The $400-annual-fee U.S. Bank Altitude™ Reserve Visa Infinite® Card is already a premium travel card, and for the next several months, it'll be a really good card for foodies, too.

Through the end of 2020 — and later extended through June 30, 2021 — dining purchases are a new bonus category for the card, earning 3 points per $1 spent. That's in addition to the card's existing rewards structure, which offers:

• 5 points per $1 spent on prepaid hotels and car rentals booked directly in the Altitude Rewards Center.

• 3 points per $1 spent on eligible travel and mobile wallet spending.

• 1 point per $1 spent on everything else.

What's more, the card's annual $325 travel credit — already one of the most generous such perks on the market — can now be applied toward dining purchases.

The moves from U.S. Bank are similar to those made by several other issuers in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Premium travel cards, such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and the Citi Prestige® Card, have made made similar adjustments to their ongoing rewards structures and travel credits to make their products more useful to cardholders who aren't traveling nearly as much during the outbreak.
