It’s arguably not as good as the Hilton AMEX though, which was recently 80k AND a free night good anywhere for 1k spend (which IMO I would take over 50k Bilt points that represents 5k spend, but they’re pretty close in value, and if you’re a Hyatt fiend I would see you taking the Bilt points).

I can’t speak to transfers since I won’t be transferring for a while (I actually want to push points to Hyatt at some point, as I am pretty loaded with AMEX and Capital One for the duration). Since I am LOL/24 and for Reasons (tm) don’t have a Chase card, I didn’t really have a way to push CC spend to Hyatt, and with PayPal Key being deceased, soon was about to lose a way to use my rent spend for point generation. This card fixes two problems for me, and while tossing yet another card in the pile moves me a little bit further back from 5/24 freedom, it makes it easier to sit back and chill for a year or so.
