Great app and service
To comment mostly on the app here (because the credit card and service it provides is great through and through), it’s a wonderful experience from the minute you open it, which will be often, because it’s more than just an accounting of your transactions. The articles about travel destinations and how to get value are fun for the point newbie to read and the gallery of gifts you can purchase with your reward points are truly unique. What I like most is that the app just works and has a simple layout. It’s easy to track my rent check payment status from check printing, to mailing, to depositing by my landlord. There’s options to auto-pay and automate from your bank account so there’s really no heavy lifting on the users end, just set it up once, use the card a few times a month, and earn some automatic points for making the purchase you already make every month anyway! Thanks BILT!

Honestly, the app is amazing.
I wish this was something that existed before - earn points on doing something you’re going to do ANYWAY, which is pay rent. And they also have credit reporting, so if you pay your rent on time each month - automatically reported positively to the credit bureaus. I have no complaints. The app is easy to navigate and use and I had no problems setting up my account. If your place of residence offers Bilt, use it.

Rental Rewards
This credit card lets you earn points by paying your rent and there are no fees!
The app is the perfect complement to the card; you track and pay off your expenses, but even more than that- they have partnered with airlines that you can transfer your points to on a 1:1 ratio!

Bilt is an easy to use app; rewards made simple
The Bilt Rewards app is easy to use. All features, such as making a payment, can be done in the app. The Rewards tab is really easy to understand. You can also look up flights and hotels from right from the app. It’s easy and secure to see your account information and card number. Thanks, Bilt, for being so convenient for renters like me!

Great idea but still needs work
Bilt rewards is a game changer that makes it easy for everyone to earn points on rent! However, it is a very young product / company and the app definitely needs work in terms of improving reliability. I love the rewards program, especially all the great transfer partners like Hyatt and AA. However, I’ve been logged out and locked out multiple times after updating the app, and it did take them a bit to fix the issue. I’m excited about the future of this product but still somewhat reserved about recommending to people who hate potential hassle/trouble of spending hours dealing with support.

Points
I only applied to get the card because I wanted to use my points towards rent. I saw that my apartment complex was on their Reward Alliance list. While when I tried to make a payment & use my points I wasn’t able to, called customer service & they stated my apartment wasn’t on the list. That it was other locations but not mine. I thought it was misleading & now I believe in order to use my points my only option is for me to make a payment & Bilt will send a check to my leasing office. Which is going to be an inconvenience if I do that, because I’m going to have to follow up to make sure they receive the check & to have the stress thinking, if it’ll arrive on time, if it’ll be correct or what if it gets lost. Not what I expected unfortunately.

Response from developer
Hey there! If your property uses an online payment portal we have an alternative payment method outside of sending checks. We'd be happy to walk you through setting this up! Shoot us an email at theo@biltcard.com. Thanks! Theo
Big Fan!
I am a big fan of this card AND app! First? The card is a no brained for anyone who pays monthly rent: rewards points for rent checks PLUS no fees for charging rent, and no annual fee.
In terms of the app itself: it is easy to use and navigate. Mailing a rent check to a mom-and-pop landlord is easy to set up and I appreciate being able to see the tracking info for the check. Additionally, transferring points fo partners is seamless so that is an added plus!

Best Way to Maximize Rent and Flexible Point Earning
Bilt is a great way to earn points on rent no matter who your landlord is by processing the payment through them instead of writing a check. Bilt also allows you to earn valuable flexible points that can be transferred to a ton of airline and hotel partners! Easy to use and fast transfers.
FINALLY!
This card is a complete game changer and I’m so happy someone FINALLY decided to make a card that allows you to earn points on arguably one of your largest expenses- RENT. My roommates and I read about this card before it launched and got on the waitlist ASAP. Aside from earning points and getting to use them on things like flights and fitness classes, the customer service is AMAZING. I highly recommend this card!!

Dream for Renters
This company has made renting a little bit more worth while for us who have not purchased a house. The ability to earn points on your largest expense every month is a no brainer, they even have amazing transfer partners to make using those points that much more valuable.
