With luck on his side though, he suspected he could get the card and get over 100K Aeroplan miles in just a matter of days. Greg thought he was insane, but Nick's gamble paid off. (02:48) - What is Bilt and why was Nick interested?&amp;nbsp; Learn more about the Bilt card here.&amp;nbsp; (03:16) - What was the Bilt bonus that finally got Nick's attention?&amp;nbsp; We published  those transfer bonus details here.&amp;nbsp; (04:25) - Nick outlines the challenge in his timing, applying for the card ~6 days before the scheduled transfer bonus opportunity with lots of things to get done in that time. (06:39) - Nick discovered he still needed to make 5 transactions on his new card, which he was able to do with the digital card he'd gotten upon approval. (08:45) - Nick got lucky and the card arrived early (with one day to spare), and right around then he also got the email for a 5X offer... (10:11) - The second dilemma: in order to maximize the 5X for 5 days of spend he'd need to spend $12,500, which was more than the card's credit limit.&amp;nbsp; To read Nick's more detailed account of this, make sure and read his &quot;How Nick Built his own Bilt bonus&quot; post here. (12:42) - Nick breaks down his ~$18K in spend which landed him with 62K Bilt rewards which then became 124K Air Canada Aeroplan miles. (15:02) - Nick remembers the points-pooling ability in Air Canada Aeroplan. (16:06) - Greg and Nick talk about how gambles like this can play a significant role in this game.
