U.S. Bank is offering two bonuses for new Flexperks signups: 20,000 points, plus bonus points for each medal Team USA wins in the 2016 RIO Olympics.
The final tally of Team USA medals for the 2016 RIO Olympics is in: 46 Gold, 37 Silver, 38 Bronze.
- 46 x 200 = 9,200 bonus points
- 37 x 100 = 3,700 bonus points
- 38 x 50 = 1,900 bonus points
After adding in the fixed 20,000 point bonus, this leaves us with a total bonus of 34,800 Flexperks points for the personal card and the same for the business card. That’s a value of up to $696 for travel (usually a bit less). Not bad.
The application must be received by midnight on September 3 to be eligible for the Olympic bonus, though some will prefer to wait until tomorrow to apply first for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card.
Offer valid to new U.S. Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature and U.S. Bank FlexPerks® Business EdgeTM Travel Rewards Visa Card applicants who apply at any participating U.S. Bank branch location, call 24-hour banking or apply online at flexperks.com/visapromo between August 1, 2016, and September 3, 2016.
Note that you need to make a purchase (any amount) by September 30 to be eligible for the Olympic bonus. So be sure to make a single purchase immediately when the card comes in the mail, then you’ll have some time to meet the $2,000 spend threshold.
