what are the maintenance and business categories good for?


I've never used those categories. 3% Utilities, bills, tv/internet, cell phone bill, and car insurance is what we use it for. We also use it for the targeted 5 - 7% bonus offers and 10% simple cash offers they have at times. We've earned $646 on this card from Dec last year until now.

The bill and utilities category pretty awesome. I have the AOD card now which is flat 3%, but I left all utility spend on the BBVA card in hope of them continuing to send the targeted offers. I've earned quite a bit of cash back through targeted offers in combination with the 3% on bills.

The thing is when it comes to finally choose the categories, do you wait until you get targeted and then choose it or do you wait until the last minute and if you don't get targeted then you just choose the categories that you know you're gonna spend money at?

What do you think you're going to do with the BBVA card, and paypal 2% credit card now that you have the AOD?

Re: Questions about the BBVA ClearPoints credit card.

I leave the 3% category on bills and utilities. I have all my bills on autopay and they charge the card and I pay it off every month. I always leave 2% category set on groceries and when I get the targeted offers, the points on top of whatever the card is already earning. IOW, if the targeted off is 4X for groceries, I'd get 6%. If it was 4X gas or restaurants, I'd get the 4X on top of the base 1%. 

Because it seems like I get the targeted offers because of spend, I'm going to leave my the 3% utilities spend on the ClearPoints card, and use my AOD card for all other non categorized spend. I made my daughter an AU on my PayPal card and she's running $300-$400 month through it and making the PIF payment. I'm letting her keep the rewards and it's (hopefully) keeping me in good graces with Sync.

It took a few months to get the targeted  offers rolling on both of our cards, but now we both get them frequently.

where do you check for the targeted offers? in the BBVA app? Email? or website login dashboard? or all?
