So you are telling me that the card that got famous for paying rent and apparently now mortgages...

NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast

you don't want me to pay rent or mortgages with this card.

And just to be clear, we talked about this last week on the show, but built cash is a different currency than built points.

So already, I think these made-up bank currencies are very confusing.

The number of people who have said to me, what is a United Mile worth?

Bilt Card 2.0 and the Points Math: What’s a “Good” Return in 2026?

I would be a United millionaire if they asked me that.

And I got a United Mile every time they asked me that.

frames it themselves.

Yes, because also we have to account for the fact that these cards have annual fees.

So you are

paying potentially huge annual fee to get that over 7% return.

We will talk about these cards, their benefits, and their annual fees after the break.
