Our commitment to transparency

The Points Guy believes that credit cards can transform lives, helping you leverage everyday spending for cash back or travel experiences that might otherwise be out of reach. We publish editorial content and card reviews to help you find a great card to turn your goals into reality.

We may earn compensation when a customer clicks on a link, when an application is approved, or when an account is opened with our partners. This may impact how or where products appear. While we don’t cover all available credit cards, our editorial team creates and maintains our analysis of cards. Editorial content is not influenced by nor subject to review by any credit card company, bank or partner prior to or after publication. Read our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information.

Read the full review

Pros

  • Earn up to 1.25 Bilt Point per dollar spent on rent and mortgage payments
  • 3 points per dollar spent on grocery (up to $25,000 per year) or dining purchases
  • $100 Bilt Travel Portal hotel credit ($50 biannually per calendar year)
  • Welcome offer upon application approval
  • No foreign transaction fees

Cons

  • $95 annual fee
  • Category caps apply to bonus earnings

Who is this card good for?

This card is a strong fit for members whose spending centers around dining, groceries and travel and who don’t want to pay the annual fee of a premium-tier product.

Earning rewards

Cardholders earn unlimited up to 1.25 Bilt Point per dollar spent on rent and mortgage payments, bonus points in select categories and Bilt Cash on everyday purchases (as long as that is the selected earning option; each Bilt Cash award expires 12 months after you earn it, on the last day of that month). Rewards can be transferred 1:1 to over 20 airline and hotel partners, redeemed within the Bilt ecosystem or applied toward future rent or mortgage payments.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2027, new Bilt cardholders will only have access to the housing-only rewards option. Cardholders who open an account by Dec. 31, 2026, can retain the 4% Bilt Cash earning option by opting out of the new benefits before their first card anniversary.
