    Editorial take: Bilt Obsidian

    The headline tier of Bilt 2.0, launched February 7, 2026 by Cardless after the Wells Fargo era ended. Strongest for renters who eat out (or buy groceries) and use Lyft. The $100 hotel credit pays back most of the AF if you stay 2+ nights anywhere on the Bilt Travel portal. Pair with the no-fee Blue if you want a no-AF anchor too.

    Editorial take: BJ's One Mastercard

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Bilt Obsidian or BJ's One Mastercard?
    The Bilt Obsidian has a public bonus ($200 Bilt Cash, worth roughly $200), while the BJ's One Mastercard doesn't advertise one right now.
    Is the Bilt Obsidian's $95 annual fee worth it compared to the BJ's One Mastercard?
    At $95/yr, the Bilt Obsidian is in the mid-fee tier. Compare its specific perks (lounge access, travel credits, primary rental insurance) to the BJ's One Mastercard's, pick the one whose perks you'll actually use.
    Can I have both the Bilt Obsidian and BJ's One Mastercard?
    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 Obsidian or the BJ's One Mastercard first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Bilt Obsidian: $0 spend in 0 months. BJ's One Mastercard: 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.
