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 VentureOne

The no-fee version of Venture. The 1.25x vs 2x is a real earnings hit, so only use this if you absolutely won't pay any annual fee, otherwise Venture pays back its $95 quickly.

Can I have both the Bilt Palladium and Capital One VentureOne?
