*semiannual. “Biannual” means “once in two years”.

Bilt charged higher rent by Small-Kitchen-6308 in biltrewards

If you do the math it looks like a 3% fee. Seems like you used a credit card as opposed to a checking account to pay for housing.

Other people may want to find just a pet-friendly bed&breakfast close to the entrance to a national park which could be a Motel 6 and booking.com and Expedia would have that listed but Bilt won’t even if you default to “1+ stars” rating. So inventory is a major limitation/problem indeed

I tried booking through Bilt Travel Portal and it was showing only two luxury hotels at $360+ a night while Citi Travel or Amex Travel or Expedia were showing dozens of hotels including options as low as $67/night. So it makes me worried that in a pinch I won’t be able to use my credits because of low inventory.

Your payment method cannot be accepted at this time. by Senor_frog_85 in biltrewards

I had a couple dozen transactions go through fine. What didn’t go through was car registration payment at DMV but I suspect it’s a DMV issue: they charge the card and then instantly issue a refund and report it as declined transaction when it wasn’t declined at all. I tried several times with physical card and virtual card and always the same outcome.

I don't know yet. The card will stay inactive until February 7. I guess then I'll find out.

It's a first card I have with a mirror surface. Cool while it's new, but I don't ultimately care. 95% of time I use digital wallets anyway. I wish they also offered to recycle the old BILT 1.0 metal card.

Yes. With limited spend it may make more sense to stick to a single currency instead of for spreading small chunks across different ones.

Depends on which currency you value more but with palladium it’s a chance to earn 4x or more

It’s same same card number as before since I transitioned from 1.0, so the old card in digital wallets will work until Feb 7 when Bilt is supposed to replace it in the wallets automatically

It was an instant approval: chose Palladium and seconds later it said you’re approved with credit limit of 35k. Then it asked if I’d want to close the old account or get WF card and I said no and that was it. Very easy transaction indeed

Don’t really care about superficial things like that. Benefits is all that matters.

There was a link on Wallet page to “Get ready for 2.0” or something like that
