> US Bank has been a latecomer to the high sign-up bonus credit cards game - but they are building an impressive line-up.

US Bank has been a latecomer to the high sign-up bonus credit cards game - but they are building an impressive line-up.

The [Club Carlson Premier Rewards Visa Signature Card](http://www.mightytravels.com/forward/ClubCarlsonUSBankClubCarlsonPremier) has an attractive sign-up bonus and doubles the value of your existing points with the free night option. This makes it the only card that gives you 4 nights in a top range hotel (category 5 or 6 ).

They also recently doubled the sign-up bonus to [40,000 miles on the LifeMiles Visa Signature Card](http://www.mightytravels.com/13232755/new_us_bank_credit_card_offer_40000_avianca_lifemiles.php).

Now so far it was common wisdom that you could only get any credit card from US Bank if you had no credit inquiries in the last 6 months OR freeze your IDA/ARS prior to the application. I applied for the Club Carlson card before in my regular 3 month round of applications and was denied twice.

Now I just got approved for the Club Carlson credit card in January and received my points lately. Now I did a round of applications this week since I wanted to take advantage of the 40,000 American Express Platinum card sign-up bonus before the policy change for sign-up bonuses (lifetime only).

I added an application for the US Bank Avianca Lifemiles application as well. I was fully prepared to be declined for this card. I got 'Application pending' when submitting the application. However today (without calling reconsideration) **I received the approval email!**

So it seems like US Bank has changed it's policies and is ready to approve applications even with inquiries in the last 6 months! This is great news. Welcome to the club US Bank!
