Bilt Palladium Card

A $495 premium card that only maths out if you use Bilt Travel: the $400 hotel credit + $200 Bilt Cash exceed the fee on paper, but both push you into the portal. Flat 2X everywhere plus rent earning and Priority Pass make it a genuine CSR/Platinum alternative for renters — skip it if you won't book portal hotels twice a year.

Current public offer

50,000 Bilt Points + Gold Status (after $4,000 in 90 days, excluding rent/mortgage) plus $300 of Bilt Cash at approval after $4,000 spend in 3 months — as of 2026-07-01 · source
