Frequent Miler wrote a breakdown about the US Bank Altitude Card. It seems like a good one to add to the arsenal, especially if Chase hates you, Alaska is over your antics, and Citi has shut you down. I used to have the Northwest Airlines card with US Bank until the Delta merger and still hold onto the Club Carlson cards.
The question is not whether I want the Altitude card but whether I will be approved. US Bank has strict lending policies which were around way before the days of 5/24. Years ago, I fought hard to get the LifeMiles card and was finally approved. It’s anyones guess if they’ll be handing these cards out like Skittles in order to gain market share or if they’ll be as conservative as ever.
I’ll find out on May 1st. What about you? Are you going to risk an inquiry in exchange for a hefty annual fee and some points, along with a unique feature– 3x points on mobile purchases?
Was approved on my third application for their Flexperks card. They are a tough nut to crack
Truly
Is it possible US Bank is the one bank that has figured out how to filter out unprofitable customers? Hope it doesn’t spread.
Every bank makes money. I don’t believe for a second that they do not.
any sugegstions on maxin out the “mobile” purchases? Afterall, there’s only so much you can buy in person at the store.
I’ll be looking to FM for those tricks. I’m guessing this idea will not last long
