View From The Wing: "When the program launched they were with another bank, and launched with Wells Fargo in March 2022. Wells didn’t buy the back book. I suspect the lack of revolve by cardmembers – early adopters like me aren’t a super profitable bunch! – led to this decision."
"The legacy cards are being sunset December 31. Keeping a Bilt card means having to apply anew for the Wells product."
Legacy cardholders can apply for the Wells Fargo version of the Bilt card via the Bilt app. The application will be pre-filled and you'll earn 10,000 Bilt points for applying if you apply by August 31, 2024. You will receive the 10,000 Bilt points regardless of whether you're approved. Yes, this means a new inquiry on your credit report which means it will impact your 5/24 status with Chase (if you care about that).
You can use the legacy card until December 31, 2024.
