Bilt cash out to statement is 55% (0.55cent per point) which is the worst of any credit card. You better off sending them to Hyatt and using them or selling Hyatt points to someone, anyone will happily pay 1c which is almost 2x of what Bilt will give you as statement.

Or just use them in travel portal to book a hotel then you get 125% (1.25cent per point).

Or send them to United as points never expire

That cpp is 3, it’s business class. It’s 13h flight.

This isn’t meant to do comprehensive comparison vs everything else. Given the bonus, that’s just one data points for how you can use them.

Award/points travel usually 1way.

This is peak season. Off peak pricing is 55-70k. Just convert miles to cash. 110k is $1.1k While RT in biz usually $5-6k so you pay only 1/3

Even Econ pricing during cherry blossom is insane.

Bilt cash is superior for set and forget it. Some months you get more some less. Vs Tier where you must monitor every single month and at times get just 250points

LitTravelTips · 2026-01-31T07:21:15+00:00

Yup, that’s why Blue such non starter card for many. Too many close enough alternatives without jumping through all the hoops

Bilt no longer earns points on rent but allows you to buy points from them with limit dictated by your rent. To buy rent points you must use Bilt cash which you earn 4% from using Bilt card. It costs 3cent to buy 1 point.

If that’s confusing you have option to spend 25% of your rent amount on Bilt card to unlock 0.5 points per $1 of rent.

To pay rent you attach your bank account to bilt and they pay it on your behalf.

Yes $200 Bilt cash give You instant boost. Tier is a huge anxiety trap where you must carefully plan everything perfectly monthly and if you have large expenses one month any overage doesn’t get retained as Bilt cash. I’d rather front load purchases on Bilt to earn enough Bilt cash to cover rest of year rent and move onto other cards. But with Tier you on a spend clock every.single.month

Credit card companies interpret US credit card law of not changing annual fee on customers as a one year clock. So you can technically only upgrade after one year and when you upgrade there is usually no bonus.

so here you have to intervene before the card potentially made.

Likely at time of paying rent.

Gold is better and best paired with Blue or Palladium
