How to Earn Points While Paying Your Rent

Turn Rent Payments into Rewards with the Bilt Rewards Program

Paying rent is often seen as just another unavoidable expense, but what if you could turn it into a way to earn valuable rewards? With the Bilt Rewards Program, renters can earn points, gain elite status, and enjoy milestone rewards by paying rent and making other eligible purchases. Let’s dive into how you can maximize your rent payments to achieve significant benefits.

Ways to Earn Bilt Elite Status

There are two primary paths to earning Bilt Elite Status:

  1. Bilt Points Earned
    Earn status by accumulating Bilt Points through rent payments and other eligible spending.
  2. Fast-Track with Spend
    Achieve status through spending on the Bilt Mastercard® or within the Bilt ecosystem, excluding rent payments.

Bilt members automatically receive the higher status of the two options (points or spend). Tier status earned at any point in a calendar year remains active through the end of the following year. For example, earning Gold Status by December will keep you at that level through the entirety of the next year.

Earning Elite Status Through Bilt Points

Elite status through points is based on the total Bilt Points earned in a calendar year from both rent and non-rent spending. Here’s how you achieve each tier:
