The Bilt Mastercard is a card that allows users to earn cashback on rent payments, among other categories. The WSJ recently reported that this cashback was actually being bankrolled by Wells Fargo, who is reportedly losing tens of millions of dollars per month. Bilt’s contract with Wells Fargo ends in 2029.

This market resolves NO if the Bilt Mastercard either 1) ceases to exist 2) significantly changes their core business model (for example stops offering rent payments) or 3) significantly alters their services such that a significant portion of their users leave (for example charging a $1k annual fee). I’m also open to hearing other arguments as to why the market may need to resolve NO. Otherwise resolves YES.

I will not trade on this market.

@eliot News for your judgment.

Bilt to Hyatt transfers changing from 1:1 to 4:3 in January - The Points Guy

Bilt members will soon need 33% more points to get the same number of World of Hyatt points. Here's what's changing on Jan. 1.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the moderators will have to take over for this one if @eliot does not return. That sell ping in the above comment was me closing my position out.

I'll try to not trade on this further as I think I am very well acquainted with Bilt as one of their customers, and this might have to be a vibe check.

With the new cards, you can no longer actually charge rent to the card. You can earn points paying rent via Bilt, but you must pay via ACH. This is in addition to having a completely different structure for earning points from rent, two of them now.

A note from Ankur Jain - Bilt Card 2.0: Simple, Fee-Free Rewards on Housing - Bilt

Bilt Newsroom is the source for news about Bilt. Read press releases and get updates on the latest at Bilt.

Do the changes they announced today not constitute a major change to the program? All existing cards will be converted to standard Wells Fargo cards or cancelled, with existing cardholders being given the opportunity to apply for a new card from a different bank with different perks and features, albeit without a hard pull.

I forgot I wrote "I will not trade on this market." and did trade. I've now sold my shares. Sorry about that.

Mixed this up with my market. Disregard my last comment lol

The first domino has toppled with this previous Rent Day being the last one with Point Quest.

So long free 250 Bilt points.

bought Ṁ50 YES

Would you count a termination of Rent Day, in whole or in part, as a NO criteria?

Hm I don’t know. Rent Day doesn’t feel like a primary function of what makes the Bilt card unique / good value for most people, but rather an additional bonus. Curious to hear other opinions though.

While I can't speak neutrally now that I have a YES position, I would probably agree. I think most people came for the 1x on rent payments, not for Rent Day.

Rent Day was amazing when the Curve Card "Go Back In Time" "God Tier Trifecta" exploit was a thing, though. My gosh, those were fun times.
