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.

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.

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.

My wife's Olympics bonus posted and she did have the card during the last Olympics promo as well. (Downgraded it to Cash+ after a year)
