Bilt
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- If you rent, Bilt is the best travel card. You get points on rent, no foreign transaction fees, great transfer partners, and 3x on dining and 2x on travel.
- Bilt. It transfers to United, so it counts for something.
- Bilt: rent, transfers to Hyatt.
- I do recommend Bilt for rent. It has a lot of the same travel partners as Chase, so it compliments well. Plus, dining rewards for additional points at eligible restaurants.
- If you rent, BILT looks great.
Cons
- Wait on the BILT card. There's currently no SUB and you might want to see how the revamp looks
- Other ecosystems like Amex and Bilt are much less friendly to cash back
- And it's only worth it if they have any transfer partners you're interested in, because the cashback rate for the points is pretty bad
- Bilt's pause is definitely a bummer timing-wise.
- The reason for Bilt is purely if I can get any reward for the rent payment because it’s a significant chunk. ... That’s not really the priority but just a thought.

Amex BCE and Bilt are a good combo together as they cover a lot of common multipliers.
Parent context: Bilt is absolutely not worth unless your rent is over 5k a month. Trash suggestion. Reply: My rent is not nearly 5k , and for renters it's pretty much the only option. After a year of use I have 60,000 some points that I can use for travel or down payment . Half of that is rent, other is miscellaneous, travel and dining.
