The verdict

On a typical year of household spending, the Atmos Rewards Summit earns about $352 a year in rewards and the Bilt Obsidian about $490, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Atmos Rewards Summit charges $395, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The Bilt Obsidian charges $95, but carries about $300 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Bilt Obsidian delivers more total value, about $588 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on groceries and travel. The bigger difference is the ceiling: the Bilt Obsidian earns points you can move to travel partners for outsized value, while the Atmos Rewards Summit stays locked to a single airline or hotel program. Favor the Bilt Obsidian if you will use travel transfers, the Atmos Rewards Summit if you want simplicity. On the sign-up bonus, the Atmos Rewards Summit currently has the larger welcome offer (a limited-time offer above its usual amount, so treat it as a one-time boost). A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.

Pick the Bilt Obsidian if your spending leans toward groceries, travel.
