Editorial take: Bilt Mastercard
The only card that earns points on rent with no fees. Pair it with Rent Day on the 1st of each month for bonus earning, then transfer to top partners like Hyatt at 1:1. A must-have for renters.

Common questions
- Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Bilt Mastercard or Chase Ink Business Premier?
- The Chase Ink Business Premier has the bigger bonus — 100,000 points, worth roughly $2,000, versus No public offer (~$0) on the Bilt Mastercard.
- Is the Bilt Mastercard's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Chase Ink Business Premier?
- The Bilt Mastercard has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Chase Ink Business Premier's $195 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Chase Ink Business Premier's benefits to clear $195 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Bilt Mastercard.
- Can I have both the Bilt Mastercard and Chase Ink Business Premier?

- Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Bilt Mastercard: $0 spend in 0 months. Chase Ink Business Premier: $10,000 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.
