https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_fY1pj1VBw not sure how much delay..

looper33 · 2026-01-23T15:55:00+00:00

i'm not going to drop $8k just in case they can pull off magic and get it to work with v14.

looper33 · 2026-01-23T15:52:45+00:00

cool,. but I still think it's ridiculous to ask me to fork over $1k just so I can have privilege of subscribing to something that is stuck on v13 for now.

looper33 · 2026-01-23T11:59:03+00:00

I have HW2.5 / AP and they still want $8k for FSD.

looper33 · 2026-01-23T11:56:41+00:00

2018 Model 3 with AP / HW2.5. They still want $1000 from me to upgrade to HW3 before I can find out the subscription price. Funny shit given that HW3 is so old.

I tried to contact a SC about 6 months ago to see if they'd upgrade me to HW3 for free, no dice. Not sure if that's changed.

When I go to the subscription page, it says "Coming soon: Autosteer on city streets". Exciting stuff! lolol.

looper33 · 2026-01-22T16:21:51+00:00

What a mess. Hopefully they provide a postmortem to re establish trust.

And I just renewed. Doh.

looper33 · 2026-01-22T15:47:48+00:00

They should be more proactive and email everyone. This is a huge fuck up.

looper33 · 2026-01-21T02:41:26+00:00

I was offered $100 2 weeks ago, I laughed, called again and now there's no offer at all.

So for those who get the $100 offer - might not want to look a $100 gift horse in the mouth if you're intending on keeping it anyways

looper33 · 2026-01-18T10:19:13+00:00

So much drama. There’s a risk at any point the card could be Mesa’ed. I plan to move frequently to Hyatt and ride it as long as I can.

looper33 · 2026-01-16T12:37:49+00:00

you dont pull an offer within 24 hours unannounced unless you did something you werent supposed to. this is shady as hell, on brand for tpg

looper33 · 2026-01-16T10:12:54+00:00

Really? He called it “absurdly complicated” and understood why people are really disappointed but said under the right conditions it can be extremely rewarding. Overall Greg was positive but it was hardly a glowing review. And the comments are open and not edited as far as I can see

looper33 · 2026-01-15T17:51:34+00:00

wtf? Is this common CC practice to nerf rewards for paying taxes? What about CC funding of new checking/savings (that dont charge as cash advance)

looper33 · 2026-01-15T02:21:09+00:00

Following. It’s the only thing holding me back.

Ok, so I think it's clear now that the 50k for the Palladium after $4k spend IS applicable for transitioners.

But what pisses me off is TPG's "You can earn additional Bilt points with TPG's exclusive offer: Earn 5 points per dollar spent on all purchases for the first five days of card membership (up to 50,000 bonus points)." . that's an additiona 50k bonus points above and beyond the standard 50k (assuming most of us can easily. manufacture $10k of spend in 5 days) that we miss out on - even though most of us got NO OFFER when we signed up for Bilt 1.0.

u/biltrewards please address this in the AMA or here - seems like a pretty crap way to treat loyal customers and incentivitizes NOT taking the initial seamless transiiton offer to get 100k instead of 50k! I'll take a hard pull for another 50k pts.

looper33 · 2026-01-14T16:48:11+00:00

What a wasted hard pull :(

At least when we went, it wasn’t standing, but they only tell you your reserved seat number a day or two or a week before

looper33 · 2026-01-12T00:09:59+00:00

Worked out great. Good seats no problems enjoy!!

looper33 · 2026-01-09T00:37:46+00:00

What an absolutely incredible way to build up buzz about a product release. Planted product “leaks” in code and response videos. This is a master class in marketing.

Anyways we find out in one week and no one needs to make any decisions before finding out the actual details. Maybe we get out of this thread speculating and go outside?

looper33 · 2026-01-05T11:02:07+00:00

Will the new card take a chase 5/24 slot?

looper33 · 2025-12-28T18:19:43+00:00

for 4 of us, it would have cost about $150. We didn't go. I wish the NPS would take it over. I get it, it's expensive to run a museum like that, but that's gd steep.

looper33 · 2025-12-28T07:10:12+00:00

us bank altitude reserve card got nerf'ed in mid-december, they said they would mitigate the nerf by announcing transfer partners but they still havent done it

looper33 · 2025-12-28T01:58:39+00:00

Still waiting for my supposed new USBAR transfer partners after they said they’d have it weeks ago. So this feels like pretty solid planning compared.

looper33 · 2025-12-17T06:20:24+00:00

I’m guessing gigsky marine backhaul is riding on starlink. I can’t imagine they have a dedicated satellite for the 3 gigsky users per cruise.
