I don't own the card but saw this post on Reddit regarding the Altitude Reserve and an email from US Bank about it. All were enhancements:
  1. 3x dining and $325 travel credit being able to use toward dining through end of June 2021.
  2. Postmate (benefit not fully detailed)
  3. One year of Norton LifeLock.
No devaluations or AF increases mentioned in this communication (of course, it may be they're letting some positive news sink in first to let people down later...)

I think Postmate and Norton lock are Visa benefits cause I got the same email for my cash+ card

The alternate version of the AR being floated in the survey earlier this year was rated as a severe devaluation by most. I'm sure it was poorly received in the survey responses US Bank received, we'll see if they go ahead with it anyway.

I doubt they'll go by the survey. I think they are trying to make an altitude brand. Have 3 altitude cards. We are already know the altitude Go and have an idea of altitude connect since the application site got leaked. My prediction for Altitude Reserve is 5X Travel thru portal, 3X restaurants and travel direct, 2X mobile pay and everything else 1x. The RTR will be 1 across all 3 cards and 1.5 value for Altitude Reserve card only thru portal. Similar to Chase reserve. They'll probably add the benefits and travel credits per survey. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you have enough points? How many points do you have and the amount charged.

I had enough @ 1.5cpp. System must have been down this morning, I tried again with another ticket, and just got the text. Thanks!

Is the $325 credit on a card member year or annual year basis? All the USBank pages are gone.

I recall that for some time, Apple Pay was working fine for 3% bonus, but Google Pay was not. Any recent data points?

I'm specifically trying to determine whether State Farm's insurance bills will earn the bonus if paid from the iphone app or an android app. TIA.

I'm not familiar with Android but if you pay your Bill thru Apple pay you'll earn the 3X.

Thanks trikotret . Yes, I had the same experience with Apple Pay. I'm especially interested focused in google play, and whether it's been fixed.

When was the last dp you saw with google pay not working?
like 2 years ago when it switched from “android pay” to “google pay” they had issues tracking it, but that was cleared up within a few weeks

Thanks DH Jed, that's helpful. Will give it a try and report back if it doesn't work.
