The Offer

Our Verdict

New Palladium card comes with Gold status if you spend $4,000 in the first three months, not sure how long that takes to trigger. Can also use Bilt cash to upgrade status ($200 to upgrade one tier). 

These transfer bonuses are the best times to use Bilt points and one of the rare occasions when a speculative transfer can make sense.
