I'll check again once the statement closes on 11/4
confirmed Google Pay web checkout on Altitude does not earn 3x

I've been using my Altitude with my Samsung Galaxy S6 I bought refurb on ebay.
I believe we're less rare than we think we are. The only thing I've found that sucks is authorized users must have a SSN and ITIN/no SSN isn't accepted to issue an additional card. AMEX for example allows for passport/foreign driver's license as identification, but US Bank does not. Barclaycard and Synchrony only ask for names. It makes sharing this card a bit more difficult.
4.5% for all in-person purchases with 0 FTF is a goldmine for travelers (grocery, shopping, any purchases made in person)
The only thing I haven't been able to get it working at is gas stations that don't take tap.
