Built cash, couponization to the max.

With Built 2.0, Built introduced three new credit cards

and two complicated ways to earn points on housing payments,

and one complicated new rewards currency. That's built cash. And that's

what we're going to be diving into today. First, I do want to mention that while we're recording

this show, we happen to be airing an ad that was pre-recorded about built. It's a little awkward,

but we do not let the fact that we advertise for a

particular company change what we say about that company, and we won't hear. And that's only

for the audio version of the podcast. The YouTube version does not have that built ad.

All right. So let's talk about earning built cash. There are several

different ways to earn built cash. First of all, you earn $50 in built cash for every 25,000 built

points that you earn. And that can be any way you earn them, whether you're earning based on paying

rent or neighborhood merchants, etc. The built 2.0 credit cards each earn 4% in built cash for non-housing

spend. So whatever you spend on those cards for things other than mortgage or rent, you'll earn

4% back, but only if you select the built cash earning option. Remember, there are two different

systems for the new built cards, but if you've selected the

built cash earning option, you'll get 4% that way. And then the built card 2.0 welcome bonuses,

at least at the time that we're recording this, all include some amount of built cash. So the

built blue card includes $100 in built cash upon approval. The obsidian includes $200 in built cash on approval.
