The Points Tool You've Always Wanted

Bilt and Qatar Airways have launched a new partnership that allows members to pay rent with an eligible Qatar credit card and earn 3 Avios per $1 spent. Bilt charges a 3% fee for using co-branded airline cards this way, effectively letting you buy Avios for 1¢ each. This option is available for rent payments only, not mortgages. Since Avios are easy to earn through several transferable points programs (and transferable among all the programs), we would generally skip this unless you have a specific Qatar redemption in mind and can get meaningfully more than 1¢ per Avios. You can still pay your rent or mortgage with one of the Bilt cards, though there are also other rules in place for earning points with those housing payments.

Update: This is now officially over as of August 6, 2026. You can no longer get an elevated bonus for this card, even via referral link. The welcome offer for the Chase Sapphire Preferred is back to 75,000 points.

The highest-ever 100,000-point welcome offer on the Chase Sapphire Preferred ended publicly last week, but it remains available through referral links. We’ve added an eligible referral link to the card page, or you can apply directly here. Referral offers can disappear without notice, so it may be worth applying soon if you were still considering the card.

Walmart is offering $10 off pickup or delivery orders of $35 or more, up to three times, when you enter promo code FAST30 at checkout. The offer excludes alcohol and prescription purchases. If you're targeted for Amex's current offer of $20 back after spending $60 at Walmart.com, you can stack the two offers to save $30 on a $60 order (this can be done twice as the $20 off $60 is only offered up to two times). Walmart+ members, including those who receive the benefit through eligible Amex Platinum and Business Gold cards, can also take advantage of free delivery on qualifying orders.

Amex and Citi are both targeting some cardholders with offers for $75 back on Hertz rentals in the U.S. Citi's offer requires a single rental of $325 or more and expires August 31, 2026. Amex's offer requires $350 in cumulative spending across one or more rentals and expires September 30, 2026, although it is only valid at participating corporate-owned Hertz locations. If you're planning a Hertz rental, check both issuers before booking. Keep in mind that neither Citi nor Amex cards offer primary rental car insurance, so factor that into your decision if you have another card with stronger rental coverage.
