The Winter Olympics are almost here… and long time readers know what that means…
Just like clockwork the US Bank Flexperks sign up is back with an additional bonus based on the US team medal count. Six years ago, I picked up this card [1] and it turned out to be a lucrative sign up bonus!
This year, they’ve increased the minimum to 25,000 points. The standard sign up bonus is 20,000 points. During the Winter Olympics, each medal is worth more points than the summer Olympics.
The US Bank offer is our Free Money [2] Friday offer.
