Yeah I agree I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it. I thought it was for the debit card but I was wrong.

BF got this offer in his email. He has a Venmo account but no Venmo Mastercard debit card.
I already have the Venmo Mastercard debit card and did not get the offer so its most likely a promotion to get people with a Venmo account to receive the debit card. You don't need a bank account to get the debit card and there are no credit checks. You just simply agree to have it sent to you. Its actually a nice offer.

By the way, bf also received an offer for the Venmo Credit Card.
You've been selected for a $100 bonus offer.
Apply for the Venmo Credit Card by June 25, 2026, and if approved, earn a $100 cash back bonus when you spend $500 in the first three months. There's no annual fee and no impact to your credit score if you're declined.

It is for a Mastercard Debit card., not a Mastercard Credit card.

I would blame that on googles personalized ad tracking, not Venmo.

Sounds like an unfounded causality bias. Similar to how gambling addicts start smacking, tapping and swiping slot machines because they think they can influence the outcome of a spin. All it takes is one significant outcome proceeding one of these actions for someone to be convinced that there must be a link, and then the seed of that (false) belief has been planted.

It's far more likely that you distrusted Venmo from the start, then you suddenly "noticed" that you had all of these scam emails, because you were subconsciously looking for reasons to validate those suspicions. Or maybe the person you paid was now targeting you, even.

You can't possibly know with certainty that the person you're responding to is wrong. That person said "sounds like" and "most likely"…They also gave reasonable and widely accepted findings for their opinion.
