That thought process never entered my mind, I’ve been playing the points and miles game for about 40 years, far too long for such naivete.

Different stokes for different folks. I did the Rent Free game as soon as it was available, about 5-6 days ago. I barely and vaguely remembered the rules; some people would get free rent, a bunch more would get some points. Today, when I logged in to check my results, it was a relatively lengthy process which involved watching a video as they rehashed the 3 questions and indicated how many bongo (game) points I earned for each question. For a fleeting moment slight spatial disorientation led me to think I was earning 7000 or 9000
Bilt Rewards points … until I saw “#52,932, better luck next time”.
To me, that’s a pretty good definition of deceit and/or “bait and switch”. Bilt could just as easily have stated each person’s rank without disclosing the number of bongo points. My relative rank was significant for determining free rent or Bilt points, my number of bongo points was of less significance than the amount of lint in my navel (belly button)
