Bilt recently announced that their credit card rewards program has added rent as one of the rewards categories and that rent can be paid fee-free on the card. This is huge news because most cards charge a fee for rent payments made on the card. Users can get 1 point per dollar spent on rent, 2 points per dollar on travel, and 3 points per dollar on dining. If you are someone who spends most of your money on thee three categories, there is substantial reward potential.
Points can be redeemed with many travel partners, including:
- American Airlines AAdvantage
- Air Canada Aeroplan
- Air France/KLM Flying Blue
- Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
- Emirates Skywards
- Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles
- IHG Rewards Club
- Turkish Miles & Smiles
- United MileagePlus
- World of Hyatt
- Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
In addition, you can redeem points at fitness companies like SoulCycle, so if you are wishing that you had the money to travel more, this could be your answer.
If your landlord doesn’t accept credit cards, Bilt will charge your credit card and send a check on your behalf. They also do not charge a fee for rent payments, unlike most major credit cards.
If you’re paying rent, it is worth looking into the Bilt rewards program. Just be sure to meet the 5 transaction requirement if you want to get your points!
