Just an FYI that they reworked the Bilt Mastercard rewards program and it's a bit more interesting now for a $0 AF and no FTF card:
- 1X general and rent
- 2X travel (air, hotel, car, cruise)
- 3X dining
Plus various coverages not usually seen on free cards these days, like 6-hour flight delay compensation, $800 cellphone coverage, purchase protection.
Interesting transfer partners like AA, Hyatt, Turkish.
Not incredible, but solid for the AF-averse crowd and, of course, those of us based in Israel where $0 AF no FTF xferable points cards are rare/nonexistent. If only it offered 1.5 or 2X base, might have even made it my daily driver and ditched the Barclays Arrival Premier.
At any rate, I pulled the trigger due to the novelty factor and good feelings about their potential to constantly improve the program as they seem to have pretty hands-on management.
