The Altitude Go Visa Card is new card offered by U.S. Bank that falls under the Altitude Rewards Program. It has no annual fee, a great return on dining/takeout spend, and offers a small annual credit for streaming purchases.
Note that Altitude Points earned on the Altitude Go Visa and Altitude Connect will be worth 1 cent each. You will not be able to combine them with the points earned on the Altitude Reserve and redeem them for 1.5 cents.

For a card with no annual fee, these are some pretty great returns. If you have (or plan on picking up) the Altitude Reserve, do note that mobile pay is an option for most dining, grocery, and gas station purchases. Since points earned with the Altitude Reserve are worth up to 1.5 cents each, this can grant you a better return in most cases. Just be sure that you have enough mobile charges that make the annual fee of the card worth it.
Perks & Benefits
The U.S. Bank Altitude Go Visa has only one primary card benefit which is an annual streaming credit.
- Annual $15 Streaming Credit
- For every 11 months of streaming services that is charged to your Connect Card, you'll receive $15 in complimentary streaming credit on the 12th month.
- You do not have to charge the same streaming service to the card every month as long as at least one streaming charge hits the card during each of the 11 months.
- The Connect Visa offers a higher credit of $30.
Sign Up Bonus
The standard sign up bonus for the Altitude Go Visa looks to be 20,000 Points after $1,000 spend within the first 3 months. With Altitude Points being worth 1 cent each, this is worth $200. This sign up bonus ends August 9th, 2020.
The card also comes with 0% intro APR for 12 months on purchases and balance transfers.
Fees
Annual Fee
The Altitude Go Visa has a $0 annual fee which is fantastic for a card that offers 4x on dining along with a streaming credit. The card is a great replacement for the old Barclays Uber Visa.
Authorized User Fee
The Altitude Go Visa does not have an authorized user fee. I highly recommend adding friends/family as authorized users, especially if they spend in the dining/takeout category.
Foreign Transaction Fee
The Altitude Go Visa has a 0% foreign transaction fee. This makes it a great choice for international dining/restaurant spend.
Rewards Calculator
You can use the rewards calculator to calculate how many points, miles, or cash back you can earn based on your spend per category. This calculator will also give you the dollar value of the card based on the value of the rewards earned and how much each benefit is worth to you, minus the annual fees.
