Granted, but could conceivably max out Ink approvals/SUBs while still having capability for additional (Hyatt CC) approvals/SUBs.

Kind of a lengthy answer. The Cliffs Notes* version is upon receipt of a new Bilt MC an email is often received stating (paraphrasing): “Your Bilt Mastercard has been delivered! … offer you 5X points on all of your eligible purchases (excluding rent) for the next 5 days … Terms: … only valid for 5 days from the date this email … earn a total of 5 rewards points, (1 base point plus 4 bonus points), per $1 spent on net purchases … maximum … 50,000 points… must make at least 5 transactions each statement period using your Bilt Mastercard to earn points.” I refer to it as "quasi" due to the 5 day timeframe.

I documented my recent experience with Bilt application, receipt, quasi-SUB in a series of posts on the Bilt thread starting on 9/1/23. This post discusses the quasi-SUB, this post clarifies the quasi-SUB max.

(* Cliffs Notes: a series of pamphlets with summaries and basic analyses of works of literature intended as study aids, is a company that makes books that tell you the gist of a certain topic; in other words “the short version” – of which my posts rarely are .)
