Back in 2017, U.S. Bank entered the world of premium travel credit cards when they unveiled the U.S. Bank Altitude® Reserve Visa Infinite® Card. It was the first U.S. Bank card that earned points instead of cashback and it was meant to rival other points-earning premium travel cards like The Platinum Card® from American Express and the Chase Sapphire Reserve® card. The Altitude Reserve card charges an annual fee and earns 5X points on prepaid hotels and rental cars booked through the Altitude Rewards Center as well as 3X points on other travel purchases and mobile wallet payments.
