PSA: Double Check Your BBVA NBA Bonus

Recently BBVA increased the sign up bonus on their NBA card to $200 after $1,000 in spend within 90 days. The offer itself was a bit confusing as the landing page showed this offer and when you clicked apply it showed the $100 offer. BBVA ensured people that they would get the $200 offer and it was just a website mistake.

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to be the case and people are only receiving the $100 offer when they complete the minimum spend requirement. Fortunately you can get the bonus you were promised, but you need to let BBVA know that you didn’t get the full bonus as promised. To do so, either send them a secured message or call. Our full review of the BBVA NBA card can be found here.

Does anyone know if the 5% bonus during NBA weekend is based on TRANSACTION date or POSTING date?

It should be based on the swipe date (I’m sure that’s what CSR will tell you), but last time their system was messed up and required manual credit for the final day or two of purchases.

Online purchases may be even trickier, see this post https://www.doctorofcredit.com/credit-card-transactions-purchase-date-and-post-date/

i recently applied for this card and for some reason received 2 cards. and it wasn’t because i added a authorized user. i received one card on tuesday and received another one yesterday. both cards are under my name with different account numbers. hoping i qualify for the bonus for each of the cards. has this happened to anyone else?

Very interesting. Besides the double bonus, it also gives you two cards to hit on during the 5x.

I called in about the promotion and was told that reward points would be posted at the end of January.

I had to call in also to get this fixed.
Don’t forget, NBA All Star Weekend is approaching, February 12-14.
Let’s see how this goes, hopefully no card lock ups and transaction posting issues.
