I mentioned this as the Olympics were starting, but there’s a much clearer idea what the bonus will be now. With 3 days left, we’re looking at well over 30,000 extra points in addition to the normal 20,000. In case you’re not familiar with FlexPoints, click here and look at Air Travel Rewards. Great currency to have. Pretty dumb to wait more than 2 weeks (when the promo ends) if you’re thinking about this card. Not Ryan Lochte dumb but it’s a deal not offered since the last Olympics. The bonus will be dropping right back to 20,000 after September 3rd. Have a great weekend, nerds!
Edit: Oh, cruel irony. It appears the only thing dumber than Lochte is…well, me. Apparently I’m the one Indian guy who can’t do math. Thanks to reader Chris for doing some calculations. So far, it actually looks like around 12,000 bonus points in addition to the regular 20,000. Still a great time to get this card but, yeah, I’m a dumbass.
