There’s a new credit card out this week, the US Bank Altitude Reserve card. The card has a 50,000 point sign up bonus worth $750 in travel and earns 3x on mobile wallet purchases (ApplePay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, etc).
The new Altitude Reserve card from US Bank is available for current US Bank customers. Current customers include credit card accounts; we have a US Bank Cash+ and US Bank FlexPerks card, hopefully you do too!
The new card is a challenger to the Chase Sapphire Reserve card, but a good option for those of us who are prevented from getting it because of the 5/24 rule!
It’s our Free Money Friday offer.
