The verdict

On a typical year of household spending, the Atmos Rewards Summit earns about $352 a year in rewards and the Bilt Palladium about $583, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Atmos Rewards Summit charges $395, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The Bilt Palladium charges $495, but carries about $600 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Bilt Palladium delivers more total value, about $432 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and groceries. The bigger difference is the ceiling: the Bilt Palladium 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 Palladium 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 Atmos Rewards Summit if your spending leans toward dining. Pick the Bilt Palladium if your spending leans toward groceries, gas, travel.
