The Highlights
Bilt Rewards are quickly becoming valuable in the points and miles world, but only if you’re a renter.
- Earn up to 100,000 points in rewards from your monthly rent payments by putting it on the Bilt Mastercard
- There is no annual fee or extra charge for doing this as Bilt acts as an intermediary and sends a check if your landlord doesn’t accept credit cards or charges a fee for using one
- You can then cash those points in for high value redemptions
- Bilt has an impressive array of transfer partners that rivals Chase and American Express, so you can turn that rent payment into free airfare and/or hotel stays pretty easily
What to Know About This Point System
You can join the Bilt Rewards program for free and earn points on your rent payments as long as your property is in the Bilt Alliance Network (2 million units in the US are part of their network). If you join and pay rent through the app or website, you will earn 250 points per rent payment, once per month.
If you want to supercharge your points earning with Bilt, though, you will have to open the Bilt Mastercard. Once you do this, you will earn 1x points on your monthly rent payments (up to 100,000 per year), 3x points on dining (up to 5x if you dine at a Bilt Neighborhood Dining Partner), 5x points on Lyft rides, and 2x points on travel purchases. Regarding rent, the thing that makes Bilt unique is that even if your landlord doesn’t accept credit cards (or charges a fee to pay with one), you can pay rent via check or ACH and still earn 1x points for doing so.
Note that you will have to use your card for five purchases every month to earn points, so don’t just use it for your monthly rent payments.
How to Redeem
What to Know Before Canceling
You won’t lose your Bilt points if you cancel the Bilt Mastercard, but you won’t be able to transfer those points to its partners without the credit card. We see no reason to cancel the card, particularly if you still have points. If you have since bought a house and no longer have use for the card since you’re not paying rent, make sure you use the points before canceling the cardRanking of Cards Offering Bilt Rewards
