If you already own the BILT card or thinking of owning the card, I've just come up with a way for you to automatically get 1 more BILT transaction each month. Join this channel for .99 cents a month and use your BILT card to make the automatic monthly payments. I've just made your life simpler so supporting this channel just makes sense right? 😂😂 Watch me on Ben Hedges' channel: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qIiCyNaLadzHe7A.htmlsi=ZeQKcyvYV7U5ry4s. But you must promise to come back and help give my little channel some visibility. We're all about points stacking and getting tons of value out of credit cards.

Thank you so much for such valuable information!

Bruh… I LITERALLY can’t handle how dope you are! I’m brand new in the game and learning SO MUCH from YOU. Praise all day!

This channel has been around for 12 months and just got to 1,800 subscribers. I often wonder if I'll be able to make a dent in this crowded space. However, whenever I get a comment like yours, it says to me, just keep pushing because there are folks who are getting value. Thanks for the support and be sure to share videos to help grown the channel.

Thanks Richard for the several reviews you provided on this card. You turned me on to it. Thought you deserved the referral bonus. Just used your link to apply and got approved. Should be Gold in 2025. Thanks again.

My Bilt card destroys my Amex Gold card. I can go to any restaurant and use the Bilt card to get baseline 3x on dining, upwards of 12x with stacking (2x rent day, 2x transfer bonus). I can use it with confidence knowing Mastercard is accepted almost everywhere. Meanwhile, Amex Gold touts its 4x dining multiplier, but I've only had around a 50% acceptance rate at restaurants in my area. Most of the affordable family owned restaurants cannot stomach Amex's high transaction fees.

I'm in big cities when in the U.S. so I have 100% acceptance rate for the Gold card. However, BILT is officially my dining card because of the elevated transfer bonuses. It would be insane not to use this card for dining. However, whenever I'm not running my 3 Citi Custom Cash cards for supermarket spend, I use my Gold card so the Gold card continues to hold value for me.

The strategy still works regardless. If you don't live in a BILT Dining city, Silver status will still transfer out at 12X.

First, let me say that I love the content and delivery. Being able to get the deeper analysis on the BILT product is uber valuable in being able to truly unlock this card. That being said, the rocket fuel behind this card (BILT Ding) is slowly getting diluted. I'm in the Dallas area, and I've watched several restaurants I enjoy decay from 10x to 8x down to 2 and 3x. It's really unfortunate that BILT is doing this. Not to mention, I recently had 1 BILT Dining restaurant simply not report my transaction to BILT at all. I was able to claim the points, but it took a lot of emails and about 10days. I love the program, but i wish we could get some stability within it. Keep up the awesome work 👊

@RSquared-travel-rewards

It's going to be much harder to earn Platinum status this year for next year because of the updates. Platinum status is now achieved by either spending $50k in non-rent spend OR earning 200K points in the calendar year. Earning points from rent is limited to 100K points per year so you will still need a good amount of non-rent spend to achieve platinum status.

Can you also talk about the Bilt Silver Status? When I computed my non-rent spend, it would just amount to 1,000/month or 12,000/ year. My rent is also 995/month so points from that is not enough as well. My non-rent spend above already includes the following: grocery 500/mo; gas 100/mo; dining 200/mo; misc 200/mo. = 1000/mo. Is it worth moving my grocery and gas to bilt if I am just silver status? I do have some occassional spend like car insurance, renter's insurance, medical, subscriptions that I did not add up to this but still won't reach 25,000 usd a year.

@@sarayuchaverah8630 First off, please note that it resets Jan 1st so I would recommend that you 100% use BILT as your rent and dining card. Then on rent day, I would use it for your catch-all spend. Bilt points are some of the most valuable points out there so it is always valuable to stock up on Bilt points. If you're now starting out, and it is mid year already, I would just use the categories mentioned above and start shooting for silver status starting January.

@RSquared-travel-rewards

My experience with Amex is that it is all about monthly spend. If you spend enough with them, my experience is that they really don't care what you do. However, I'm a fan of acquiring the card that you want before cancelling an existing card. It is also my experience that pop-up jail on the personal side is independent of the business side. 3 months ago, I was seeking a 2nd Hilton Aspire which resulted in pop-up jail then I went on to open 2 biz card with them that same week and was eligible to receive biz card bonuses but was still in pop-up jail for the Aspire. So I recommend that you get your new card before cancelling if possible. If you're not putting much spend on either personal or biz then don't be surprised if pop-up jail result. However, it quickly goes away once you increase your spend.

It's easy to justify a $0 AF card that at blue status, which everyone gets, offers a 75% boost when transferring points out to partners. So if you own you home AND you don't live in a BILT Dining city, the card still works. You're better off putting large ticket items like education, taxes, insurance etc on the BILT card on the 1st of the month because that will quickly elevate you to Silver status ($10K).
