One of the individuals in charge there @ The Bilt program came from Starwood,Jet Blue and IHG and had been involved

There target audience is the younger generation getting them entrenched before they go onto home ownership.
2 cents a point at least in hotel programs has been getting tougher to achieve of course always some sweet spot exceptions exist in almost every program
More and more as these programs get crazy with devaluations I am doing cash back more frequently @ 2% & 3 % return
Cash still king when all else fails with program dysfunction & excessive devaluation.
Bilt doesn't have amazing earnings, but it has a niche in allowing you to get points for payments that traditionally go points and cashback-free - Like rent. That alone with no annual fee is a VERY good value proposition. No reason to NOT have it.
