Worth considering if you already want this type of card.
- Full annual fee:
- none
- Major trade-offs:
- 5x travel rate is portal-only (not direct bookings) US Bank is regional — it often expects an existing banking relationship
- Against a no-fee alternative:

Detailed methodology
Net annual value = rewards on a spending profile at typical point value − the full annual fee; credits count only if you tell us you use them; a welcome offer counts once, in year one, only where the profile meets its requirement. Same math as Find a Card. Methodology v2026.09.4.
