Altitude Reserve bonus available again after 5 years

Earlier this week. US Credit Card Guide published a useful tidbit: it is now possible to get the introductory bonus again on the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve if it has been at least 5 years since you last received the welcome bonus on the card. While that’s a disappointingly long time between bonuses, it is great to know that it is possible to get the bonus again.

The Altitude Reserve is a fantastic keeper card to have for people who make a lot of purchases in-person. The card offers 3 points per dollar spent when using mobile wallet, and points can be used at a value of 1.5c per point through the US Bank portal or Real-time mobile rewards. That combines to make for an effective 4.5% back on purchases where you can tap your phone or watch to pay.

A member of US Credit Card Guide’s forums picked up on a change in the terms & conditions on the Altitude Reserve application. The terms now say:

Existing or previous U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve Visa Infinite cardmembers are not eligible if you have received a new account bonus for this product in the last five years.

I find the wording there particularly interesting because it sounds to me like even existing Altitude Reserve cardholders can get the bonus on a second card so long as it has been 5 years or more since last receiving the bonus. That’s great news for early-adopters as this card launched almost exactly 7 years ago. Based on the terms, it sounds like those who opened the card and earned the bonus within the first couple of years that the card existed might be eligible to get the welcome bonus again.

This does represent a long timeline compared to other US Bank cards, where it is often possible to earn the welcome bonus again much sooner than 5 years in the future. Still, it’s good to know that this bonus is not a once-in-a-lifetime bonus and to read that you may even be able to get it as an existing cardholder.
