More details on new US Bank premium card
http://www.doctorofcredit.com/confirmed-details-regarding-u-s-banks-altitude-premium-visa-infinite-credit-card-eligibility-requirements/

- 50,000 point bonus after $4,500 in spend within 90 days (worth $750)
- 3x back on travel booked directly with airlines AND with NFC payments (which means lots of things could be 3x, but Samsung pay doesn't count)
- $400 AF, $75 for authorized users
- $325 travel credit (airlines, hotels, car rental companies, taxis, limousines, passenger trains, and cruise lines) - still TBD if this is by cardmember year or calendar year
- 12 GoGo internet passes every year
- Priority Pass Lounge (but only 4 visits per year, which is lame)
- TSA Precheck/GE reimbursement every 4 years
- Silvercar rental discount, Black Car service discounts
- Visa Infinite (still TBD if it will include the $100 credit when booking 2-5 tickets. Chase Sapphire Reserve does not - only the Ritz Carlton card has this perk)

No transfer partners or anything, so the $750 is worth just $750. But with an effective annual fee of $75 after the travel credit, it's worth it to sign up for the bonus. Not sure about the value of keeping it after a year, unless you could do a ton of regular spending with NFC payments.

It is limited to existing US Bank customers now. So you either need to already have a US Bank card, or you need to open a deposit account and wait ~30 days before you can apply for this card.
