I’m pretty sure that a triple dip like this would be well discussed here and on some of the blogs yet I haven't seen that so I think I’m missing something. Please advise. Thank you.
Mission not accomplished, unsure if mission is actually possible.

On March 1st I linked several credit cards, mainly for the 2K points, but also in a (hopefully not quixotic)quest for the triple dip described above. One of the cards linked was my Chase card that is my current default payment for Lyft rides. Did a Lyft airport ride on March 2. 3x Hilton points posted immediately, Chase account shows 5x points to be earned on my next statement, Bilt shows bupkis.

AFAICT, other than the Bilt points for the initial linkage, theirs no benefit to linking a credit card to my Bilt account.
