FYI: The Strata can be upgraded to the PRESTIGE by calling the number on the back of Strata to determine eligibility. (according to Citi's website)

@tdogg8291 2 месяца назад

I think the real news will be that this rebrand sets it up nicely for when they introduce their elite card offering later. Hopefully it'll be a good competitor landing between a venture x and amex platinum maybe? 🤔

Doesnt the strata come with travel protection now?

@Smart_Think 2 месяца назад

Thing i like about bilt is they are trying new things and really more relevant than most other standalone card companies!

@jdawg7011 2 месяца назад

I wonder if it will have travel protections like the Sapphire Preferred? If not, there is no point in using this card for travel purchases over a card that includes those protections.

@IanMaschal 2 месяца назад

Perfect. I’ll be applying on the 16th.

I wonder what else there will be for the new strata card. My main question is the category gas or gas stations. If they downgraded the card for only gas purchases, that sucks

@srejeti007 2 месяца назад

My recent application (May 4th) to Citi Premier was not approved . However, I was told to wait for a communication from citi between 7-10 business days. I am keeping my fingers crossed to see if they would rather offer me a Stratapreimier instead of old card.

@hector-1810 Месяц назад

O.o ? That’s not how this works. Not approved means they will tell you in 7-10 days why they denied you. If you want a chance in getting approved, call the reconsideration line and ask what you can do to make them change the denial into an approval.

@ryangerrity2851 2 месяца назад

Adding EV charging multiplier is a smart move. I was planning to get the premier this fall and planning to get a Tesla soon as well. Works out nicely.

@boy_named_niel 2 месяца назад

THANK YOU! I was quiet applying for new credit cards for a year, but peaked interest with the Sapphire. I wanted a 3x back on Non-Amex purchases, but decided I can’t meet the spend requirement cuz I’m working on another bonus. BUT this video reminded me the bilt card exists, and I tried my luck. AND IT PAID OFF. All the credit learning, utilization, the hard credit pull finally led to a proper approval! $2500 CL!! So excited to go to Europe now and use at non-Amex places

@bennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 2 месяца назад

Most in the community were predicting that Strata Premier would be a straight rebranding of Premier.. and that's exactly what it is... Good thing is, I was waiting for an increased SUB on the Premier, so I can finally get a nice SUB and get the Strata at the same time

Why transfer to Hilton? Answer: top up and award availability. Hyatt has stiffed me on award availability a few times.

They could have at least made it a visa I was hoping they would add back travel protections. Still not a real travel card without that.

Chase raising their bonuses of the Sapphires to 75000 points shortly before the Strata Premier is released. It's almost like they might have had some insider knowledge what was coming from their competitor...

Shame on BILT. Amex is 1:2 Hilton. This redemption is rediculous and they should be ashamed. We lose their best redemption with AA and gain their worst. Hope this isn’t a trend.

@verafiedairman 2 месяца назад

I don’t agree. Atleast there’s continuity, it’s upto the redeemer to accept the value. Gives more reason for Amex point value over Bilt point value when comparing for Hilton redemptions, specifically. Do you agree Bilt should stop adding travel partners and focus on only top value transfer partners OR add as many travel partners as possible? The transfer rate is 1:1, but it seems that HILTON values their points near 0.5 cents per point for redemption. I agree that it’s a bummer that Bilt does not match Amex transfer rate; but for 5-10k points to top up to book travel isn’t terrible. Either that or pay cash to top off points for travel redemption.🤷‍♂️

@royce1510 2 месяца назад

@@verafiedairmanEven better you move your Hilton points to Virgin first and then to Hilton for a 50% bonus or a 1:1.5 ratio

@verafiedairman 2 месяца назад

@@royce1510 that’s useful, thanks. Personally, always preferred Hyatt. Have status and redeemed 200k+ points. Hearing about Hilton being devalued recently, but if I were to focus on their program I’d likely open and use the Amex cc even so. If only every credit card issuer had all partners, then you’d really be able to get more value by only having to focus on multipliers to maximize transferring points.

@noahknopf8561 2 месяца назад

Lol, missed the point how many catds transfer at a higher rate

@pkmachinegun 2 месяца назад

No I completely got the point. Just like any other hotel transfer vs Hyatt. My point is all the RU-vidrs push Hyatt because of the CPP value but they don’t go into depth about how little Hyatts footprint is. If you can’t book Hyatt because it’s not there, then the CPP is zero.

@TheCreditShifu 2 месяца назад

Its better to get Hilton points from the Hilton Credit cards and save transferrable points for better partners. Hilton Surpass card earns 3x on non-category spend and more on catelgories

@RC94332 2 месяца назад

Pretty disappointing news…

@pkmachinegun 2 месяца назад

@@TheCreditShifu this I can get behind. But for the vast majority who are going to miss American Airlines and those who don’t want to manage an annual fee, the bilt card might be huge to help fund a vacation. I’m not saying this would be my default redemption, but versus the hassle of trying to find award bookings on flights, I’ll take an easy shot with Hilton any day. The YMMV asterisk is huge with this, but the points are only ever worth what you can actually use them for, everything else is 0cpp.
