U.S. Bank has launched a new Altitude credit card aimed at the value-minded consumer who spends money closer to home.
Among the most notable features of the new $0-annual-fee U.S. Bank Altitude® Go Visa Signature® Card: It earns 4 points per dollar spent at restaurants. That’s a huge rewards rate for a card with no annual fee.
It joins a luxury travel card launched in 2017, the U.S. Bank Altitude™ Reserve Visa Infinite® Card, with an annual fee of $400.
