The U.S. Bank Altitude® Connect Visa Signature® Card is a new entrant in the world of travel credit cards that also comes loaded with an outstanding suite of everyday rewards: Earn 4X points on travel and at gas stations. Earn 2X points at grocery stores, grocery delivery, dining and streaming services, and a $30 credit for annual streaming service purchases such as Netflix and Spotify®. That’s also all in addition to the $100 statement credit this card offers as reimbursement for your TSA PreCheck ® or Global Entry® application fee every four years. Beyond that, this card continues to stay competitive in the crowded travel rewards space with a very sizeable sign-up bonus if you're a new cardholder. Earn 50,000 bonus points when you spend $3,000 in eligible purchases within the first 120 days of account opening. That's a $500 value redeemable towards merchandise, gift cards, cash back, travel and more.

Where the U.S. Bank Altitude® Connect Visa Signature® Card excels in travel rewards, it stumbles a bit when it comes to other features. This card has a decent ongoing APR for both balance transfers and purchases (15.99% - 23.99%* (Variable) APR} but does not feature a period of 0% intro APR for either and also sports a balance transfer fee: either 3% of the amount of each transfer or $5 minimum, whichever is greater. It’s also important to note that this card will eventually start charging an annual fee - the U.S. Bank Altitude® Connect Visa Signature® Card features a $0 introductory annual fee for the first 12 months, after that $95. Still, this is much less than some other competitors on the market offering similar features.
