Use your Bilt card to earn 3 points per dollar spent on gas this fall
Editor’s note: TPG founder Brian Kelly is a Bilt advisor and investor.
As we look ahead to Labor Day weekend, many of us plan to hit the road for one last summer getaway.
Despite recently dropping a bit, high gas prices continue to plague travelers, currently averaging $3.87 as of Aug. 26 across the U.S., per data from AAA.
If you can't beat them, join them as they say, by using your Bilt World Elite Mastercard® to earn 3 points per dollar spent on gas through Oct.31.
The Bilt Mastercard is the first credit card that allows you to earn points on rent, with zero fees to boot.

Cardholders can qualify for this promotion by using their Bilt World Elite Mastercard® to purchase gas Aug. 25-Oct. 31, earning 3 points per dollar for each purchase, on up to $1,250 in net purchases, for 3,750 bonus points maximum.
For reference, the Bilt Mastercard allows you to earn 3 points per dollar on dining, 2 points per dollar on travel and 1 point per dollar on all other purchases.
To earn bonus points through this limited-time promotion, eligible gas or electric charging purchases include those made at gas stations, automated fuel dispensers and electric vehicle charging stations only.
Eligible bonuses do not include those made at warehouses or membership clubs, such as Costco or Sam's Club; grocery stores; car washes; auto repair stores or superstores. Participants must make a minimum of five transactions in a statement period to earn points. Find a full list of terms here.

Bottom line
Earning 3 points per dollar at the pump brings the Bilt Mastercard in line with other gas-friendly credit cards like the Citi Premier® Card which earns 3 ThankYou points per dollar at the pump.
If you want to earn valuable Bilt Rewards points, be sure to use your Bilt Mastercard for gas purchases through October to qualify.
