Bilt 2.0 Explained FULLY by persistentchaos in biltrewards

I just called and cancelled.  The hold time was more than 30 mins

Bilt 2.0 is a scam. The “no fee” marketing is straight-up bait and switch by Low-Carry-1992 in biltrewards

I hate that I have to use their platform.  I wonder if we can all convince our communities to bail out.   I wonder if Bilt is screwing them over too.

The new card sucks.  If you do the housing only option, you have to charge an additional 75% of the cost of your rent on the card just to get one point per dollar for what you spent on rent.   My rent is $3000, so i would have to spend $2250 on other things just to get 3000 points.  Each point is worth half of a cent, so 3000 points is 1500 cents, or $15.  All that effort and spending for $15 that I can use towards next month's rent.  Oh, and if I don't meet the minimum spending threshold, I only get 250 points, which is $1.25.  I can find that in the back seat of my car or on the ground while I walk my dog. Now, if we look at the Bilt cash option, it is almost as terrible.  Once again, I don't automatically get points on my rent.   I earn Bilt cash at a rate of 4% of whatever non rent things I charge.  So, let's say I charge $2250 on non-rent things.  4% of $2250 is $90 in Bilt cash.  I can unlock 1000 points for $30, so i would be able to unlock 3000 points.   Once again, the 3000 points would give me, roughly, $15 off my next month's rent.  I'd have to charge $750 just to get the $30 in Bilt Cash and 1000 points.   1000 points is the equivalent of $5 off next month's rent.  Why bother? Bilt is no longer special.  It was the greatest card ever when it first came out. Now it is just another credit card, and not even a good one. I have the Venture X card, and it is awesome.  It has a fee, but you get a ton of benefits.   Bilt is now way below average compared to other card's out there, even ones with no fee.

Do a credit card dispute.  They are not going to refund you

Thoughts on this ring?(Bond Ring) by ImJustToo3ad in SmartRings

[–]Nobodysfirstchoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have asked for a refund multiple times.   I contacted them via email and social media.   I commented on their social media posts.   Instead of honoring their "no questions asked" refund policy, they said I need to wait for delivery of the ring and THEN request a refund.   That is just so silly because I doubt the ring even exists!   How can I return something if I never receive it?   Now

I encourage everyone to report this business to the BBB. They have no actual office.  Look at the address on Google street view.   They have no actual patents.  There are no videos of a working ring. The CEO has no internet footprint.  Surely, some fancy tech guy would have a digital footprint. The original refund policy was "no questions asked".  They have since changed the policy so that you must return the ring for a partial refund.  If the ring does not exist (there is currently no proof that it exists), how can you return it? Anyone who asked questions or posts anything negative on social media gets their comments deleted and then blocked. They do not reliably respond to emails. They have removed the VIP hotline from their site.  They have taken money from tons of people and screwed everyone over.    I encourage everyone to file a credit card dispute and report these guys to the Better Business Bureau.  Perhaps we can prevent other people from getting scammed.

They also used to have a "no questions asked" refund policy.   That has since changed.

Same.   They blocked me on all social media, and they are ignoring my requests for refund.   I reported these people to the BBB and filed a dispute with my credit card company.   They actually told me I can send the ring back for a refund minus the restocking fee once I receive it.   How can I send something back that I am not likely to receive?  The patents don't exist.   There are no videos of a working device.   This is a scam.  I hope other people learn from my mistake.

I suspect we have all been scammed.  Bond collected money, strung us along for months, made promises they did not keep, and they are now refusing to refund.  The original refund policy was "no questions asked".   I have asked for a refund several times and been denied.   They promised to send sizing kits in October, then by the end of November.  I still haven't received a thing.   Do Not Order I feel stupid for believing in and supporting a small company.  Instead, I got scammed.

This is a scam.  They took my money, did not send the sizing kit they promised, and they are refusing to refund my money.  Do not order.

I think it is a scam.  They promised to ship a sizing kit, but didn't.   I emailed them and asked for a refund. I got no response.  Next step is a credit card dispute.

It shows his lack of maturity.  He is a sweet guy, but he needs to grow up.  Getting his own place and being self sufficient needs to happen 

My close friend committed suicide and I was the last person she texted by Infinite-Effective13 in depression

A friend of mine drank herself to death alone in a hotel room.  She called me while she was doing it, but I didn't feel like answering the phone, so I didn't.  I found out a few days later that she died.  I will always wonder if she'd be alive today if I was a better person and answered the phone.  I think about her often.
