It’s no secret I love the US Bank Altitude Reserve. And while I think it is one of the best travel credit cards available, I understand it isn’t perfect. So, here are 4 improvements I wish US Bank would make to make the Altitude Reserve even better.

You rock. Keep the great videos coming!!!
Good luck with those changes. US Bank is known as being a very conservative bank. Don't expect to see them expand benefits (e.g. increase their costs) any time soon.
Great video. Does online transactions with apple pay count as 3x?
Great video!
Interesting how you didn't mention transfer parters. In additon to that, I'd love to see Altitude Reserve improve in following ways:
1. Add Gas, Grocery and Dinning etc as 3X, basically like CNB Crystal
2. Open applicaiton to non-US Bank customers
3. Offer 75K signup bonus
4. Add a "superpower" like Citi Prestige's 4th night free
5. Increase annual fee to $450 if Visa Infinite discount air is added
6. 10K anniversary points bonus
Maybe you need to reach out to US Bank and give them your suggestions if they want more customers. Thanks for the great video as always.
I am 10/6. Denied … :/
Wait…what is this Altitude Reserve you speak of? I have never heard you mention it before 🤔
I went to us bank today and felt I knew more about it than the branch manager thanks to you!👍
What does “real time” mobile rewards mean? Btw I’m dropping the CSR and getting the altitude reserve and surpass. I think the AR and the surpass are gonna be a great combo
I was looking at the Altitude Reserve online the other day and those changes you mentioned would really up the ante on premium credit cards. Hopefully someone at US Bank is listening. Happy travels Dustin!
It would be great if they could give me a free latte every time I used it at a McDonald’s. Only because the coffee is the only reason I go to McDonald’s
Keeper as is. 3k annual to make up for 75 EAF. Everything u mention is icing on the cake! Paired to Gold and Aspire, I’ll be set post AD.
The purchase requirement of $250 for rental cars is as much of a problem as the hotel minimum. I would reach it approximately never.
Agree with most of what you said, but mainly, the Real-Time rewards. Make it available on ANY travel purchase (rental car, hotel, price line, VRBO, etc) of $25 or more, something like that. I love the idea of being a "free agent" and not tied to a specific chain or airline. I'd pay $50 more AF if that were the case, gladly.
Okay, so now, Airbnb can be used within real-time mobile or not?
Aw that must only work for certain cultures, they only taking from me
