Issuer Rules

Rules: The Bilt Mastercard from Wells Fargo has specific eligibility and bonus rules. Applicants must be 18 years or older (19 in AL/NE), a U.S. resident, possess a valid SSN or ITIN, and have good to excellent credit (typically FICO 670+). Sufficient income to support the credit limit is required. Wells Fargo is sensitive to recent credit inquiries and new accounts, generally preferring applicants to not have opened too many new accounts recently. A key bonus rule for the Bilt Mastercard is that a cardholder is eligible for one sign-up bonus per card every 15 months. This means if you've received a bonus on this specific Bilt Mastercard within the last 15 months, you will not be eligible for another.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (MS), rapid application for multiple Wells Fargo credit products, high cumulative credit limit across all Wells Fargo accounts relative to income, unusual spending patterns inconsistent with declared income or typical card use, defaulting on other Wells Fargo products, abuse of rewards programs, or negative banking history with Wells Fargo.
