In late July, I got an email from my local BBVA branch manager for new checking acct SUB of $200 plus a new savings acct SUB of $50. That offer timeframe was valid July 24 to August 10 and I let that email offer expire.
Yesterday, I got a postcard mailer for the checking SUB. Now, I think I will sign up. I live in Florida.Would appreciate anyone's comments with BBVA checking accounts. Thanks!
Check order price is through the roof. I have (2) accts. but refuse to use.
Other than that, grab the SUB
They DO NOT pull Chexsystems .. so you got that going for ya
Sounds a bit like too much of a hassle/headache for $200, IMO of course. By the time you try to get any Money out of the account you'll end up forking that $200 right back to them!

Most banks are a ripoff for ordering checks through them. But BBVA in branch will print you two 'counter checks' for free, Wells Fargo charged me a couple bucks for that, but then I'm surprised Wells Fargo doesn't try to charge you an admission fee to go into a branch. 
I have a couple credit union accounts with free checks for the 1 or 2 checks I write per year.
@NoMoreE46I did similar what you did, I got a Clear Points last March and then in April I saw they had the $200 checking bonus and stopped by a branch and opened an account. BBVA is my closest bank branch and I get a couple hundred bucks monthly in cash reimbursements so it's really handy to deposit it at BBVA, their ATM does cash deposits. Other than I just just use to pay my BBVA CCs, and easy to pull money out via ACH pulls from other banks and avoid BBVA's $3 fee to transfer money out via ACH. I also have their Rewards card, a 1.5% cashback card that becomes a 2% card on every purchase with a $1k+ "direct deposit" into checking per calendar month, any ACH deposit works and I pull it back out in a day or two. And if you don't want to move payroll DDs for the checking bonus data points on Reddit & DoC indiacte pretty much any ACH deposit meets their DD requirement.
And no, they don't pull Chex, BBVA uses EWS.

Where most banks process transactions in a single batch each day, deposits first, BBVA processes transactions as they come in so it's very easy to overdraft with them if your deposit is scheduled for the next day and a withdrawal hits in the evening. I'm not really a fan of them. It also took over a week for customer service to respond to a message...
I seen the Fee list, scratched my head and said "what do they NOT charge for"

They certainly have their fee bases covered...
