The offer mentioned below for the U.S. Bank Altitude® Connect Visa Signature® Card is no longer available.
U.S. Bank launched a new rewards credit card to help cardholders get more from their everyday spending — plus the chance to earn a generous sign-up bonus.
With the U.S. Bank Altitude® Connect Visa Signature® Card, you can earn a 50,000-point welcome bonus (worth $500) after spending $2,000 in eligible purchases in the first 120 days after account opening (at launch, the spending requirement was $3,000 but has since been reduced to $2,000).
While many credit cards require that you meet a certain spend threshold within the first three months to earn a welcome offer, the Altitude Connect Visa Signature Card gives you an extra month. Your points never expire as long as your account is open and in good standing, and you can redeem points for merchandise, gift cards, cash back, travel and more.
In addition to the welcome bonus valued at $500, here is a snapshot of what cardholders of the U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa Signature Card can expect.
Rewards program
U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa Signature Card cardholders can earn rewards for spending in the following categories:

The U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa Signature Card waives your annual fee for the first year, after that it's $95. But there are some perks that can help offset the cost of the annual fee.

- Up to $600 reimbursement for cell phone protection if your mobile phone gets stolen or damaged
On top of the welcome bonus, rewards and extra perks, U.S. Bank Altitude Connect Visa Signature Card users get access to Visa Signature benefits. These include identity theft protection, a 24/7 concierge, food and wine events, as well as travel luxuries like automatic room upgrades when available and a $25 daily food and beverage credit.
