DP, funding with USAA limitless still codes as purchase (“online services”)

I received a promotion email, possibly targeted. The subject is “We want to give you $25.” It says “We noticed that you haven’t taken advantage of your BBVA Compass checking account of late…Simply bring your checking balance to $100 by September 21st, and, if you still have $100 in your account on November 21st, we’ll deposit $25 in your account within 90 days.” The odd thing is I have exactly $100 in my account, so presumably if I do nothing they’ll give me $25.

How did I miss it? 🙁
I might open an account just for credit card funding option.

Account opened in November, met requirements and bonus didn’t post. I followed up by calls and secure message. I filed a CFPB complaint and also sent a secure message saying I was filing complaint. Bonus posted few days after that

They only allow now a maximum of $500 funding by credit card.

So random question, has anyone tried closing before the 12 months and had them try and claw back the bonus?

Not worth trying. The account is free… just leave $20 in there and let it ride. Use Mint or something similar to monitor the lack of fees or activity and then close in a year.

To DoC: I have a very sad DP to report. I believe BBVA Compass is no longer accepting CC funding. Tonight I tried to open both a CD and Money Market account and the only option to fund was ACH or internal transfer at BBVA. I am hoping it is just temporary, but I predicted $5K credit card funding would be lowered and go away. Sometimes I hate it when I am right. When I opened my checking months back, CC funding was denied by the CC, but was able to fund a Savings later. I wanted just one more taste to finish the spend on a Visa that needs a bite. I “saved” my application and will try again Monday. Maybe the CC machine is broken on the weekend?

Thanks. That’s kind of what I thought.

Maybe. They wouldn’t offer it if they didn’t want people to use it, so I put an e-mail into the bank to see if Credit Card Funding is disabled, or down. I imagine I will get a response tomorrow. Really hope it’s just a temp. glitch.

Looking through different comments above, CC funding is apparently only available to Savings and Checking accts. It’s not something new. False alarm – Oops.

Cancelled the apps for the BBVA CD & Money Market. Opened a 2nd savings. However, only allowed a max of $500 CC funding. Disappointing. Not sure if that’s the same for “new customers” or not. Never got a response to my e-mail, so I guess they are blowing me off. Overall, not great. Probably took 3 EWS inquires and only did $500 MS for my $3.5K MSR.

NFCU Visa Flagship Rewards showing $500 as a purchase. I have a $0 CA limit. Not sure why, because I didn’t ask them to lower my CA limit – that’s the way it arrived. But I have a 16K CL. Not worried, but thought it was odd.

I filed a CFPB complaint for not receiving the bonus. I opened the account on the 20th and got the CC funding declined. Finally I was able to fund it on the 25th. After checking with customer service couple of times and bonus not posting, I filed the complaint. Finally they responded and apologized for the poor communication and posted the bonus on the 19th of this month.

Tommy, do you remember if the deadline was extended past 11/20 if you were able to apply on 11/23 and get the bonus? I applied on 11/29, the promotion link was still available, but I’m not sure they’re going to honor it if was past the date. I just can’t remember.

Tommy, do you know if the deadline was extended beyond 11/20 if you applied on 11/23 and got the bonus? I applied on 11/29, the link was still active, but I can’t remember if there was a hard cut off or if I’ll end up getting the bonus.
