US Bank Altitude Connect

Earn 20,000 bonus points (worth $200 toward travel) after spending $1,000 on eligible purchases within your first 90 days of account opening. Points can be redeemed for travel or deposited into an eligible U.S. Bank account.

Earn 5 points per $1 on prepaid hotel and car rental bookings made through the Altitude Rewards Center. This elevated rate only applies to prepaid reservations — bookings made directly with hotels or rental agencies earn at a lower rate.

Earn 4 points per $1 on travel purchases such as airlines, hotels, and car rentals, plus at gas stations and EV charging networks. The 4X rate on gas and EV charging is capped at $1,000 in spending per quarter. Discount stores and wholesale clubs do not qualify.

Earn 2 points per $1 on dining, grocery stores, and streaming services. Purchases at discount stores or wholesale clubs may not qualify under the grocery category. No activation is required — just use your card at eligible merchants.

Every eligible purchase that doesn't fall into a bonus category earns 1 point per $1 spent. Points don't expire as long as your account stays open and in good standing.

Get reimbursed for your Global Entry ($100) or TSA PreCheck (~$85) application fee as a statement credit. Pay the fee with your Altitude Connect card when you apply. The credit posts within 1–2 billing cycles after the charge appears.

This card carries no annual fee, so there's no recurring cost to keep it in your wallet. The $0 fee applies automatically — nothing to enroll in or maintain.
