Travel Redemptions
With the Altitude Reserve, you can redeem your Altitude Rewards Points towards travel purchases made on your card at a value of 1.5 cents via Real Time Rewards redemptions. This give you an easy way to get a 4.5% return on the mobile pay and travel purchases you make using the Altitude Reserve.
For other the Reserve credit cards and entire lineup of FlexPerks credit cards, you'll earn 1 cent in value when you redeem them towards travel on the U.S. Bank travel portal.
Statement Credit
Altitude Points and FlexPoints can be applied towards statement credits for a value of 1 cents each. This essentially lets you wipe away charges you've made to your U.S. Bank Rewards Card similar to how Capital One Miles and Discover Miles work. Do note that using this method to wipe out travel charges made to the card will still only give you a value of 1 cents per point.
Gift Cards
Altitude Points and FlexPoints can be redeemed for gift cards at a value of 1 cent per point. This is a solid option for anyone that wants to pick up gift cards with big brand name retailers such as Best Buy, Amazon, Macy's, and Saks Fifth Avenue.
Merchandise
Altitude Points and FlexPoints can be redeemed for merchandise for around 0.9 to 1 cents per point. This is not the best option for these points, but it's relatively high with respect to other programs that allows you to redeem rewards for merchandise. You'd be better off using your card to purchase merchandise as normal and then redeeming your points for a statement credit so that you always get a value of 1 cent per point.
Buying Rewards
Altitude Points and FlexPoints cannot be purchased. They can only be earned using Altitude and FlexPoints earning credit cards as well as through any promotion that U.S. Bank may make available to earn them (such as opening an account).
Share/Transfer Points
U.S. Bank Rewards Points can be transferred to other members in the same program. FlexPoints can be transferred to other FlexPoints Rewards members and Altitude Rewards Points can be transferred to other Altitude Rewards members. You will need the FlexPerks/Altitude account number and credit card number of the member receiving the points.
