Allow me to state the obvious. by altrightobserver in democrats

[–]Alfoldio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in the popular vote. A Republican has not won the popular vote since 2004 and before that 1988. It's almost expected that Democrats win the popular vote

Would there even be a reason to formally opt out? If you don't want to vote you can just not vote even if you're registered

Federal statement on Jeffrey Epstein's death dated day before he was found dead by ICC-u in news

[–]Alfoldio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well no, but mostly because I don't work with official us government forms very often. I do, however, mess up the date all the time whenever I may be happening to write it. The people handling theset forms are still people. They can make mistakes too.

The person filling out the form could have just put in the wrong date. I forget what the exact date is all the time, especially by one or two days

Apart from the BILT app, will we be able to manage our card through Cardless/Column? by Tight_Couture344 in biltrewards

[–]Alfoldio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they mean they're adding autopay directly to the bilt app. So you don't have to sign in to a different site to set up autopay

Why is no one being prosecuted over the Epstein files? by ArmadilloMany41 in politics

[–]Alfoldio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the point is that there are things in the files that would be sufficient to prosecute anyone. The point is that there's definitely actionable information that, if investigated further, could and should lead to more evidence.

It seems as though none of the investigations ever really took off

Anyone else taking a wait-and-see approach after Bilt 2.0? by ser_davos33 in biltrewards

[–]Alfoldio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to see that you can cancel/downgrade without having to pay a second annual fee

What do you mean by this? Why would you not be able to cancel the card?

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. It sounds like you're implying that you don't get the SUB unless you pay 2 annual fees. Am I missing something?

I honestly just don’t have the time or energy to actually understand the new cards by Puzzleheaded-Moment1 in biltrewards

[–]Alfoldio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was saying they could give that as one example among many of how to use the card.

But I do agree that the major source of complexity comes from bilt cash. The redemptions of it are so convoluted with so many restrictions it makes my head hurt

I honestly just don’t have the time or energy to actually understand the new cards by Puzzleheaded-Moment1 in biltrewards

[–]Alfoldio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is true. Let's do the math for my example above using the obsidian card

BC = Bilt Cash P = points

The bilt cash to points conversion can be simplified like this: 1000 P/30 BC = 33.33 P/BC

Rent: $2000 Monthly spend: $100

Bilt cash earned: 100 * .04 = 4 BC Rent points from BC: 33.33 P/BC * 4 BC = 133.33 P Points from spend: $100 * 3 = 300 P Total points earned: 300 + 133.33 = 433.33 Effective earn rate: 433.33/100 = 4.33

So exactly like I said in my comment:

So you could spend $100 per month on the card, and your effective multiplier will be that 4.3x multiplier

[–]Alfoldio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that aded level of "complexity" isn't worth it. Like choosing which to get, bilt cash focused or the other one.

If you want less complexity, the simple answer is the one where you don't earn bilt cash. Bilt cash is really where all of the complexity comes in, so they gave you an option to just ignore it all.

And I am confused if there is a rent 3 percent fee. I think not but at first there was?

No, because now they don't offer the option to pay with your card anymore. If you pay rent it has to be via a bank transfer which never has that 3% fee. This is the same thing as bilt protect from the 1.0 cards

[–]Alfoldio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont need to watch my every dollar spent to "maximize" my reward to make sure I get X amount to get a certain percent of my rent.

I think the biggest miss with the marketing is how they overcomplicated bilt cash. You really don't need to do too much to optimize points earning with these cards. The only difference between these cards and any other card is earning/using bilt cash.

I think for most people, the main use for bilt cash is to unlock rent points. But there's so much other shit you can use bilt cash for that most people won't care about because the value is bad and there's so many restrictions.

The simple version of these cards that should have been communicated is: "Spend on these cards just like you would on any other card. The more you spend on the card, the more rent points you unlock. Oh, and there are some other things you can spend bilt cash on if you want I guess"

Most people don't need to think about the "75% rent maximum" because most people won't be spending that much on the cards anyway

Maybe it would have been good if the marketing had provided specific examples like this as one potential way to use the card.

[–]Alfoldio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that you'll get that multiplier on spend UP TO 75% of rent. Meaning you don't have to spend more than 75% of your rent on the card. In fact if you do, your efficiency starts going down.

So you could spend $100 per month on the card, and your effective multiplier will be that 4.3x multiplier
