U.S. Bank Altitude Connect cardholders, listen up! Your card now comes with complimentary GigSky global mobile data, and this is great news for avoiding those nasty international roaming charges. Instead of hunting for Wi-Fi or buying local SIM cards, you can get free data in over 125 countries!
Here's the deal: You get a complimentary data plan that gives you 5GB (updated from 1GB, apparently!) to use over 15 days. The best part? You can redeem this benefit multiple times a year, just waiting for the prior 15-day period to expire. To use it, you'll need a phone that supports eSIM (an electronic SIM card). This is built into many modern smartphones and lets you add a separate data plan without a physical SIM.
This offer has been extended to Nov 30, 2026. If you travel internationally, this is a fantastic perk that could save you a ton of money and hassle. Just make sure your phone is compatible with eSIM and the GigSky app, and you're good to go!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
