Right now the rent would be a backup to PayPal Key for my use case unless the property management company my apartment uses starts incentivizing Bilt usage - I think my property management company charges a $5 fee for checks (ACH is free) but only $3.95 for debit cards, which PayPal Key is classified as in their system. $5 for 1300ish Hyatt points each month isn't bad, but not as good as the flexibility of PayPal Key.
Yeah, I'd say Hyatt, Turkish, and AA are the gems here. I've consistently pulled off 2cpp+ on my Hyatt redemptions, even above 3cpp at times. AA can get outsized value with the web promos. Turkish has their 45-47K biz redemption to Europe and the Middle East.
