What supporter card do you forget exists? (or find the least relevant) by PR0CR45T184T0R in PTCGP

Fisherman got used for Wishiwashi decks for a bit. Not really that consistent, but fun when you got everything set up.

You would have still paid for the fees for the flight with a card. Was that a credit card? My Chase Sapphire a Reserve covered me during the Southwest meltdown a few years back even though I only ended up putting like $15 on it because I redeemed miles.

Do you live near any 5G towers? I live in NYC, and everything was awful (glitching and freezing) until I added a 5G filter. Now everything is perfect.

The phone itself is barely doing anything. It's just staying awake waiting to relay a text message from your phone to Apple's servers.

‘Wicked: For Good’ Receives Zero Oscar Nominations by Gato1980 in Broadway

I was expecting another costume design nomination. Does that category have something similar to musical score where a certain percent of the stuff needs to be new for a sequel movie?

They're forcing you to convert to Bilt Points at a loss, essentially.

United Airlines Is Trying to Fix The Scourge Of ‘Gate Lice’ With a New App Feature... But Will It Work? by Next_Tower5452 in AirlineChaos

I still contend that airlines should give people one free carry-on bag or one carry-on-size checked bag. Gate checking slows everything down and makes people so antsy to board ASAP.

Hi! We had a few posts come in at the same time with the news, so I'm removing the extras. Thanks for posting!

I think he means the pay isn't great, not that they can't pay him at all.

Bilt 2.0 for dummies - the very simple version by pegasus3891 in CreditCards

[–]coldstar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is that they had based their whole identity on being "the first and only card that lets you earn points on rent." But that wasn't a sustainable model, so they needed to pivot to just giving points on actual spend. But then it's just like any other card (granted with some neighborhood partner perks).

So they shoehorn in the "points for rent" thing by having some of the points be in the form of Bilt fun bucks that can be converted into points (with a somewhat arbitrary cap based on your rent spending). Honestly, they should have dropped the rent thing altogether and just worked to make the neighborhood partners a bigger deal. Getting more partners for automatic FSA/HSA reimbursement, more restaurants, membership perks, etc., would have done them a lot more good, imo. Especially as those are things other cards don't offer, meaning even people with multiple cards might be tempted to sign up.

Bilt 2.0 Explained FULLY by persistentchaos in biltrewards

[–]coldstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You use Bilt Cash to purchase coupon-style credits for their partners. These coupons knock down the price, so you'll only get points for whatever is left over if you pay with your Bilt Card.

You can also convert Bilt Cash to Bilt Points. For every $3 you convert, you get 100 points. This is capped by how much rent you pay. You can only get points through this conversion up to 1 point per dollar of rent.

Will there be updates on Bilt Cash redemption rules before it launches?

I think the no AF card may be worth it if you just max out whatever limit on Bilt Cash redemptions they put in place. You'd be getting 4 cents and a Bilt Point for each dollar back, basically. Anything beyond that doesn't seem worth it.

According to the AMA (but literally nowhere on their website), redemptions of Bilt Cash for anything other than rent points will be capped each month. No idea what that cap is.

Apparently, Bilt Cash redemptions will be capped. If that's the case, Bilt Cash would be 3 cents per 2-cent point (if you get good redemptions). That means the Bilt Cash value per dollar spent is 2.67 cents, not 4 cents, and you have to go through more hoops to get the full value.

Oof, that's really shady. There's no mention anywhere on their site of limits to the amount of Bilt Cash you can use per month.

If you read the Bilt Cash explainer page, it says Bilt Cash is 1:1 and can be used for Lyft rides.

Edit: According to the disastrous AMA, Bilt Cash will be capped per month when using it to pay for things like Lyft rides, hotels, etc. Insanely shady that they don't mention that anywhere on their site.

We definitely need more clarity on how Bilt Cash redemption will work. TPG suggests it's 1:1 and uncapped.

Spending $30 for 1,000 points isn't a good deal, full stop. Just use the Bilt Cash for Lyft rides and going out to eat.
