My first Bilt rent (condominium monthly common charge) payment and POINTS just processed. Thank you to all those who so graciously assisted (with replies to my questions above) my quest to (easily and no cost) pointsetize (like monetize) my monthly condo payments which has been a dream for 25 years since I bought a condominium after becoming (almost) obsessed with points and miles.

The Bilt website answered a remaining question as to how Bilt indicates the 5 required transactions each month (to earn points). With a statement date of 10/1/23, today on the Bilt website I see “STOP SHOP 0123 10/03/23 8 pts Earn after 5 transactions.” Of course I missed (until just now) the Bilt page “How can I tell how many transactions I've made in a statement period? A transaction counter will appear in the Wallet > Bilt Card tab of the Bilt Rewards app and our website if you have not met the 5 transaction requirements within your current statement period. Once you've made 5 or more transactions, the counter will disappear. The transaction counter will re-appear when a new statement period begins.”

FWIW, my condo payment appears on the Wells Fargo website as “BPS*BILT REWARDS B NEW YORK NY #12345678L6Y0WGNB3” and on the Bilt Rewards website as “BPS*BILT REWARDS B 10/03/23 2,000 pts $1,500.00” and “ Activity details +2,000 points BPS*BILT REWARDS B 1x Points on Rent +1,500 points First Rent Bonus Points +500 points Transaction amount $1,500.00 Transaction date Oct 4, 2023.” The word “rent” only appears in regards to the Bilt points, not regarding the description of the transaction on the CC activity. I’ve come to believe that condo payments (in many cases) generate Bilt points based on Bilt’s (? Mistaken) understanding of those payments as rent. Is it possible (or probable) that Bilt knows it’s a condo payment but chooses to treat it as a rent payment? (The “First Rent Bonus +500 points” was a pleasant surprise for me , those points are NOT "pending" 5 transactions.)

I also see today for the first time additional ways to earn Bilt points:

“Earn up to 300 Bilt Points with your Bilt Wallet. Add any card to your Bilt Wallet, and we’ll give you 100 points (up to 3 times). Link your credit and debit cards to automatically earn bonus Bilt points on eligible spend.” What’s the rationale and implications of adding a CC to Bilt Wallet? Any potential problems with charges being billed to the wrong credit card (add AmEx MR card to Bilt wallet, swipe that MR card, earn Bilt points but no MR points)?

“Earn up to 5X on Lyft rideshare. Going somewhere? Make it rewarding by riding with Lyft and earn up to 5X Bilt Points. Terms apply”. Chase has a time limited (IIRC March 2024 extended to March 2025) promotion for 5X on Lyft on some UR cards. As of today, is Bilt 5X on Lyft though to be time limited? If one has a Chase 5X card as default Lyft payment and adds that card to Bilt wallet, would earnings then be 10X (“double dipped” 5X Chase UR + 5x Bilt)?

“Earn bonus points with Bilt Dining. Use any eligible card from your Bilt Wallet, and earn bonus points at Bilt Dining restaurants.” I haven’t followed dining programs carefully since before COVID (when I used to dine out more often). Last time I reviewed, the dining programs for UA, AA and DL were all administered by the same company (Rewards Network) and I could only register a credit card to one of the programs, upon registering that same credit card in a different program the CC would automatically be removed from the first program. Is Bilt Dining administered by the same company? Can points for dining be “double dipped” (similar to possible Lyft double dipping above)?

Thanks very much once again.
