MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Bank and Sport Chalet have enhanced the Sport Chalet Visa® rewards program by combining it with Action Pass™, Sport Chalet’s loyalty program. Sport Chalet customers now have the opportunity to earn more than 6 percent in rewards at Sport Chalet and 2 percent in rewards everywhere else. In addition, the rewards program will now have rewards fulfilled through Action Pass™, making it easier for cardholders to redeem their points.
“We are excited to re-launch the Sport Chalet Visa rewards program offering enhanced points earning opportunities to Sport Chalet customers and a fresh new look,” said John Owens, senior vice president of co-branded cards at U.S. Bank. “We are pleased to partner with a great retailer like Sport Chalet to bring such a valuable program to market."
