You earn U.S. Bank Altitude points by using one of your U.S. Bank Altitude Cards for your purchases. You can then redeem these points for your purchases which results in a statement credit that offsets your Card purchases.
With the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve Card, you get 50% more in value when you redeem your points for travel. For example, when you use points to redeem for merchandise, entertainment, gift cards and cash back, each point is worth $.01 (one cent), which means that 100 points equals $1 in redemption value. However, each point you redeem for travel is worth $.0150 (one and a half cents), which means that 100 points equals $1.50 in redemption value, and points are worth 50% more than if redeemed for other purchases. For example, a 450 flight requires 30,000 points. (NOT 45,000).
With the U.S. Bank Altitude Go Card and the U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa Signature Card you redeem your points at 1 cents per point. For example, when you use points to redeem for TRAVEL, merchandise, entertainment, gift cards and cash back, each point is worth $.01 (one cent), which means that 100 points equals $1 in redemption value.
