Also, they tell me if it is rent it won't get the 5x - which I get, but this isn't really rent, but I understand it depends on how the merchant codes it. BILT can't tell me if the charge was submitted as rent or not until they approve it. If it is rent, I will use a different card that I am working on a SUB on, any thoughts?
follow up point- after some back and forth with this rep I got a courtesy 500 points - not the 10,000+ I was supposed to get ~$2500 vacation rental. I get the generic "welcome to bilt" email from the CEO - I respond to it thinking nothing will happen, within 30 minutes I get a response saying they made and error and I got the bonus points credited to my account!

I was pleasantly shocked
