Episode notes
Bilt Cash Replaces Simple Rewards
- Bilt 2.0 replaces simple points with a new currency called Bilt Cash that complicates earning and redemption choices.
- Bilt still supports transferable points to many airline and hotel partners but Bilt Cash adds heavy couponization to the ecosystem.
Plan For Year-End Expiration
- Remember Bilt Cash expires at the end of each year and only $100 rolls over.
- Plan redemptions before December 31 to avoid losing value.
Use Bilt Cash To Unlock Housing Points
- Redeem $30 in Bilt Cash to unlock 1,000 Bilt points on housing payments (roughly $0.03 per point).
- Use this if you already pay rent/mortgage through Bilt and want to boost point earnings.
