Medal final results as of 2/23:
9 gold, 7 silver, 12 bronze = 7450 points + 20k guaranteed = 27,450 points


This promotion is similar to a very successful offer during the 2012 Olympics --
See this historic thread: [EXPIRED] U.S. Bank CC with 33,150 FlexPerks [~640 USD] travel sign up bonus, no fee

Sign up link: http://www.flexperks.com/credit/offe...motion&lang=en
NOTE: This offer is officially expired. Even though the application page still loads, it is likely that you will only receive the 20k point portion of the offer if you apply now.

The offer expires March 7, 2014, and includes:
Deadline extended - must be approved by March 14, 2014... offer includes:

  • Guaranteed 20,000 FlexPerks points after $3500 spend within first four months
  • An additional bonus depending on how many medals USA teams win during the Olympics [Gold = 500, Silver = 250, Bronze = 100; actual total = 7450 points]
  • First purchase must be made by March 31 to be awarded the 7450 point medals bonus
  • For reference, based on results at the last winter Olympics, the total bonus would have been 29,550, worth almost $600
  • $0 fee first year, then $49 subsequent years
  • 3 pts/$ on donations to charity
  • 2 pts/$ for gas, grocery, and airline purchases
  • 1 pt/$ elsewhere

More about bonus earning categories:

2pts/$ in whichever ONE of the following you had your highest spend for the statement month:
  • Grocery stores
  • Gas Stations
  • Airline Travel
And always 2pts/$ for cellphone bill payments

Each point is worth up to 2 cents when redeemed for airline tickets, according to this tiered redemption system:



No partial redemptions are allowed. In other words, a ticket priced at $395 costs 20k points while a ticket priced at $405 costs 30k points. No option to combine points+cash. Each redemption includes a reimbursement for up to $25 of incidentals charged directly by the airline.

You will actually get:

(spend) + 500 (paper statements) + 20000 (bonus) + 7450 (Olympic bonus).

in my case I did the 1pt per dollar, so will get 31478 total.

First Spend 3/11, Spend completed 3/25, the 20K bonus, spend, paper statements were 24028 posted April 21st (Statement close). Have not yet gotten the 7450 olympic bonus.

@:-)@:-)@:-)^ Makes much more sense now, thank you!

First person to post having received the Olympics bonus wins! My first statement due date is in a few days. Wonder if it'll post after that.

I called up and they said I was not enrolled in the olympic bonus. I read off the dates I applied to the card and the terms of the Olympics bonus. Like the rest of you guys, I need those points to put myself at over 30,000 points so I can clear the $600 flight hurdle.

They told me they will call me back within 24 hours, we'll see.

FYI, I think that the 500 bonus flex perks points for opting into the paper statements is dead.

Borrowed from a FT post 2 years ago, here was the paperless bonus reference on page 3:

Now if you look at your guide now, this newest revision (from 11/13) doesn't have that language at all. It only mentions the photo contest and referrals flex perks.
