Bilt Obsidian Card

A rewards card that earns points on rent or mortgage payments, with extra points on dining and grocery.

Кому подойдёт

This card fits you if your rent or mortgage is your biggest bill and you'd like to earn points on it. The Bilt Obsidian earns points on rent or mortgage payments plus higher points on dining and grocery. The annual fee is $95. Most cards either can't be used for rent or charge a fee to do it, so this is a rare way to get rewards on your biggest monthly expense.

Кому лучше не брать

Skip it if you don't pay rent or a mortgage, or if you don't plan to use Bilt's points program. If you just want cash back, a flat 2% card or a grocery card may be simpler. And as always, if you carry a balance, interest will cost more than any points.

Как получить максимум

Set up your rent or mortgage payment through Bilt so you earn points on it. Use the card for dining and groceries, where it earns more. Check Bilt's site for the current earning rates and any spending requirements, since Bilt's card lineup is fairly new and its terms can change. Pay in full each month and compare redemption options before you use your points.
