The verdict

On a typical year of household spending, the Bilt Blue earns about $310 a year in rewards and the Capital One Savor about $484, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Bilt Blue has no annual fee, so its rewards are all profit. The Capital One Savor has no annual fee, so its rewards are all profit. Counting rewards and any credits, the Capital One Savor delivers more total value, about $124 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on groceries and dining. Both earn transferable points rather than flat cash, so the deciding factor is whose transfer partners reach the airlines and hotels you would actually book. On the sign-up bonus, the Capital One Savor 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.
