Who Should Get the Bilt Palladium?

The Bilt Palladium fits people who spend most on rideshare (4x). Its $495 annual fee makes sense if the $600 a year in credits Creddy lists, plus what you earn, covers it with credits you would use anyway.

Is the Bilt Palladium Worth the $495 Annual Fee?

The Bilt Palladium costs $495 a year. Creddy lists 2 trackable credits worth up to $600 a year if you use every one, $105 more than the fee. You break even once you use about 83% of that credit value, so count only the credits you would use anyway.

Check enrollment requirements, merchant restrictions, reset timing and the issuer's current terms before applying.
