League of Legends prepaid cards earn Riot Points with purchases

Are you a League of Legends fan? Do you want to keep better track of your spending but still buy all those seasonal Blitzcrank skins? American Express and Riot Games may have a deal for you, the New York Times reports.

Cardholders get 1,000 points, or around $7.50 worth, when they sign up for the card, another 1,000 for loading the card with its first $20, and even 10,000 points for linking it with a direct deposit account.

(We do not recommend you eschew a bank account entirely in favor of a prepaid debit card, no matter how many champs you can unlock with it. Especially if you need to shop somewhere that doesn't take American Express.)

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
