Ratings and reviews

Signed up for the card. I'm paying rent, so may as well get the points. A bit wary after hearing about the fraud charges and the logistics of getting a check mailed. That said, the 3 star review is here because I don't think having the website tell you to use the app is an appropriate workflow. Anything that can be done in a MOBILE app should be done on the web first (imo).

App has definitely improved over time. It's good for every day use of checking balance and points and paying bills, but it can require a lot of patience to use the Bilt Travel portal, since it will bug out, crash, and/or reset your booking progress at random. It's convenient to have this app if you have a Bilt credit card, since it can be a bit of a process to get registered all over again on Wells Fargo.

The problem that I see is that the rent wallet pay is high, and the alternative, Bilt Mastercard, has a higher than average APR. Also, Bilt wants to know too much of my bank info. The fee to pay through Bilt from the wallet feature is $9.99, and my apartment website charges $2.50 for bank account payments (higher for cards). I can think of Bilt like a subscription service, but the fee seems too high for the benefits. Credit pts. may be months off, and 250 reward pts. don't feel worth it.
