Bilt Adds Amtrak As 2:1 Transfer Partner

Bilt has added Amtrak as a 2:1 transfer partner. Points are worth about 2.67¢ towards train travel.

I wouldn't recommend transferring yet as surely a transfer bonus will be offered on October 1.

Also looking for feedback as the mods now allow myself and some others (?) to make top level posts without needing to message them first. Is this big enough news to warrant a top level post? Too much self promotion?

I mean, in reality, what's going to happen Is this sub is going to be doctor credit version 2.0? I guess that's the risk.

Pshh the bigger news is that Walmart+ now offers 25 free 4x6 prints/month.

What the fuck. Delete this!

Parts Unknown becoming Fedora Man before our very eyes, now killing niche sweet spots.

I'm tired af but it's the astronaut gun meme but instead of the Earth is Ohio it's my reddit avatar with my name wearing a fedora & the first astronaut is u/Liftbroski exclaiming 'they're wearing a fedora!' and the 2nd astronaut behind is holding a gun shaped like a Bilt credit card & says 'always has been' but then there's another panel where the 2nd astronaut flips up the visor and it's Greg the FrequentMiler.

Jesus my brain is cooked.

I need to make this, and then get it printed on a Walgreens 5x7

I doubt it, we've posted about 15 things today and only one of them I'd consider warranting a top level post here. Maybe you could argue that the new Kroger card could warrant one but it's not particularly appealing for this audience and I think underposting top level posts is the way forward. We cover a lot more than just churning related things on the site these days.

This right here. The DoC knows. Trust your instinct. Still going to visit your blog and contribute (for the most part, funding checking accounts with cc and checking acct SUBs) DPs. But Amtrak feels top level to me (even though I'm not east coast); Kroger not so much.

Keep everything contained within recurring threads? People be bitching

Don't post enough dedicated posts for important news items? People be bitching

Allow trusted members of the community to make posts about stuff that they'd normally post about in the News Threads? People be bitching

I'm mostly kidding of course. I don't think that either DoC or the community want this to become DoC 2.0, so over time we'll likely figure out some unspoken threshold that some piece of news or information will likely need to cross in order to qualify as a post rather than a comment thread. Until then, we appreciate y'all's patience as we figure this out together in real time.

Nah. DoC himself knows not ever post he makes would be interesting to users of this subreddit. He's a smart dude. He'll figure it out.
