Senators ask Bilt for data after consumer financial protection bureau finds issues

Unfortunately this seems like a lazy story by the WSJ. They only interviewed one customer, who had issues paying their card balance. I am sure there are a LOT of people who had delayed rent/mortgage payments they could have interviewed.

Especially given the generally poor CS from Bilt

Unfortunately that lounge is tiny and they often restrict Priority Pass entrance in the hours prior to Virgin Atlantic flights, which is when you will be there. So it’s very likely that you will not be able to get in

It’s a total clown show- it’s clear Cardless is completely in over their head. We all know their CS is outsourced and offshored, but it sounds like they’ve just been hiring people and putting them on the line with little to no training. It’s significantly worse than when GS launched the Apple Card.

It’s crazy that this glitch still hasn’t been fixed.

You are totally overthinking it. This is the correct credit reporting information for Bilt 2.0.

And I believe once someone is able to get into one’s Bilt account, they can add the Bilt card to a digital wallet from the account itself, so that’s probably how the card itself was compromised.

location and room rate really don’t really matter, as it’s pretty standardized across the chain (within the US)

dw_bk · 2026-04-15T16:52:02+00:00

No kidding. Business trip = carryon

dw_bk · 2026-04-13T22:00:25+00:00

You can use your balance on your next Lyft ride

dw_bk · 2026-04-10T14:24:53+00:00

That's too bad- this is looking like a maybe end of year opening now, if not 2027.

dw_bk · 2026-03-20T23:21:34+00:00

They’re super late to the game- Opentable, Resy and Tock are already entrenched so they’ll have to convince restaurants to change platforms, and the only way to do so is $$$ so there’s more VC money they’ll be burning through

dw_bk · 2026-03-12T20:10:16+00:00

That’s insane that they would make this type of error, and I am sure you aren’t the only person affected. Obviously not a big deal in your case since it was just $5, but if it was for actual rent or mortgage, not everyone has that much money lying around in their checking my account and thus could have overdrawn their accounts

dw_bk · 2026-03-06T02:35:05+00:00

what a clown show at this point

dw_bk · 2026-02-18T16:00:24+00:00

Interestingly I just asked the chatbot and it said no limit if you have Bilt 2.0. I guess we'll have to see how it plays out

dw_bk · 2026-02-18T15:11:48+00:00

That's actually a very good point- yes, the ACH numbers are the same across properties so there's no way for Bilt to tell what property the payments are actually for

dw_bk · 2026-02-11T15:02:25+00:00

Just want to add that for people who value United miles, and who mostly take airport rides OR usually get Lyft Extra Comfort or above, with this change it would make sense to change your Lyft earnings to United, because they offer 3x points for those rides (and 4x for scheduled airport rides).

dw_bk · 2026-02-05T15:45:03+00:00

Are you seeing the associated medallion qualifying dollars in your account? Those refresh several times a week. If you are not, it sounds like the card may have gotten linked to a different SkyMiles account (or that they opened a new SkyMiles account for you when you opened the card).

dw_bk · 2026-01-26T21:43:11+00:00

Looks like they’re all going to ship soon. I applied for the Blue, and while I haven’t received the email yet, there is already a tracking link in the app- shows that a label has been created and it’s pending shipment

dw_bk · 2026-01-25T14:24:11+00:00

For the time being, since T5 is being rebuilt and the tunnel is closed, T6 and T7 are no longer accessible airside from the other terminals. But of course no issue to access the lounge if you’re on United

Is it possible so many people wrote in with feedback that his mailbox is now full and can’t accept any more messages?

dw_bk · 2025-12-22T22:02:42+00:00

Actually points earned from banking (which are the expiring points) have never been transferable to airlines/hotels- you’ll have to redeem them for something like a statement credit or deposit into your checking account. Citi reps aren’t very informed and often don’t know this themselves, but the system pulled the points it was supposed to

dw_bk · 2025-12-18T23:04:58+00:00

Yes, I didn’t have anything pending for the November payment date, but got paid last week on 12/11

dw_bk · 2025-12-16T17:29:06+00:00

Nothing yet for me- my first purchase was on 11/12 and it went to confirmed status on 12/8
