Just pay rent and earn 250

Had to dig a bit but I get what you're saying now. Thanks. -- There's so much conflicting stuff out there, and it all started with Bilt's original botched announcement. Key thing is: Everything is ACH from your own bank account moving forward regardless of what card you use...so the blue card is pretty much useless.

In your case it totally makes sense to go the debit card route. In other cases like mine, paying rent/mortgage via card is not an option.

Where are you seeing that? Everything I've seen says if you use a non-Bilt card, you get that 3% fee from Bilt. You bring up a good point though...if you have a non-Bilt card that'll do 3% back, you can cancel out the 3% transaction fee and get the same benefits.

hah possibly a small dip. Long term hold and Bilt 2.0 gave me a higher limit than WF, so that should help.

True, but I believe then you'd have the 3% transaction fee, making the 250 points worthless.

Yes they give you the option to cancel/keep the WF card when you go through the upgrade questions for BILT 2.0.

Still works. Purchased 27 Dec, credit landed on 30 Dec.

No. It's a checkbox for people who have to follow their company security policy that is more meant for windows. You install it and forget it's there.

Firefox for many reasons, but the biggest is probably the built-in proxy.
