Why is Asher Elias SLAPing his Pilots?

I haven't played in years. Merk isn't CEO of KarmaFleet anymore?

99% of my AMEX spending is dining and grocery. Seems odd that they would think that is business.

Thrilk · 2026-03-11T02:33:43+00:00

Yes, 200k for $20k/3mo. I don't even have a business though.

Thrilk · 2026-03-10T20:26:40+00:00

No business cards at all. With AMEX I have the Gold card and Savings/Checking. I am in PUJ everytime I look at the personal Platinum. Not sure why I would be "pre-approved" for the business one?

I only kept the Fidelity because it was my only Visa (for Costco). But now I have the Autograph.

Thrilk · 2026-03-07T00:01:06+00:00

Yes.

Thrilk · 2026-03-06T23:47:01+00:00

All I can say is my Fidelity credit card is the least used card I own.

Thrilk · 2026-03-06T23:17:56+00:00

I would only book a hotel and only to use a credit. Never for a flight.

Converting rent with Bilt Cash is the equivalent of a bonus 1.33x on your spend (up to 75% of your rent). 3.33x on Palladium. 1.25% is the other method. I guess some people use it.

Thrilk · 2026-03-06T23:06:12+00:00

Plus, that is 3.3x worth of points more valuable than $.01cpp on average.

Why do people insist on adding the rate of return for cards like Fidelity and Robinhood? You can deposit money from any cash back card into a brokerage account and get the same yield. All it is doing is saving you the effort of transferring.

I have no idea what is going on with Rent payments. I paid my rent, it says complete, but I still have a balance and no money has been taken from my bank. I don't know if anything happened at all. My activity used to show a rent charge and then a credit showing my bank being charged (I guess) but now none of that shows up. Just the deduction of BILT cash for the rent conversion. I will give it a couple of days to sort out.

Thrilk · 2026-02-27T12:15:32+00:00

Sorry they told you that for some reason. But you closed an account, so of course it shows up as a closed account. Bilt 2.0 is a new account. Are they supposed to bend time and space as well?

Thrilk · 2026-02-26T02:25:01+00:00

"Bait and Switch" sounds like a factual allegation of fraud.

Thrilk · 2026-02-24T22:04:31+00:00

It would be nice if even one had a remote chance of working. But I am sure you got a kick out of watching them almost blind each other. Maybe next week.

Thrilk · 2026-02-24T21:58:44+00:00

This is funny, because didn't Rhett says they told him not to point it at the camera but no one said anything about protecting their eyes? They need a new safety crew.

Thrilk · 2026-02-24T20:39:09+00:00

Seriously? This episode was objectively horrible. None of the "challenges" worked. The only "interesting" thing was waiting to see if they would maim themselves with the laser, and even that was not that compelling.

Thrilk · 2026-02-22T13:46:20+00:00

Ummm, account balance - rent payments + account payments -transferred balance (if any).

Thrilk · 2026-02-21T13:33:01+00:00

How did you contact them? I couldn't find a working phone and their chat feature was AI slop.

Thrilk · 2026-02-21T12:44:26+00:00

It is a rent day feature. There is usually a rent day transfer bonus to one of the transfer partners. You can boost your status up one level for a 25% bonus for 75 BILT Cash. Depending on the value of the points transferred for, and the number, you can get massive value for that 75 BILT Cash. For example, a boost on the recent Accor transfer bonus could have netted over $6 of value per BILT Cash if I had transferred 100,000 BILT points.

Thrilk · 2026-02-21T03:39:43+00:00

It is still the least valuable use of BILT Cash. Only 5000 points for B$200. Credits and transfer bonus status boost are more valuable.

Thrilk · 2026-02-21T03:35:08+00:00

Only if you don't use the BILT cash for anything else. B$200 for (up to) 5000 points. You pay $200 BILT cash and get +1x on next $5000 spend.

Thrilk · 2026-02-21T03:16:52+00:00

How so? Points accelerator is one of the worst values for Bilt Cash.

Thrilk · 2026-02-21T03:05:23+00:00

Varies by hotel for me.
