Bilt Card 2.0 was meant to be a bold reboot of the company’s popular rent-rewards credit card. Instead, after hearing real and reasonable confusion from members, Bilt is already pivoting on one of the most important parts of the program: how you earn rewards on housing payments.
At launch, Bilt Card 2.0 introduced a new currency called Bilt Cash and a layered system for unlocking points on housing payments that left many members scratching their heads (I tried to explain it here). While rent and mortgage payments could still be made without transaction fees, earning points required using Bilt Cash earned from everyday spending. In practice, the system felt more complicated than many expected.
