U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve – Use Travel Credit on Dining Permanently, Free Additional Cards & More
The U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve card is a premium travel card with a $400 annual fee and $325 annual credit. Now the credit card issuer has informed cardholders that the card is getting several improvements that make it easier to use the travel credit and add users to your account.
From now on, you can use the travel credit on dining, permanently. This was initially added a temporary option during the pandemic. Additional cards will also be free. Until now you had to pay $75 to add an additional user to your U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve account. Plus you will earn 3x on dining for three more months.
