Editorial take: Bilt Palladium

Bilt 2.0's top tier ($495 AF), launched February 7, 2026 with Column N.A. as issuer and Cardless as servicer. A flat 2x everyday card that stacks $400 of Bilt Travel hotel credit, $200 of Bilt Cash a year, and Priority Pass with 2 guests. It does not have Obsidian's 3x category, so it wins on credits and lounge access rather than on multipliers. For Bilt loyalists who use the hotel credit and the lounges, the math works; for everyone else, Obsidian is plenty.

Editorial take: Capital One Venture Business

Capital One rebranded Spark Miles for Business as Venture Business in April 2026. The current public offer is 100,000 miles after $10,000 in 3 months (the launch-window tiered up-to-150k offer has ended). Strong catch-all 2x earner with transferable points; the Capital One transfer chart (a transfer partner, Flying Blue, Turkish, Virgin Red) makes 2x meaningful.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Bilt Palladium or Capital One Venture Business?
The Capital One Venture Business has the bigger bonus, 100,000 miles, worth roughly $1,650, versus 50,000 Bilt Points + $300 Bilt Cash + Bilt Gold status (~$1,125) on the Bilt Palladium.
Is the Bilt Palladium's $495 annual fee worth it compared to the Capital One Venture Business?
At $495/yr, the Bilt Palladium is in the mid-fee tier. Compare its specific perks (lounge access, travel credits, primary rental insurance) to the Capital One Venture Business's, pick the one whose perks you'll actually use.
Can I have both the Bilt Palladium and Capital One Venture Business?
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 Palladium or the Capital One Venture Business first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Bilt Palladium: $4,000 spend in 3 months. Capital One Venture Business: $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.
