Bilt has announced a partnership with Lyft that involves:
- All members: Earn 2x Bilt Points on Lyft rideshare when you link your Bilt Rewards and Lyft accounts.
- Cardholders: Earn 5x Bilt Points once you’ve linked your Bilt and Lyft accounts, set Bilt as the active loyalty rewards partner, and use your Bilt Mastercard to pay for Lyft rideshare (this includes the 2x above)
If you link your Bilt account you won’t be able to earn points with other programs (e.g Hilton, Alaska)
Free hacking of your account with every ride!
I’m academically curious of the credit card earnings on “rent day.” I could see it being 5x, 2x+(3x*2) = 8x, or 10x.
The linkage setup is worse than the Hilton one.. keeps switching between the Bilt and Lyft apps infinitely and no updates at all. Will wait a week and then try to link again
So a worse option than the SavorOne 10% back on Uber rides? Yawn.
2 bilt points per dollar is a little better than the other options.
I would pay with chase for 5x and just link bilt for 2x
Mirrored my thought!
Another blow to the CSR for me.
Chase still comes out ahead here.
Bilt points can be earned without the CC. So you can link your Lyft to Bilt for the 2x and then the CSE to pay for the Lyft for 10x UR. Or Freedoms, Inks or CSP for 5x.
Definitely ahead – but lowers the allure of the CSR.
10 vs 3
5 vs 3 for the other UR cards
