                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've been doin' the math on the Palladium card and -- while I, too, initially felt this was a year-one-only card -- I've concluded that anyone with a modest mortgage + basic spend at least breaks even on the card.

The math:
- Assume a $2500/month mortgage.
- That requires $900 in Bilt Cash to unlock.
- $200 bCash is awarded at the start of each year, so that requires $700 more bCash.
- 700/0.04 = $17,500, or a ~$1,458 spend per month, which seems fairly moderate.
- The extra 30K mortgage points = $510 when you value Bilt points at 1.7 cents each.
- $510 &gt; $495 annual fee.  Using any of the benefits or taking advantage of the historically-generous points-transfer-promos = just gravy at that point.]]></content:encoded>
