As discussed earlier, I think at least for those of us who aren’t serious churners and have access to other banks’ offerings there are probably more rewarding options. Or at least easier options.
I don't want to hijack this thread, but if I got the Palladium, I was going to transfer all the points to Hyatt and call it a day, probably keeping the card for one year to try it out. However, burning a 5/24 when I have a healthy skepticism of the issuing bank and sustainability of Bilt gives me reason for pause.
I am at 2/24 and should be at 1/24 in a couple months. I recently applied for the 5 x 50,000 certificate offer on the Chase Marriott Boundless. I was sure that I would have to reallocate existing credit, but they gave me additional credit and I know Chase will be around for the long term. I'm now planning to burn my next 5/24 slot on the rumored high annual fee premium Hyatt card.....Of course it is just a rumor, but it should also come with a decent signup bonus and be easier than getting and managing the Palladium and Bilt Rewards.
