If you’re looking for a loyalty program ideal for renters, Bilt Rewards is a solid option. As a member, you’ll earn Bilt Points when you pay rent and make your regular everyday purchases. The points you earn can be redeemed for travel through loyalty partners, rent or future down payments, fitness classes, and more.<\/p>\n

Plus, there are no transaction fees (see rates and fees<\/a>) on rent payments when you use the Bilt Mastercard\u00ae<\/a><\/span>. You can earn up to 100,000 points on rent per calendar year.<\/p>\n

We’re celebrating the Bilt Mastercard<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a>) for winning the Best No-Annual-Fee Travel Rewards Credit Card award at the 2024 TPG Awards<\/a>. This card is a powerhouse for renters, who can earn valuable Bilt points on their rent payments with no transaction fee. You must make at least five transactions on the card every statement period to earn points (see rewards and benefits<\/a>).<\/p>\n

While we love this card, you don’t need to have it to earn and redeem points in the Bilt Rewards program.<\/p>\n

TPG’s May 2025 valuations<\/a> place Bilt points at 2.05 cents apiece, though there are plenty of ways to get more value from them. Let’s delve into all the details of the Bilt Rewards loyalty program and explore how to earn and redeem points for maximum value.<\/p>\n

You can earn 1 point per dollar spent on rent at any home (up to 100,000 points per calendar year) by paying your rent with the Bilt Mastercard.<\/p>\n

You can pay your rent with your Bilt Mastercard through the Bilt app, but if your landlord only accepts physical checks, don’t fret. You can still pay your rent with the Bilt Mastercard on the app, and then Bilt will mail your landlord a rent check each month, allowing you to earn points on rent without incurring any additional transaction fees (see rates and fees<\/a>). If applicable, you can also process payments through Venmo and your landlord’s online rent portal.<\/p>\n

As of April 2025, you can now use a credit card that isn’t a Bilt Mastercard to pay rent, though it may not be the best option. If you use a Visa, Discover or Mastercard, you’ll earn 1 Bilt point per dollar spent on rent<\/a>. Using an American Express card, you’ll earn 1 Bilt point for every $2 spent. However, you’ll incur a 3% transaction fee with this route.<\/p>\n
