Issuer Rules

Rules: The U.S. Bank Altitude Go Visa Secured Card is designed for individuals with limited or no credit history, or those looking to rebuild their credit. Eligibility requirements for 2026 include being at least 18 years of age, a U.S. resident, possessing a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), and demonstrating the ability to make a security deposit (minimum $300). Applicants must also meet U.S. Bank's income verification standards. While this card typically does not offer a traditional sign-up bonus, its value lies in credit building and rewards earning. U.S. Bank enforces a strict application policy, notably the '2/12 Rule,' meaning applicants are generally limited to receiving approval for a maximum of two new personal credit cards from U.S. Bank within any rolling 12-month period. This rule applies to new card applications, not total cards held.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: N/A (Secured cards typically do not have a sign-up bonus with a minimum spend requirement)

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (MS), high cumulative credit limit relative to income, rapid application for multiple cards (exceeding issuer rules), suspicious spending patterns, failure to make timely payments, abuse of return policies, excessive credit limit increase requests, or any activity deemed fraudulent or high-risk by U.S. Bank.

Average Rating: 3.7 / 5.0

Top Positive Feedback:
Excellent rewards for a secured card, especially for dining and groceries, with no annual fee. Provides a clear path to building credit and potentially graduating to an unsecured card.

Top Negative Feedback:
Requires a security deposit which ties up funds. The APR is high, and initial credit limits can be low, which is typical for secured cards.
