Who is this card good for?

The Bilt Mastercard isn’t just for those who pay rent. Its travel and purchase protections are solid, and the rewards can be used with a quality group of 18 airline and hotel transfer partners. However, the card is truly unique in its ability to earn rewards on rent payments without transaction fees.

Earning Rewards

Earn 3 points per dollar spent on dining, 2 points per dollar spent on travel and 1 point per dollar spent on other transactions, including rent. You can earn up to 100,000 points from rent payments per calendar year. The card’s earning rates double across all earning categories on the first day of each month (Rent Day), where cardholders can earn 6 points per dollar spent on dining, 4 points per dollar spent on travel and 2 points per dollar spent on other transactions (excluding rent), up to 1,000 bonus points. Cardholders must use the card five times each statement period to earn points (see rewards and benefits).
