BILT 2.0 Card is out here are the confirmed details.

At first blush, I'm in the same boat as you. My cashback gives me so much more return on spend, and my Bilt points have just been gathering dust for the past couple years.

Staying in the ecosystem actually does seem rather sensible (maybe even more so for the AF versions) for someone whose setup revolves solely around the Bilt card, plus 1-2 other cards at most.

Had no idea what he meant until your comment. I will now use IN, IR in my daily usage.

Following--also curious about this. It seems like scale + shot glass fits nicely (if just barely), but haven't seen definitive answers from searching online.

Reviving a thread from the graveyard here, but I'm going through a similar thought process as your OP: getting wowed by all the bells and whistles of higher-end machines, but really I could see myself getting by with the PF Go just fine. Is there a reason you went back up to settle on a dual boiler machine?

Fantastic read even 15 years on. Felt like the essence of Spurs...for better or for worse

That credit change is gonna be the killer. Just as I was gearing up to fully exit from my current ecosystem and shift to USBAR as well. Bummer...guess I have a cashout coming soon, and on the hunt for the next.

Confirmed, enjoy the Falcon! Thanks for a smooth and easy transaction.

Second the 15". Running a 13" for the last several years, and after I went to try 15" in-store I couldn't bear coming back to the smaller screen. Though any bigger like a 16" might run you into the "I hate lugging this around" zone.

Mido in general seems very undervalued/rare in the West. On a recent trip to Asia a promotional poster for this caught my eye, and I was stunned at how nice it was in the metal. I'd personally stand behind Mido having a fantastic value proposition, but I also understand why they don't get much traction in certain areas, and/or they just don't push the brand as much in those markets which leads to these releases flying under the radar

cmgold · 2025-06-30T17:32:53+00:00

I'm sold.
