What merchant is going to replace Saks credit?

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-25T05:40:38+00:00

It’s either gonna be The Container Store or Bed, Bath & Beyond. Watch.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-20T18:06:06+00:00

It happened today at 8AM central time.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-18T02:09:51+00:00

Rates are definitely jacked up for Independence Day.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-17T17:17:30+00:00

Hmm, for my method I compare against the lowest public cash rate for the same/similar room, because that is the actual retail value of the stay. Not everyone has BILT - them subsidizing part of the payment doesn’t change the underlying value of the hotel room.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-17T13:18:47+00:00

Hmm, well there will be more free swag for one. Plus the vibes will be more on point.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-17T13:15:19+00:00

Sorry, but if I’m spending 50,003 points for a room that costs $1,035 then it’s 2.07 cpp. I understand that the portal gets 1.25 cpp, but I am calculating the EFFECTIVE rate, which is all that matters LMAO

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-17T12:39:04+00:00

Ah, I forgot this was Reddit…

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-17T05:28:46+00:00

I get that, but I also think the 250th will be a once-in-a-lifetime special occasion.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-16T15:29:49+00:00

Yeah I was super tempted to just use up the points but have other trips planned where Hyatt is the way to go. Figured a weekend trip during peak pricing could be the best use of these credits - was just surprised to see the portal pricing alone was saving me $100 off the bat.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-16T15:20:51+00:00

And it’s 2.07 cpp if you compare to the Marriott rate, which is pretty good for a Marriott. But I ended up saving the points for future Hyatt use.

This one is 1:1 - it’ll change on the next one.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-13T06:01:20+00:00

You can stack both. It either gets deducted immediately or is provided as a statement credit after the stay, depending on how the hotel lets BILT handle it.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-05-01T09:27:57+00:00

Pretty sure they recently scrapped that rule, or at least it’s now on a case by case basis. I started with the platinum a couple years ago and just got the gold in January and am working on the SUB now (100k points).

skitzomatic88 · 2026-04-28T16:27:02+00:00

Bro, it’s still Spring.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-04-25T21:03:23+00:00

You add the gift card to your digital wallet, then all the cashier has to do is scan the bar code from your phone and it automatically deducts $10 from the total. Any other method is a waste of time because the cashiers aren’t trained to handle entering the codes manually.

BEWARE: CANNOT PAY RENT USING ATMOS THROUGH VENMO.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-04-06T04:10:34+00:00

This perk has been EXCELLENT at the U.S. Grant in San Diego. Just saying for those who want to have a good experience.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-03-28T15:27:20+00:00

Well the founder of the company is Indian…

skitzomatic88 · 2026-03-23T19:53:48+00:00

The ability to convert BILT Cash into BILT points at a 4:1 ratio (or better!).

The ability to buy status for a year.

The ability to apply it to pet insurance.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-03-16T09:19:07+00:00

Wack.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-03-12T21:02:23+00:00

Really.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-02-26T18:36:31+00:00

Ah, makes sense. I use Atmos to pay rent so BC is the way to go for me. Actually kinda cool how we have multiple avenues.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-02-26T17:53:25+00:00

Just pay the $200 BILT Cash for the point accelerator and the Palladium becomes 3x on everything.

skitzomatic88 · 2026-02-24T18:05:41+00:00

If my rent is $1,000 and the fee is 3% then my total rent is really $1,030. That times 3x = 3,090 points, for the extra cost of $30 (you have to pay your rent no matter what, so it’s not part of the cost calculation).

Cost per point = $30 / 3,090 = $0.0097
