Editorial take: Bilt Blue

The no-fee entry tier of Bilt 2.0, launched February 7, 2026 by Cardless. Flat 1x earn (no bonus categories — those live on Obsidian and Palladium). Best for renters who want the no-fee anchor + full transfer partner access without paying $95+. The 5-transactions-per-cycle minimum from legacy Bilt is gone, and Rent Day still doubles everyday earn on the 1st.

Editorial take: Capital One Savor

If you care about dining and groceries, this is one of the best no-fee cards available. 3% on four of your biggest categories with zero annual cost is hard to beat.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Bilt Blue or Capital One Savor?
The Capital One Savor has the bigger bonus, $250 cash back, worth roughly $250, versus $100 Bilt Cash (~$100) on the Bilt Blue.
Is the Bilt Blue's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Capital One Savor?
The Bilt Blue has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Capital One Savor's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Capital One Savor's benefits to clear $0 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Bilt Blue.
Can I have both the Bilt Blue and Capital One Savor?
Yes, since they're from different issuers (Bilt / Cardless and Capital One) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
Should I get the Bilt Blue or the Capital One Savor first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Bilt Blue: $0 spend in 0 months. Capital One Savor: $500 in 3 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
