Happy Holidays everyone! This is a FAN VIDEO! Isn't this the time of year where we wish for great things to happen? Remember that we ask for the moon to ensure that we get something great! So relax, relax, I said relax, then subscribe for more fun videos🤣🤣
I'd do the same. It likely would cost more but it was more important for me to get the ideas out there and BILT can worry about the economics of how to make it all feasible.
Fan video. Bilt has indicated that groceries will be coming in 2025 but we do not have the specific details as yet! However, I see no reason why Bilt would block gift certs when purchased directly from a supermarket. I use 3 Citi Custom Cash cards and I max out $500 benefit each month by using giftcards only. I purchase Wholefoods and Trader Joe's gift cards each month and have never had an issue.
BILT Neighborhood looks great. For merchants that aren't covered something like Chase Offers would be great or a shopping portal akin to Rakuten if not card linked
VERY WELL DONE(had to watch this breakdown 3 times), this is crazy, Bilt is making itself the most flexible all-in-one card on the market( I LOVE THE PREMIUM OPTIONS), the 2/3 points on Groceries/Dining on a no af card is powerful, that just stopped me from getting the AMEX gold card and begging for Chase to do better with groceries.
Lewis, you have been away from the channel for a while it seems else you would have known that this is purely a fan video of my challenge to Bilt of what I'd love to see. Any numbers or multiple in this video is pure fiction. However, Gas, Groceries and Mortgage are official announcements made by Bilt with the specific details so of course I had to create a fan video to get them thinking of what fans like me would love to see. Naturally, I needed to make it a creative video 😊. Again, this is a fan video of wishful thinking!
@ reading the replies, it’s seems that almost of the respondents to your video missed the part about it being a fan video. I pointed out that it was a speculative video.
@@krs1905 To be clear, I'm not speculating in the video as to what's going to happen. It's really a pitch to Bilt as to some of things they ought to consider. The expectation would be for them to ignore the nums and consider the spirit of the benefits. I was hoping for folks to sound off on what they too would like to see adding in for 2025. To be clear, all I know is what you know in that BILT hopes to bring mortgage, gas and groceries in 2025. My video is to get them thinking of features that would delight us consumers but of course the card is not going to show a person's balance nor change colors. That's just pure fun 😂
So, what in the video is fact and what is fiction? I didn't realize that "fan video" meant, I'm making it all up...or, that this is just a wish list. The way he spoke all through out the video was that he "had a front row seat to the event" and "never been more excited for a new credit card to come out"...going on to explain. "I have the full scoop". "What's all the hype around Bilt 2.0?" "I want to inform you of the main take away...paid elite status".
Will I get the opportunity to reach the status achievement bonuses, if I pay the fast track from silver to platinum status!, like the gold and platinum status achievement bonus by spending 4K for each in order to receive the both bonuses of 50k points and 30k points!
You really should change the title of this video to make it more apparent that this is a "wants and wishes" list vs something that you're reporting on from a BILT Livestream. For all we know there was another live stream that we missed that released these details which makes this very confusing. Also if you're going to make these multiplier having a base multiplier for 2x and then +1x for grocery and travel along with +2x for dining makes more sense. Because what's the point of listing 2x categories if it's already a 2x card?
Happy Holidays! I tweaked the title. But folks need to get with the program that this is a Fan Video which I've made clear but thanks for watching and the feedback. So the card is NOT a 2x card. The proposal is that once you reach Platinum, you get 2x as a catch-all category. However, the additional multipliers for Grocery and Gas is dependent on the cards you add to your Bilt wallet and use for Groceries and Gas purchases. Additionally, using Bilt Neighborhood will get you the benefits whether or not you have Bilt Platinum status. Some of my recommendation are intentionally a reach like displaying balance and changing colors on the card depending on status. The message to Bilt on that one is to think outside the box and be creative.
1st I want to ensure that you're aware that this is a fan video that a message to BILT of what I'd like to see the card & program evolve into. Like with many loyalty programs, it resets Jan 1st each year. So yes, if you currently have Silver, you should notice that you non-rent spend has already reset to $0. You will need to spend $10K in 2025 to maintain Silver status for all of 2026.
This one is a fan video which means that it is what I'm telling BILT that I'd like to see. So no you cannot buy status with bilt at this time. But who know what bilt will actually do when they make updates to their program. Stay tuned to this channel where I will provide the official updates when they drop.
Putting aside my Fan Video message to BILT. I expect Rent Day to continue to be very important to BILT. It creates anticipation and keeps folks thinking about how to effectively use the card.
Question I know on rent day its 6x points…so if i eat at a neighborhood restaurant thats (3x) pts would that be a total of 9x pts per dollar? (Just got the card literally 2 days ago)
You've got it. It plays out this way, 3x BILT pts from neighborhood dining, 3x Bilt points on regular dining category + 3x bonus Bilt Pts for rent day. The last 3x bonus is capped at 1,000 pts. So the first $333.33 on rent day will net you 9x, after that, it will drop down 6x which is still awesome. Welcome to team BILT!!
Thanks for using my link. No referral bonus on declines, however, I'm more interested in you getting the card especially in time when Groceries, Gas & Mortgage are added to Bilt Neighborhood - and that's NOT fiction. Wells Fargo is very sensitive and annoying. If this card is on your planned acquisition list, you'll definitely have to lay low for at least 6 months. That's the boat I'm in because I really want the new Alaska Premium card that is due to drop this summer so I need to be on my best behavior regarding new acquisitions for the next 6 months.
@ it won’t remove it from dining cause the card is never added. You use your phone number and use what ever card you want at the pump. I’ve being doing it for years and it’s nothing is removed.
Happy Holidays! This is just a Fan Video on my message to BILT at to what I'd love to see added to the program and card at some point in 2025! We know that Bilt is adding more use cases to Bilt Neighborhood in 2025, namely Groceries and Gas. We also expect to earn points on paying mortgages at some point in 2025. We don't know the timing, the multipliers, or the specifics as of yet but we know that such updates are coming. Additionally, BILT has acknowledged that they have received feedback on what folks would like to see with a Bilt 2.0 card refresh but no commitment has been publicly announced on that end to my knowledge.
@@ImKeeday yes. You'd earn Bilt points plus the normal points on the card used to make the purchase as long as you have added the card to your Bilt wallet.
This is just a Fan Video on my message to BILT at to what I'd love to see added to the program and card at some point in 2025. The live stream concept was to created realism for BILT.
BILT has indicated that updates are coming regarding Gas, Groceries and Mortgage payments but there are no specific details. This is just my take, a "Fan Video", of what I'd like to see. Some as just funny asks to Bilt. When any of the details are made official, I will post them on this channel, and not in a fan video
Though this video is a fan video, Bilt has 100% confirmed that the Bilt mortgage feature is definitely coming in 2025. I referenced that in this real video ruclips.net/video/pzDwQ-54MjA/видео.html
Love the take on this R². I agree with EVERYTHING you mentioned. It would be really cool if Bilt hired you and added you to their staff that makes those types of decisions. I would pay that $395 SO FAST.. Cancel any other card i had. Lol. I'd rock Bilt 2.0 for EVERYTHING and just keep the Venture X for lounge, and rental car privileges.
hahaha, thank you for getting it. So many folks didn't get that the video was just a message to BILT as to the types of features us credit card enthusiasts would love to see. Of course I'm not serious about displaying a balance on the front of the card but the message there is for BILT to be creative and push the boundaries. Merry Christmas!
Isn't it better to pay $95 for gold, get 30k bonus, pay the $350, get 50k bonus for total 80k points? Isn't it worth $50 extra fee for extra 30k points? TGP 30k is $300-600.
@ groceries is a must for me to go all in. If it’s a true all in card, grocery 2x with the ability to go to partnered locations for even more… 🤌🏼 Then the catch all aspect of 2x on platinum. I would have no problem paying the $395 for all those benefits. I love my Venture X but it would take the back seat.
@@Xavier_ID. One earning points on Mortgage payments is launched. Folks are going to flock to this card! I just hope that Bilt rewards the OG card holders for sticking with them 🤣🤣🤣
Everything in life should be fun. Why not credit cards. I actually think that when we can turn it into fun, that's a big signal that it is no longer a source of stress. We know that we shouldn't carry balances nor pay fees and interest. Now we're just having fun.
I beg to differ. Fan videos are fun videos and they signal to BILT the kinds of interesting features we'd like to see. Bilt's ceo encourages everyone to send him feedback with ideas. So I felt that it would be more interesting to make a video with all of my asks. However, I recognize that I cannot please everyone. But I thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
@@RSquared-travel-rewards "Fan Video" is a purposefully vague term. The comments here make it clear that most folks don't realize that this is not based in reality.

Thank you for the detailed review of BILT 2.0. I like the option to obtain status in other ways. Hoping status will not be tied to neighborhood spend for those of us not in a big city environment.
Sorry to see you go. This is part 2 to a teaser video that it has been made clear that it's a fan video of what I'd like to see Bilt try to make happen. Even Bilt watched the teaser and commented that they can't wait to see what I come up with in the full video. I certainly can't please everyone but thank you for watching and your support while it lasted..
@ I’ll never make fun of BILT for doing what the card was designed to do, aka pay Rent and soon mortgages. But everything else is just them on their back foot trying to stop the money from bleeding.
@@L-Man-Gaming If the nums are accurate, Bilt went from processing $11B in 2023 to $36B in 2024 and is projected to process $72B in rent & hoa payments in 2025. They are now the exclusive payments platform for 70% of the top 100 property managers. I'm trying to be objectively fair and I doubt very much that the company is bleeding money. I on-board with them building out the loyalty part of the business which gives them legs and wouldn't have to be beholding to Wells Fargo. Just my 2 cents. I've seen many companies come and go but I think that they have a really bright future because of their disruptive nature.

I'd do the same. It likely would cost more but it was more important for me to get the ideas out there and BILT can worry about the economics of how to make it all feasible.
I want to see the “fine print” regarding grocery. Will they allow earning 2x on gift card purchases, or block it? Or have a points cap….
Fan video. Bilt has indicated that groceries will be coming in 2025 but we do not have the specific details as yet!

If you have your Shell Fuel Rewards rewards connected to American Airlines then you also earn American Airlines on every gallon you buy.
If you sign up for Shell, it removes that card from AA dining so you can't double dip. I wonder if it's the same here with Bilt.
