This is a new, permanent benefit for cardholders starting September 13, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The 100% match applies to using your card's points to donate to eight eligible nonprofits and charities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>American Red Cross<\/li>\n<li>Eco Challenge<\/li>\n<li>Habitat for Humanity<\/li>\n<li>Human Rights Campaign<\/li>\n<li>National CAPACD<\/li>\n<li>Operation Homefront<\/li>\n<li>United Negro College Fund<\/li>\n<li>United Way<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When using your points to donate to charities, points are worth 1\u00a2 apiece. Thus, a donation of 1,000 points would lead to a $10 donation. U.S. Bank would match that, for a total donation of $20. Note that the 100% match only applies to donations using points, which must be done in the Altitude Rewards Center. Steve Mattics, head of Retail Payment Solutions for U.S. Bank, said this effort is a way to &#8220;reflect our commitment to the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_124839\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-124839 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Brooke-Cagle-Unsplash-friends-using-laptop-featured-300x240.png\" alt=\"2 friends use a laptop together\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Brooke-Cagle-Unsplash-friends-using-laptop-featured-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Brooke-Cagle-Unsplash-friends-using-laptop-featured-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Brooke-Cagle-Unsplash-friends-using-laptop-featured-325x260.png 325w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Brooke-Cagle-Unsplash-friends-using-laptop-featured.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Brooke Cagle\/Unsplash<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"How_To_Make_a_Donation\">How To Make a Donation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you'd like to make a donation using the points from your <a data-ccid=\"4048222\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/USBankAltitudeGoVisaSignatureCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Altitude Go<\/a>, you can do that on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/usbank.com\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Bank website<\/a> or in the mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>From the website, select your Altitude Go card and choose &#8220;Go to rewards & benefits.&#8221; From here, click on &#8220;Redeem rewards.&#8221;\u00a0Within the U.S. Bank mobile app, click on your Altitude Go card, then choose &#8220;Redeem or View my rewards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Points will be worth 1\u00a2 when redeemed in the portal, and US Bank will match the value of your donation if it's made to one of the eligible organizations mentioned above.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Our_Take\">Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why you might want to support an eligible charity or nonprofit.
