Our Verdict
Easy money here. A lot of people have the BBVA checking account from the $200 bonus back in November, and have left a some small amount in the account until the the 1-year mark when it can be closed. Well worth bringing up your balance to $100 and leaving it there for a couple of months to get this $25 bonus.
There is one thing to be aware of, though: the fine print states “To qualify you cannot have received a cash bonus in the past 12 months”, so I’m not sure if this will work for those who recently got a bonus. Might be worth to give it a shot and hope for the best.
Thanks to Kyle, P.B., KyMur, and kimillionare for sending this in

I never received the bonus. I'm assuming it's because I got a BBVA bonus during the prior 12 months. It's pretty lazy (or sleazy) for them to send targeted offers to people who don't qualify.
I was also paid on 2/19. 2/22 would have been the 90 day mark for me
WOW. Paid out on 2/19. 90 days. They really did wait till the last minute to post these, lol. Closing my account this week, will gladly open again for a bonus in 12 more months.

I sent them a secure message and they said I don't qualify because I received the $200 bonus last January.
I sent them a SM but I am in the same boat. Crap!
I also was declined the $25 after following up with them after the 90 days. Saying that I was given the $200 bonus on 12/04/17 and I can't receive another bonus within 12 months. Put in a CFPB because according to my calculations the payout would be 2/19-2/20 of 2019 and my prior bonus is over 12 months ago.
Got the $25 after following up with their escalations team
CFPB'ing right at 91 days
Doing the same
Feb 19th is 90 days from November 21st... Stay woke...
Where's my money?!?!?!?
I still haven’t gotten my $25.
Ditto! They are probably going to take the full 90.
Still waiting as well
Anyone actually paid this yet?
I didn’t receive it yet. Hoping bbva doesn’t take the full 90 days after November 21 to pay it out.
Past the Nov 21 date. Just waiting for this to post.
