Among other things this month a bonus transfer to Virgin Atlantic
Didn’t they do Virgin Atlantic as a past rent day promotion? |
At Soulcycle today (Rent day promo) they said Bilt changed their process in the past month.
You now pay upfront for the shoe rental ($4) and water ($5.50) and Bilt is supposed to reimburse you credits. Assuming it works, this is good for me since it's one less charge needed per month. |
Amazon Fresh
My wife and I live in the UK and order Amazon Fresh as our main way of buying groceries in London. I have an Bilt milestone reward for 2x grocery stores for 30 days. Does anyone know if Amazon Fresh (UK) would qualify to get 2x? Thanks in advance!

I navigated to this thread because I tripped over Bilt in a weird way. I pay the rent on my girlfriend's apartment and they require it to be paid through Bilt. Now, I have done all the rewards tricks, in the past 15 years I'd estimate I've earned $100-$150K cashback and 4-5 million miles. I'm currently semi-retired (from point accumulating) and run almost everything through a 2% cashback or a 5% back on gas card. A few hundred or even thousands of points won't really move the needle for me.
Now here is the weird part. The rewards are 250 points per payment. I initially made 2 $1 payments (one from each linked checking account) as a text, and got 250 points for each. Of course I'm not going to try doing 1000 $1 payments, but I might do four payments per month. As I said, it doesn't really move the needed, but free points are free points! |

I wouldnt be surprised if they eventually reversed your extra points. |

You get only 250 points because you're just paying through the Bilt portal, not with the Bilt card. If you apply for the Bilt card and pay for rent with the Bilt card, you get 1x transferable points for your rent payment. (In case you didn't already know that)

Yes, I am at a loss to understand the appeal of this card for non-renters.
There is no SUB. The category bonuses (dining, travel) are mediocre compared to other cards. The double bonus on rent day is competitive, but I have several other cards that do not limit everyday spend bonus to 12 days and instead offer 2/$1 on everyday spend 24/7/365. Perhaps the best thing that can be said for BILT is that points transfer to AS, so maybe the card is useful if that is your ultimate goal (as the BofA AS card is even weaker for everyday spend). But otherwise I see no reason to waste a 5/24 slot on this card (already did that way too may times, e.g. JCB Marukai, CNB Crystal, X1). Or am I missing something?? So with a transfer bonus, the 2x on rent day eventually turned to 4x-5x, plus 1x on rent. It was incredible while it lasted. I'd gladly pay $300 AF to get 2x on Bilt general spend considering the transfer bonuses. |
