US Bank FlexPerks Travel Rewards Card, 32,100 Bonus FlexPoints
Last month we posted an offer for the FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature card. You could get a 25,000 signup bonus plus more points depending on how many medals USA would get at the Olympics game. Now we know the medal total. You need to apply by 3/10/2018.

Now we know what the medal total is. With 9 gold, 8 silver and 6 bronze medals, Team USA will get you an extra 7,100 FlexPoints.
Key Terms
- Apply for a new U.S. Bank FlexPerks® Travel Rewards Visa Card between 2/5/2018 and 3/10/2018 and make a purchase with your new card by 4/6/2018 to earn Bonus Olympic FlexPoints

Conclusion
I predicted on that previous post that the Olympic Bonus would get you about 7,000 extra FlexPoints. You’re getting extra 7,100 instead, for a total bonus of 32,100 FlexPoints. That’s enough for $481 in airfare, hotel stays, car rentals and more. Using FlexPoints got even easier as U.S. Bank introduced Real-Time Rewards. You can now redeem FlexPoints for travel booked anywhere.
Keep in mind that US Bank is not very lenient with approvals. If you have had your eyes on the U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve card, it might be best to go for that card first.

Not even close. All kinds of restrictions US Bank needs to clarify.
