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: World of Hyatt Credit Card

The anniversary free night at a Category 1-4 Hyatt easily covers the $95 fee, even a Category 1 Hyatt Place clears it. If you stay at any Hyatt once a year, this card pays for itself.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Bilt Blue or World of Hyatt Credit Card?

Is the Bilt Blue's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the World of Hyatt Credit Card?
The Bilt Blue has no annual fee, so the question is whether the World of Hyatt Credit Card's $95 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the World of Hyatt Credit Card's benefits to clear $95 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Bilt Blue.
Can I have both the Bilt Blue and World of Hyatt Credit Card?
Yes, since they're from different issuers (Bilt / Cardless and Chase) 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 World of Hyatt Credit Card first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Bilt Blue: $0 spend in 0 months. World of Hyatt Credit Card: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
