
