As a business owner, you can use the U.S. Bank Business Altitude® Connect Visa Signature® Card to earn rewards on travel, as well as dining and cell phone services. This card is an affordable option with benefits you can use while on the road or at your home office.
In addition to the annual savings you can get through rideshare credits and airport lounge access, this card has a few additional perks for your business spending:
U.S. Bank Spend Management: Access U.S. Bank's platform for business owners to manage expenses, track spending, integrate purchase info into accounting software, and more.
No foreign transaction fees: Save on purchases you make internationally with no foreign transaction fees. These fees can add up to 3% on each purchase abroad.
Annual fee waived for the first year: You'll pay a $0 introductory annual fee for the first year. After that, this card charges a $95 fee annually.
Free employee cards: Add cards to your account for your employees for no annual fee.
Travel protections: This card comes with some added travel protections, including auto rental collision damage waiver, lost luggage insurance, and travel assistance.
The best way to earn rewards with the U.S. Bank Business Altitude Connect is by using it for your business travel. Here's how travel rewards break down:
5x points on prepaid hotels and car rentals booked through the U.S. Bank Travel Center
4x points on other travel, up to the first $150,000 spent on travel each calendar year
Eligible travel expenses for the 4x category include airfare, hotel bookings, car rentals, gas and EV charging stations (though it excludes gas from superstores or wholesale clubs), passenger trains, and more. After you reach the $150,000 annual cap, travel purchases earn 1x points.
You'll also get an unlimited 2x points per dollar on dining (including takeout and delivery) and with cell phone service providers. Every other purchase earns 1x points.
As a new cardmember, you can also earn rewards via the U.S. Bank Business Altitude Connect card's welcome bonus. If you spend at least $6,000 within the first 180 days, you'll get 75,000 bonus points — worth up to $750 in rewards.
The best way to redeem the points you earn with your U.S. Bank Business Altitude Connect is for travel or as a deposit into your U.S. Bank account. Travel redemptions may include using points to book travel through the U.S. Bank portal or using Real-Time Rewards to cover a travel purchase you charge to your card.
