That's different than the Bilt quasi-SUB (5x for 5 days after receiving card, max 50k bonus points). After reading the above few posts, I checked my Bilt $ and points spreadsheet. I definitely received 5x Bilt points for IRS and NYS tax payments within 2-3 days of receiving my Bilt card in September 2023. In fact, when I saw that the 5x bonus maxes out at $12,500 (not $10,000) a day later, I made a 2nd NYS payment which also received 5x.
Interesting that tax payments is #1 on the long lists of exclusions. Perhaps an indication that Bilt (and other credit card issuers) know that many people use tax payments as a “legitimate” form of manufactured spend?
