Source: U.S. Bank card page (usbank.com). Checked October 29, 2026. From the card page. U.S. Bank's Guide to Benefits for this card did not load outside a browser when we checked, so purchase security has no published limit here.

Before you rely on this: benefits only apply when you pay the way the terms require (often the full purchase, fare, rental or phone bill on the card), they have exclusions, claim deadlines and documentation rules, and they can change. Your card’s Guide to Benefits is the final word. Not insurance advice.
