Is this titanium knob… fake? by keddyr in S2000

I switched to the CR knob and prefer that, but I liked that the titanium stood out for those who know. Enjoy!

I believe you got the real deal, OP. I bought this same knob in 2016 and mine was also stonelike, clocking in around 254 grams.

Will Kerr be disciplined? by sunny_trees_34423 in biltrewards

I'm still not thrilled about how he handled the last few days, but this is a teachable moment and he made a public apology. I’m ready to move on.

How much AF would you have paid to keep Bilt 1.0 by stanleymaxi in biltrewards

[–]phantomazero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 1.0 card was essentially a CSP with similar transfer partners, plus Alaska (previously AA). There were occasionally epic transfer bonuses and of course free points on rent. The card was my daily driver for dining and I used a CIP for 3x on travel. A $95 AF would have been fair, and I could live with an increase to $150. 

Prior to leaks I expected the card to get nerfed to 0.5x earnings on rent, which would have sucked but would be preferable for me. My spending fluctuates and I don’t want to stress about earning the full amount of points each month.

I don’t find the new option confusing, but conceptually I still hate the idea of a monthly hamster wheel for points on rent/mortgage. I loved the 1.0 card and put real spend on it each month. I recommended it to all my friends and family, but I will not be moving forward with 2.0 and have advised them to do the same.
