In November 2020 it was announced that PNC would purchase BBVA for ~$11 billion. Reader Tom just applied for the BBVA Select card (currently 50,000 points worth $500 after $4,000 in spend) and representatives told him that they would stop accepting applications for this card on June 16th, 2021 due to the PNC deal. Deal isn’t as good as the recent $1,000 deal, but that won’t be back before the merger so $500 is your best bet. You do need to either apply via phone or in branch and only available in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, California, and New Mexico.
I got approved. Got send an email with approval status and will get the paperwork in the mail
Did your card come with any indication of the bonus?
Nope. I looked at every piece of mail i got from them. Nothing
What happens to those that already have the BBVA rewards?
What happens to those that already have the BBVA rewards card?
Applied today and was told they will stop on the 19th, along with the other BBVA credit cards.
Did your card come with any indication of the bonus?
Rewards: CSR during sign up and paperwork confirmed bonus of $100 after 1.5k spend.
Select: CSR confirmed bonus on sign up call of 50k points after 4k spend (haven’t got the card paperwork yet)
Hopefully I just applied for a credit card thru their pre-qualify site and got approved as I know that PNC is super conservative and also stingy with their APR’s and credit lines if you are not a current customer.
Does it still seem to be the case that the BBVA Select requires a 100K income?
Yes it is required
called their general line, they redirected me to this as the number to apply 833-859-6149 x1
724-555-JAGG
So I had a simple bank account that got switched to a BBVA bank account, will this now be changed into a PNC bank account? Had no idea about the merger.
Yes, they’ve been sending out communications to that effect for at least 4-5 months now, if not longer.
Thanks, I just became a BBVA customer because of the Simple merger. First I’ve heard of the PNC / BBVA. Haven’t received any communication to that affect.
BBVA accounts will switch to PNC accounts in October:

Nothing would change before October 2021.
PNC will send out new routing and account number if necessary to change.
Any DP if you’re lol/12 and 2/6.
I am lol/12 in both inquires and cards. They did pull from the smallest one which is Transunion
