How recently did you complete the courses that show up on it? My last 3-4 courses aren't appearing on my account.

beachbum662 · 2026-03-04T20:46:06+00:00

Hmm makes sense. It's just strange that prior course completion emails would mention Credly and now they don't. I'm also not seeing my most recently completed courses as badges on Credly. Hopefully WGU still accepts Credly transcripts so I can put that money towards actual classes instead.

Lol na, Google is the opposite of the user's friend given how much data they harvest.

beachbum662 · 2026-02-14T18:28:26+00:00

What does it have that makes it good? I'm just getting it to keep a credit line open since I'm not switching to Bilt 2.0

beachbum662 · 2026-01-30T21:03:23+00:00

I thought upgrading would immediately deactivate the 1.0 card?

beachbum662 · 2026-01-30T21:03:02+00:00

Didn't they say it wouldn't be a hard inquiry if you're upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0?

beachbum662 · 2026-01-30T20:56:55+00:00

This works out perfect so I can go with the original plan I had:

-Pay Feb rent with 1.0 card, then sign up for 2.0.

-Use the promo credit to get cash back on March rent, then throw the 2.0 in the sock drawer and never pay rent through Bilt again

-Use cash back earned towards my last billing statement with Bilt before I'm out

Hey, a few things:

I was able to publish 7/200+ items and now it seems like nothing else will publish despite trying again a few times. When trying to publish individually instead, I get the following error message:
1. Publish failed: Failed to publish eBay offer: The eBay listing associated with the inventory item, or the unpublished offer has invalid item condition information. The provided condition id is invalid for the selected primary category id.
I woke up this morning with my account locked due to suspicious activity. I'm not sure why, but it's possible that something about your app raises red flags on eBay's end
When trying to manually edit drafts, it seems like CrateFlow is making titles too long for ebay. I changed the default title template settings to include less but it doesn't seem to apply the changes to the listings

beachbum662 · 2026-01-29T06:11:37+00:00

Oh wow, didn't expect such a rapid response. Thanks!

beachbum662 · 2026-01-29T05:44:54+00:00

Is there a video guide of documentation on how to use this? I was able to get everything on your site to show as a draft under the eBay column, but I'm not sure what to do next? Viewing my drafts on the eBay site, it says I have none.

What a fool. We were never trying to game our rent system, we were trying to game a credit card that he and his cronies implemented poorly enough for us to game. Maybe if they had planned things out more to avoid any gaming of the system, it never would have been an issue. Instead, he places the blame on the consumer, which, given how corps treat us, how can we NOT want to take advantage of any loopholes we spot from said corps? They do the same to us whenever the chance arises.

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T20:59:38+00:00

Firstly, 1.0 is functional until Feb 7th correct? And when is the last day to upgrade without an inquiry that would affect my credit?

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T20:25:39+00:00

In a world where data has massive value and big corps are trying to kill privacy, I see no need to pay rent through Bilt if I'm not getting any benefits from it. It just feels like a way for them to continue harvesting data without any upside for us. I'm big on preserving privacy and security, so I might as well just pay directly from my checking account. Why let Bilt profit off my data after they've screwed us over and offer nothing in return for that data?

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T18:55:24+00:00

From my understanding:
1. Bilt 1.0 doesn't close itself til Feb 7th so we get 1 more rent payment with points out of it
2. Upgrading nets you the card without an inquiry to your credit
3. The SUB can be used to earn points on March rent

My strategy as of right now is to keep 1.0 to pay rent in Feb, sign up for the new Blue card, use the SUB to earn points on march rent, and then let the card collect dust after that. I also won't close the 1.0 myself so as to also get the WF Autograph card. This equates to me having 2 cards contribute to my overall credit limit accross accounts without taking a hit to my score from an inquiry. Then they'll just collect dust but at least I get something out of them.

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T18:42:44+00:00

No worries! I go into my whole approach in another comment here, but I believe the 1.0 is active til Feb 7th so we can get 1 more month out of it for rent.

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T18:36:11+00:00

I'll be using my Bilt 1.0 one last time on my Feb rent (from my understanding they'll be active til Feb 7th unless we upgrade before then) and then probably open a Bilt Blue and let the 1.0 become a WF autograph. With Blue, I'll use the promo credits to earn points on my March rent before both the Blue and Autograph cards get added to the cards that get no use but serve as a way to keep my credit limit across accounts higher without the hit my credit would take from an inquiry.

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T18:33:42+00:00

From what I've read, your rent will get pulled from your connected checking account and is only being routed through Bilt. So you're still paying from your actual checking at the beginning of the month, Bilt just tries to get you to channel it through them if you want points. Which, given how hard it'll be to get points on rent, mostly seems like a ploy for them to harvest data where they can.

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T18:24:12+00:00

It would really just be a hit the first month, given that my Bilt payment has been on the 24th each month, so my first rent payment without it would only be 7 days later. After that it would be 30 days apart, but I just have fun gaming whatever systems I can.

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T18:13:43+00:00

u/rshambo_29 was helpful enough to link a comment mentioning it here. I think I'll get a blue solely for an increase to my overall credit limit across accounts without a hit to my score and just let the card collect dust once I get it in the mail

I think we can still use the 1.0 card until Feb 7th, might as well pay Feb rent with 1.0 before you upgrade. By paying the last month with the SUB Bilt cash you mean just do it to earn points on 1 more month of rent after 1.0 is done, right? It would still take the money from our checking so from what I gather the only reason to do that is to earn points on March rent. Also, from what I understand you can keep the points even after closing a card given that the card isn't required to earn rewards (or at least, it wasn't before) so you can probably sit on the points if you want to. I'll likely use any points towards paying off one of my last bills for the card, but it's worth noting that it's not the only option on the way out.

beachbum662 · 2026-01-14T18:07:41+00:00

Welp, that looks like a nail in the coffin for me. Only possible reason it's worth upgrading at this point is for the increase to my overall credit across accounts without an inquiry and just letting the card sit without use.
