The Compound Verdict

For nearly a decade this was the highest earning card in America for anyone who paid by phone. U.S. Bank closed it to new applicants in November 2024 and then nerfed it hard in December 2025: mobile wallet earning capped, the $325 credit restricted to the bank's portal, and redemption values cut. Existing holders should run the math on keeping it each renewal.
