The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Bilt Blue earns about $498 a year in rewards and the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ about $666, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent.

Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Bilt Blue delivers more total value, about $460 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it skips the annual fee the other charges. 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.

A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
