前幾天 Bilt 正式公布了 Bilt Cash 的用法,複雜的很,這篇文章就來專門簡介一下。

什麼是 Bilt Cash
Bilt Cash 是Bilt推出的 Bilt Points 之外的第二套獎勵系統。Bilt Points 因為轉點夥伴很好(包括 Hyatt、JL、AS、UA 等)且經常搞很好的轉點bonus而備受歡迎,是 Bilt 的最大優勢之一。但是 Bilt Cash 這套獎勵系統,一句話總結一下就是沒那麼好用。整套系統搞的太複雜了而且兌換限制太多。但也有些特定情況下也許有點用。詳細的繼續往下看吧。
Bilt Cash 每年12.31過期,只能roll $100的 Bilt Cash 到下一年,所以如果獲得了就得抓緊用掉。
怎麼攢 Bilt Cash
兩種方式:
- 刷卡日常消費(即除了房租房貸之外)可得 4% Bilt Cash。
- 每攢 25,000 Bilt Points towards status,就自動攢 $50 的 Bilt Cash。注意這裡有個定語 「towards status」,就是說通過開卡獎勵之類的途徑攢的點還不算,基本上只能靠刷卡。

每個用法都有非常低的上限,還都是每個月給的,簡直喪心病狂!
不過其實某種意義上來說我也能理解這種設計的意圖。一張無年費卡能在幾乎所有消費上攢 4% 的獎勵系統,它還明面上要保證 dollar to dollar value,它要不是設計成難用至極,那這銀行要虧到姥姥家去了。
Bilt Cash 的推薦用法
個人認為那些$10/month之類的coupon實在是太令人頭大了,精力花在track這些東西上面,簡直像是打第二份工了。因此個人建議用下面這幾種方式去消耗 Bilt Cash:
1. 交房租房貸
在Bilt交房租房貸的文章里我們講到過,交房租房貸有兩個選項:第一種不涉及 Bilt Cash(選了這種方式那麼刷卡也沒有4% Bilt Cash返點了);第二個選項是消耗 $3 Bilt Cash 來獲得 100 Bilt Points,上限就是房租/房貸的金額(比如 $2,000 賬單對應最多消耗 $60 的 Bilt Cash 來獲得 2,000 Bilt Points)。
用這種方式,可以把不好用且年底就過期的 Bilt Cash 轉化為好用的 Bilt Points。如果你通過開卡獎勵等方式得到了 Bilt Cash,那麼這樣消耗掉就是最佳方式之一了。
2. Point accelerator 加速攢 Bilt Points
你可以選擇花 $200 Bilt Cash,來買刷卡攢 Bilt Points +1x up to $5,000 的權益。一年 up to 5次(即上限 $25,000 的消費)。
比較有意思的是,根據 4% Bilt Cash 的返點率,當你花掉了 $200 Bilt Cash、刷了 $5,000 的消費時,就又攢出來 $200 的 Bilt Cash 了。這時你可以花掉這 $200 的 Bilt Cash,繼續往後增加 Bilt Points 的返點率 +1x。有些朋友戲稱這是個「永動機」機制,其實有上限啦,不算永動。
如果你在吃飯或超市類別消費特別多,能刷到$25k,那麼 Bilt Obsidian 信用卡加上+1x的加成能在這個類別上攢 4x Bilt Points,攢點效率相當高了。如果你是「其他」類別的消費特別多,那麼 Bilt Palladium 信用卡加上+1x之後變成所有消費 3x Bilt Points,也是非常能打的了。
這個用法適合你的前提是,你真的有能力且有意願在Bilt的信用卡上刷很多錢。
3. 用來獲得更高的轉點獎勵
Bilt rent day 活動時經常搞轉點bonus,有時會出現很好的轉點夥伴和很高的 bonus。Bilt 官方說 Bilt Cash 可以用來買更高的轉點 bonus 比例,每次的價格和availability都會隨時變動。目前還沒有過這種活動,價格如何還不好說,等有這種活動的時候我們會在 Bilt rent day 活動頁面更新。
總結
Bilt Cash 這第二套Bilt的獎勵系統,搞的十分複雜,coupon book 實在太厚了,看的令人腦殼疼。建議大家在Bilt交房租房貸時選擇那一種不涉及 Bilt Cash 的簡單的方式。如果你非要選擇參與 Bilt Cash 的遊戲,那麼大概以下幾種消耗方式是我比較推薦的:交房租房貸;或用 Points Accelerator 增加刷卡返點率 +1x Bilt Points;或在 Bilt rent day 活動時買更高的轉點獎勵。
