BB&T Offers 5% Cashback on Groceries & Drugstores

BB&T and Suntrust Bank, which are merging, are offering customers 5% cash back on purchases at grocery stores and pharmacies. During the coronavirus outbreak, these are likely the most used categories, as many are avoiding non-essential purchases.

This is part of several relief measures from the bank, for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The relief measures include:

Providing payment relief assistance for clients with mortgage loans, consumer loans, personal credit cards, business credit cards and business loans.
Temporarily waiving ATM surcharge fees to help consumers and businesses access cash with greater confidence.
Providing 5% cashback when BB&T and SunTrust consumer credit card holders use their credit card for qualifying purchases at grocery stores and pharmacies through April 15, 2020.
