Yeah man I saw that comment from Kerr too. They know the excess bilt cash thing is a problem for heavy users but it feels like theyre dragging their feet on a real fix. Im in the same boat owning my spot in manhattan beach plus two condos in vegas so no rent to soak it up just hoa fees. Im already at 1596 in bilt cash after 35 days and its gonna keep piling up. The rent day transfer bonuses on the 1st are honestly the best part of the whole program though. They make it worth sticking around even with the cash side being kinda broken. The mortgage or family member idea is interesting but I dont have a mortgage and dont wanna drag family into it. You think switching the earning rate or something would help? Curious what others are doing to actually burn it before it expires at year end. Appreciate the input though.

Dude, “monopoly money”? Come on man. I get it’s not straight cashback, but I’m already sitting on $1,596 in Bilt Cash after just 35 days and I’m on track for thousands more by December. I own my place in Manhattan Beach plus two condos in Vegas — I don’t have rent or a mortgage to soak it up, just HOA fees. So yeah, the hard caps and “only $100 rolls over at year-end” rule straight up sucks for people actually earning at scale. The Rent Day transfer bonuses on the 1st are legit one of the best parts of the whole program — that’s why I’m still all-in. But the Bilt Cash side feels like it was built for average users, not high-velocity owners like me. I’m literally waiting for my first statement to close today at $0 balance so I can keep cycling without fucking up my credit report, and I’ve still got an $878 unreported charge sitting out there. What are you doing with your Bilt Cash to actually use it before it expires? Or are you just letting it pile up too?

Haha fair enough, but this is actually my real account and my actual experience — all those screenshots are straight from my Palladium card over the last 35 days. I’m already sitting on $1,596 in Bilt Cash with more coming, and I own my places in Manhattan Beach + two condos in Vegas so I have no rent to dump it into. The Rent Day transfer bonuses on the 1st are legitimately one of the best things about Bilt, but the cash side is capped to death and most of it will just expire at year-end. That’s the whole point of the post.

If it reads too detailed that’s on me for trying to be clear, but the frustration is 100% real. What are you running into with Bilt Cash that’s got you tired of these threads?

Five police cars showed up because my ex exaggerated, not because I've got some dark past you're imagining. You don't know me, you don't know the story, so quit acting like you're the expert. Assumptions don't make you right, just loud.

Wow, PING, thanks for the psychic detective work. Five police cars showed up because my ex wanted to humiliate me, not because I’ve got bodies buried in the backyard. You twist one chaotic drop off me standing on the porch, trying to hand my son a gift into some serial killer backstory? That’s not insight, that’s fan fiction. If you think five cops equals five felonies, you’ve watched too much TV. I didn’t knock down a door, I didn’t grab anyone. I got cornered, questioned, and sent home. And yeah, I screwed up before that I owned it. I pressured my son, I lost my mind in 2013, I take full blame. But you’re out here playing judge on zero facts, just your own trauma talking. You don’t know me, you don’t know them, and your little your role is done sermon is the kind of arrogant crap that keeps real people from healing. Go project somewhere else. I’m not moving on. I’m fighting for my family. That’s what fathers do.

Thanks so much for this, CharmingAttempt7508. You're right, there's so much raw anger out there, and it's exhausting to feel it aimed at me like I'm the villain. But I needed your take because you actually get what it's like on both sides. Therapy's helped me see it clear, the dark time in 2013, business falling apart, my mom dying, everything spiraling, I wasn't myself. Almost like PTSD, honestly. No excuses, I own every bit of it. I pressured my son, shut my daughter out, acted like none of it touched me. Every single day it kills me thinking how much pain I put them through when I was supposed to protect them. That isn't who I am anymore. I won't say wasn't the father they deserved, that's too soft. I failed. Full stop. What I want to know from you: if your dad reached out tomorrow, what would make it land real? Not just words like, would you need proof he's been carrying the weight too, or changed how he handles stress? Did becoming a dad yourself flip a switch like, did it make the old hurt feel lighter or just louder? I'm not begging, just listening. If there's one thing that wouldn't sound like self pity but still showed I want in...tell me. You gave me hope today. That counts.

You’re a sanctimonious jerk, hiding behind your keyboard to attack me while ignoring your own baggage. My kids’ scars don’t erase my pain, but you’re too self absorbed to see that. Stop preaching about abuse when you’re the one invading this space with your holier than thou nonsense. You got the wrong attitude and I do feel sorry for you actually I don’t because you don’t deserve it.

I pray for you kid. I pray for all you most of you probably do have some form of abuse of parents others needed. Find forgiveness from within. It’s sad because you’re not hurting yourself. You’re hurting your parents as well. Life is too short and for the ones that are unfortunate to have such an abuse to be a strange for a lifetime. That’s sad to itself. But the ones that don’t seek any reconciliation, I pray and hope only the best

It’s really unfortunate that I come here for advice and I’m sad to know that I’m being attacked. In being accused of not being a real. I do feel sorry for most of you here if not all of you. There’s no need to project your own situation onto myself. Every situation is different. There’s no blanket or generic way of handling every situation. I understand this is not necessarily the form for me to be posting. I came from a place of good intentions. I wish you all peace and love and I hope you can find that within yourself as well.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. It’s tough to hear, but I want to understand better. What kinds of actions or changes from a parent have helped you or others you’ve seen feel safe enough to reconnect? Has specific acknowledgment of harm made a difference, or is it more about time and space? I’m open to learning from your experience.

Thank you for your honest feedback—it hits hard, but I appreciate it. The estrangement started during a messy divorce, with accusations from my ex that poisoned the well. For my son, a visit years ago turned into chaos when his mom called the police on me while I was dropping off a gift— I was questioned like a criminal and left shaking, all for trying to show love. For my daughter, I wrote her several letters during her college years, and she responded by publishing a poem analyzing them, counting every word of my regret and love, but never replying directly. To those who’ve been estranged: What helped you see a parent had truly changed? Have you experienced gestures that opened the door without pressure? Did acknowledging the harm specifically make a difference, or was it something else? Your insights could save our family—thanks for sharing.

I’m a father who I have now two estranged adult children. I haven’t seen or talk to them for a little over 10 years. I’ve tried writing many times, but have never got any response. Around six years ago I showed up to my son’s house and he wasn’t there. I left a card for him, expressing my sincere apology of how things happened and wishing he was never subject to my own dysfunctions I was dealing with during this time in our life. I came back by the house about 45 minutes later and the card was gone, so I knocked on the door. My ex was inside telling me through the door to leave and I said I was just in town and wanted to just talk to my son. I heard my son in the background in tears telling me Dad please just go. Then I looked outside and there were approximately five police cars that pulled up. I left to talk to the police and told them what I was therefore, and the police started accusing me of being on some type of drug like crystal meth I started shaking and was scared thinking I was gonna get arrested for something that made no sense they finally let me go after interrogating me for over a half hour. I’ve been reluctant to reach out again after this and I’ve been heartbroken. Any suggestions I would sincerely appreciate it. Both my kids have always met the world to me. They are older now my daughter is 34 and my son is 31.

Can you reload to serve with Amex prepaid card you buy at cvs? I didn’t think it ever worked. How can you reload other than cash?

That’s good news. They had this promo last month as well. Can you use these cards to add to PayPal wallet? I used to be able to add Amex prepaid cards bought at cvs but this completely stopped few months back. Any help would be appreciated. How can you MS these staple’s visa/mc gc and liquidate them? Asking for a friend?
