Editorial take: Bilt Blue

The no-fee entry tier of Bilt 2.0, launched February 7, 2026. 1X base earn on everything else, with 3X on Lyft, up to 4X at Bilt dining partners, and 3X hotels / 2X flights through the Bilt Travel portal. Best for renters who want the no-fee anchor plus full transfer partner access without paying $95+. The 5-transactions-per-cycle minimum from legacy Bilt is gone, and Rent Day doubles everyday earn on the 1st up to 1,000 bonus points.

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, $200 cash back, worth roughly $200, 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 (Column N.A. 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.
