Bilt Card Overhaul Leaks Point to Three Tiers With New Rent-Payment Requirements

Reporters describe code-based details as unconfirmed ahead of a Jan. 14 reveal following Bilt’s break with Wells Fargo.

Overview

  • Community code scrapes and reporting indicate a three-card lineup at $0, $95, and $495 annual fees with distinct rewards and perks.
  • Coverage cites a shift away from Wells Fargo toward Cardless and American Express as Bilt prepares the new portfolio.
  • Leaked mechanics suggest rent and mortgage payments would no longer be truly fee-free, with transaction costs offset using earned Bilt Cash.
  • Analyses of the leaks indicate cardholders may need roughly 75% of their rent amount in monthly non‑rent spend to avoid rent payment fees.
  • Rumored features include 4% Bilt Cash on everyday purchases and tiered extras such as hotel credits and Priority Pass, with pre‑orders slated for Jan. 14 and a Feb. 7 launch subject to change.
