They aren't even trying to be nice. They could have cited a recent account change but no they went with: "BBVA customers need not apply". 


Lol. I can already picture a sign on their break room wall...

"Water dispenser for PNC Employees only. BBVA employees must use tap water."!!


That kind of mentality does sometimes comes across at certain levels when one company acquires another.

 

Occasionally it does backfire when it turns out that the acquired company has better talent and within 1-2 years they are the ones that start getting moved into leadership positions at the merged company.

 Thank you for your recent request for a credit line increase. At this time, we are not offering credit line increases to customers whose accounts transferred to PNC Bank from BBVA USA. You will be able to request a credit limit increase after 2/15/2022. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

 


Thanks for reporting the DPs on the CLI requests.  So, roughly ~4 months away, not bad.  Not sure why some folks may find such a boiler-plate message offensive 🤷🏼‍♂️  Seems like a straightforward message to me (IMO), plus at least it's published vs. agents guessing or not being sure whether it could be done or not.


I was joking about being offended. I kind of figured it would take them a while before a CLI was available. The card is not helpful for me so its going to be sock drawered anyway. I can't speak for everyone else, but I was just having a little fun with the whole thing. Smiley Happy


I wasn't offended at first, but I thought about it later and decided that I am. I didn't ask for this merger, but they're basically asking me to prove myself to them. The nerve! LOL...As I'm writing this, I'm wondering if there's another reason, like maybe we have to be part of their quarterly reviews?

 

As far as the BBVA employees vs PNC employees, for some reason, I was only thinking of the call centers and just hoped and assumed that we would get rid of them after the merger. I forgot about the actual BBVA branches. I guess they're still open? And, after my experience with two reps, I am convinced that they were BBVA employees LOL. It's a good thing that I rarely call my banks.

Yes, BBVA branches are still open and are now PNC branches.  In areas (such as mine) where there were both BBVA and PNC some consolidation might be expected once the dust settles, but for now they are all still open.

 

As for call center experiences, I only had to reach out to BBVA a couple of times but in both instances I had someone who was both friendly and empowered to help with my issue - absolutely no complaints. 🤷‍♂️

Agreed - I had the same experience. In fact, my experience with PNC CS hasn't been near as good as I got with BBVA. Other people have had different experiences, but mine always very good.

I haven't got them all yet, just the new PNC replacement for the former BBVA AmEx card, so 1 out of 5. The other 4 haven't arrived as of yet. Interestingly, 2 of those 4 had fraudulent charges literally in the wee hours this morning. So I called them earlier today (based on the text alerts) and they'll be sending two additional replacements. It's going to be a PNC CC party in my mailbox in the next week or so 😂🥳

I haven't gotten mine according to my Informed Delivery. But, I also read an article about the new AND old cards not even working. This applied to debit cards, too. Some couldn't access their money. If you actually have a bank acct w them or plan to use your CC, you may want to make srue that you can access your funds and use your CC.

 

"Interestingly, 2 of those 4 had fraudulent charges literally in the wee hours this morning."

This is why my card was locked at BBVA. I've had that happen twice IIRC. I didn't know if they would give me a new account number (and new tradeline), so I told them to do nothing since the charges ultimately didn't go through. Card was locked at BBVA, but I noticed that it was unlocked after the transition.

I get that some folks prefer to lock their cards for added security if cards are not being used or monitored for some time, however, both of those accounts had been active and used last month + paid off right before the transition. It really wasn't an inconvenience on my part since the call literally took less than 5 minutes (no extra hold times) and new cards were sent.
