Traveling may be a penalty in basketball, but during our Summer Travel Buzzer Beater promotion, it means a possible 10,000 bonus points1,2 (enough for a $100 account credit) for you! Just use your BBVA Compass NBA American Express® Card for a minimum of $2000 in eligible travel purchases, and the points are yours. Promotion runs from July 1st to July 15th, 2015.

to tight of requirements for most to find it userful..  Looks like Airline/Hotels and rental cars or similiar within a 15 day period of time?  Think you could yield better results for said expenses using a hotel card or simiiar?  Just seems very restrictive

^ I received the email as well BUT mine was spend $1,000 and receive 5,000 bonus points. I guess for those of us with lower limits we get the $1k offer? My CL is $15,500. Lol! Never the less it's a decent promotion.

Mine was also spend $1k for 5k points. $10,500 limit here.

My CL is 20k. 

My last  promotion 😕😕😕

The NBA Finals heat up in June and you can earn up to 5x points on all your purchases from June 4 - 18, 2015. Plus, take advantage of our Summer Travel promotion from June 25- July 9, spend $1,000 on travel (air, hotel, car rental) and you can earn 5,000 bonus points!   That's on my current statement.

I got the same message today as well.

Kind of a weird promotion.  $2000 in 15 days is a lot, unless it's some travel you were already planning to spend money on.  I doubt anyone is thinking, hmmm, let me go book $2k worth of airline tickets & hotel so I can get 10k points.  So, the promotion like this doesn't really promote behavior.  I guess if someone had needed a few hundred dollars to put them over the threshold it might work.

I got the offer today too, The DW and I can't use up $2000 in hotel and travel expenses in 2 weeks. 2 months yes.

I also got a call from the local main branch today asking if I want to come in and discuss other account options with Compass Bank. Will go in this week and see what they have to offer.
