- November 25th through December 1st cardmembers receive double earnings on all of their spend (rent is excluded and earns the regular 1x).
Earning rates for the bonus week:
- Dining: 6x points (regularly 3x points)

The Fine Print
- This promotional offer is valid from November 25th at 12am ET through December 1st at 11:59pm PT.
- The maximum amount of bonus points you can earn under this promotion is 50,000, regardless of how much you purchase.
- You will earn 6 rewards points (3 base plus 3 bonus) for every $1 spent on net dining purchases (purchases minus returns/credits), 4 rewards points (2 base plus 2 bonus) for every $1 spent on net travel purchases (purchases minus returns/credits), and 2 rewards points (1 base plus 1 bonus) for every $1 spent on net purchases of anything outside of rent, travel, and dining (purchases minus returns/credits), subject to the Bilt World Elite Mastercard Credit Card Rewards Program Terms and Conditions.
- Purchases not processed using the Merchant Codes for Mastercard mentioned above will not qualify for bonus points. Wells Fargo does not have the ability to control how a retailer chooses to classify their business and therefore reserves the right to determine which purchases qualify for bonus points. You must make at least 5 transactions in a statement period using your Bilt Mastercard to earn points, including bonus points for this promotional offer. It may take up to seven (7) days for bonus points earned through this offer to post to your account. To qualify for this promotional offer, your Bilt Mastercard account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. Should you receive points on an ineligible purchase, Bilt may deduct those points at its discretion.
- Cardholders who are currently earning points through the 5X for 5 Days promotion are not eligible for this promotion. Any category-specific or merchant-specific points promotion is also not eligible for double points on that specific category / merchant points accelerator.
Our Verdict
Excellent offer for cardholders. They are making the card more interesting as time goes on.

Does anyone know whether purchases need to post within that time frame? Or is it going based on purchase transaction date?
nope, just transaction. i’ve also noticed that the app immediately tells you what it coded as during your purchase (e.g. “You’ll earn 6x points at ****”)
I know this is an old comment but where do you see what the purchase coded as? I’m not able to find that in the Bilt app or on the Wells Fargo site.
If only the travel category was not so restricted. I’d actually keep this in my wallet 24/7.
It should be changed to cover travel similar to the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Amex Gold.
Those cards have annual have annual fees so I don’t think we’ll see it happen any time soon unless Bilt decides to create a card that has such. But I do agree with you that a more wide range travel category would be nice,.
@LK what are limitations for bilt’s travel category?
