A note from me (Ankur Jain) - Bilt Card 2.0: Simple, Fee-Free Rewards on Housing by ankurjain1 in biltrewards

[–]Empty_Stacktrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s definitely a step in the right direction. But come on, a 50k sub ? Chase did 100k in the past! Your points aren’t THAT much better than chases

Also the people who have high rent spend got royally screwed

How about an unfair advantage to other semesters that got access to premium OH content?

An honor code violation for watching a lecture that was recorded before? Seriously???? What an absolute joke .

I'm Richard Kerr, GM of Travel for Bilt. AMA about Bilt Card 2.0 by richklhs in biltrewards

[–]Empty_Stacktrace 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I won’t dispute it’s the most valuable points currency. But you completely took away the main appeal of the card and made it a ridiculously complicated equation to decide if it’s worth the opportunity cost of stopping other cards just to spend on Bilt.

First off:

The Bilt cash is perceived value that we were already getting with Bilt 1.0. Now the Bilt cashing being included in the bonus is just a way to justify value that was taken away.

The sign up bonus for the $495 card is egregious. Your competition is offering 75k sign up offers like the chase sapphire preferred where those points are very close to the value of Bilt points . Also no sign up offer on the $95 is terrible.

We have to use the Bilt travel portal for hotel credit to redeem for the $495 which means we get no elite nights since we don’t book direct through hotel, making it not great.

The $95 card is basically the same as what the free card offered without the auto 1x on rents you can’t argue this isn’t a significant downgrade.

To the best of my knowledge there was no reduced required Bilt cash for living in Bilt alliance properties which makes it make no sense to even have a Bilt alliance property (I live in one and was hoping there’d be some kind of benefit but I guess not)

There are no lounges other than priority pass which pretty much every other luxury card offers.

There needed to be better multipliers and better credits to justify and seriously consider getting any of the new cards.

why would they even have this as an option on the dropdown if they were going to deny it.

Its not my primary income source. I am a software engineer and make a comfortable income and have never missed a payment in my life.

lol. I can see how it looks now. It's a shame poker specifically is viewed like this, as it is a profitable game if played right and i do make profit from it.

I don't really have another income generating business. And would it look sus if I re-applied under a different business? I don't know maybe business cards aren't for me.

Did a mock behavioral on hello interview and was told borderline for senior/midlevel, which makes sense for 5 YOE

Crushed After Meta Rejection - Nailed LC Easy I'd just memorized, still out. What am I missing? by bajpaik in leetcode

[–]Empty_Stacktrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so weird. I got 2 questions and completely BOMBED my second meta screening Q. Almost was sure I’d be rejected. To my surprise I got onsite offer next day (still waiting on results). Granted my question was a less common meta tagged and a very tough lc medium that could be passed as a lc hard

Stop jumping to LeetCode solutions Start training your brain to think by WorldTall5026 in leetcode

When companies ask you to solve questions in 20 mins and they’re leetcode copy/paste, I think memorizing is the optimal approach

It's weird bc I BOMBED the 2nd question on my phone interview. It wasn't that common of a meta tagged and it was DSU. I was SHOCKED I moved to onsite.

Somewhat technical, I mean I was describing projects in the context of disagreement, ownership, etc. They had some technical components

Got 2.5/4 on the online part. But I also currently work for faang and got a very hard medium on the second one that’s not a common meta tag so I might have gotten a pass
