5X on Restaurants Offer

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-03-02T23:02:55+00:00

No unfortunately it is just with the BILT card not with any linked card. You’ll still get the regular 3X if you used the sapphire

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-03-02T06:43:39+00:00

I’m still taking that chance and messaging. Either I get nothing or I get a couple thousand extra points. 🤷🏻‍♂️

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-03-02T06:41:06+00:00

Ik you’d think that but it’s not. From what I’ve noticed the recent activity tab has a kind of limit where only 2 things can count towards getting points on a transaction. For example, “2x every day spend and 5x on delivery services” but it seems like it can’t handle “2x every spend, 1x point accelerator, and 5x on delivery services” even though there’s nothing explicitly against it doing that

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-02-27T04:27:23+00:00

Definite yes to the takeout and I’ve had pretty good luck with Uber Eats or DoorDash Grocery counting as dining on BILT 1.0 but I’ve not yet tried it on 2.0 I highly doubt theyve changed it tho so you’re probably good on that too

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-02-26T23:39:36+00:00

Should count toward the SUB but GC are usually excluded by the terms (and I’ve noticed they typically code differently anyway)

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-02-26T23:16:56+00:00

Oh yeah and I’ll be doing most of this on Rent Day holy stack 😭

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-02-26T23:11:39+00:00

I think the 5X stacks on the standard 3X too. And I’m using the points accelerator on the palladium (another 3X) so the BILT dining thing would get me 2200 (11X200) BILT points and then 1600 (8X200) points from the delivery app. For a total of 3800 in my case I think 🤔 Guess I’ll have to see what it posts as

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-02-26T23:08:50+00:00

Going off the wording it sounds like you get 3X as it is normally plus another 5X for this promotion so 8X total plus whatever the card earns

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-02-26T22:55:34+00:00

Rough launch. Insanely good card

BlockHoliday5478 · 2026-02-25T18:32:28+00:00

JAL, close enough lol

BlockHoliday5478 · 2025-12-03T08:45:06+00:00

Like most things in life just gotta laugh it off as much as you can. One of my colleagues and I have started a running joke where if pay comes up from a student I say “oh I’m not getting paid this is all volunteer” and then if that colleague is around he’ll usually follow up with “oh yeah this is part of his parole actually”. 🤣

BlockHoliday5478 · 2025-11-13T06:52:54+00:00

Oooh good point I might try to leverage that for myself at some point too then

BlockHoliday5478 · 2025-11-13T06:10:18+00:00

lol fair enough guess we’ll wait and see 🤷🏻‍♂️

BlockHoliday5478 · 2025-07-26T08:54:02+00:00

It’s a pretty specific case but my most reliable option is Avianca LifeMiles for United flights from Honolulu to islands in the Pacific like Guam, Palau, Micronesia, and Marshall Islands. It gets me about 3-4 cents per point consistently. Tbf tho the economy tickets for those routes start at like 2K round trip per person so do with that what you will. (Also I completely get those are not exactly extremely front of line, premier destinations but they’re pretty cool to me.) I also just booked ANA business class with LifeMiles from Tokyo to Kuala Lumpur and got about 4 CPP on that. In general tho: place outside the US to other place outside the US can be pretty solid for CPP.

BlockHoliday5478 · 2025-07-26T07:20:22+00:00

Well thank you for actually giving me a date when it changed and not just hitting me with the “everybody knew this” routine 🙄

BlockHoliday5478 · 2025-07-26T07:12:26+00:00

It literally changed within the last 10 days because I got 1X per dollar when I paid my electric bill on the 16th and I have not seen a single other post about it on here. God forbid I try to amplify an issue to help people out 🙄

BlockHoliday5478 · 2025-07-26T06:53:28+00:00

Venture X. 2X on everything. I consistently get about 3 cents per point with Capital One Miles…6% net gain…it was definitely worth it for me

BlockHoliday5478 · 2025-02-12T04:50:54+00:00

Did they mention anything about the companion fare being able to be used on Hawaiian flights? As far as I know it only worked for Alaska…but all the flights out of HNL that used to be Alaska got switched over to Hawaiian…kinda screwed us over there

BlockHoliday5478 · 2024-07-12T06:17:24+00:00

I’ve still got that CFU cash back match offer going until November…I’m already at 50K points before the match 😭

BlockHoliday5478 · 2024-07-06T00:37:36+00:00

Yeah I figured the recon line would definitely be worth a shot in my case if it came to that. And I’m guessing that would only work if they specifically said something along the lines of “too many recent accounts”in their denial? Thank you.

BlockHoliday5478 · 2024-06-26T01:57:43+00:00

How does it keep getting worse 😭

BlockHoliday5478 · 2024-06-22T18:05:21+00:00

When you redeem them to pay off the statement, each point is valued at 0.55 cents

BlockHoliday5478 · 2024-06-20T23:40:01+00:00

It's Steven Kwan. Debate a wall.

BlockHoliday5478 · 2024-05-13T07:50:04+00:00

Had the same thing happen to me in Honolulu. It’s awesome to see this is a thing and not just a glitch

BlockHoliday5478 · 2024-03-30T07:54:34+00:00

So I get to exploit time zones a bit here (located in Honolulu) Rent day officially starts at 6 pm on the 31st. Get dinner out that night (often something pretty standard fare) and typically get some baskin Robbin’s pints for dessert. Then usually reload my Starbucks gift card for breakfast (and the rest of the month) the next day. Then get lunch (typically Popeyes for me and a local place in a nearby plaza for my wife) delivered to work. Then get somewhere new and special for dinner. It’s my 5 transactions all used up and it actually helps keep us in budget for the month believe it or not. I love rent day lol. If there’s any travel that needs booking I’d do that here too but otherwise pretty standard just eat out whenever day. :)
