I put in a credit card application for Bilt and they want address and id verification via fax. They really want me to send a fax apparently

Most of my documents are virtual now, and I don’t have a fax machine. I see that on Google play there are a variety of apps for sending faxes. Is this a good option to go through? Or should I print stuff and find a library with a fax machine

    Bilt is backed by Wells Fargo I’m pretty sure.

    I just threw up in my mouth a little.

    Surely those raging asshole scammers at Wells Fargo wouldn’t back an untrustworthy organization. (This was sarcasm. I believe they have before, and will again.)

    On getting points for rent, you’ll find that many law abiding organizations don’t allow it, under debt swap laws.

    Using points to encourage people to put a large critical expense such as rent, on a high interest rate credit card - is (correctly) considered unacceptably predatory, even in most modern capitalist dystopias.

    My recommendation is be very alarmed, and flee from this plan.
