As if you needed another reason to watch the Olympics, US Bank is currently offering a fun promotion that ties the sign up bonus you’ll receive to the number of medals that the US wins in London.
When you sign up for a new FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature card by August 31, 2012 and spend $2,500 within the first 5 months, you’ll receive 500 bonus FlexPoints for each gold medal the US wins, 250 points for each silver and 100 for each bronze. Based on the United States’ medal count so far, it’s projected that the bonus should be worth approximately 30,000 FlexPoints when all is said and done. 30,000 FlexPoints can be redeemed for either $300 in statement credit or up to $600 towards airfare.
Update 8/13: With the Olympics now complete, we now know the bonus will total 33,150 FlexPoints, or up to $663 towards airfare.
