Aparently, USBank does not like me. I tried to get in with the Radisson Rewards card, but was declined due to too many recent inquiries (excellent score and income).

Are there any data points on how USBank views making tax payments at PayUSATax via Google Pay? Is it OK or as bad as gift cards?
Thanks.
Thanks.

PayUSATax's site does not mention Google Pay. How would I know they accept it?

Good eye in finding this. I am not sure how this will trigger. I see the Visa Checkout option on payusatax, but it prompts for Visa account, not mobile wallet. I don't think a transaction via Visa Checkout is going to code as mobile.... Anytim with success getting 3x for tax payments?

Are there any data points out there for knowing how long someone should have an established relationship with US Bank before they can apply for this card successfully? How much in a bank account or how soon after you get another one of their CC's? I am wondering how to approach getting the card without a rejection so any news/ideas are much appreciated!

Apparently they don't get that many signups from walk ins.
They do not push the net $75 fee either, or the bankers typically don't understand it.

the process was the banker submits your info and the computer generates offer from certain cards. You can’t simply apply for the altitude card.

So would the person have better chance getting approved at branch than applying online?
