Bilt Rewards Expands Beyond Rent as It Builds a Full Points Ecosystem

Members link any card to stack Bilt points across partners with options far beyond travel.

Overview

  • Bilt says it serves over 5 million members, with about 15% holding a Bilt card and partnerships spanning roughly 70% of the top 100 U.S. property managers.
  • Members can link credit or debit cards to earn Bilt points at partners such as Lyft, Walgreens and merchants in Bilt’s network while keeping their card’s native rewards.
  • Rent can be paid with a linked non‑Bilt card for 1 Bilt point per $2, though a transaction fee applies that users should weigh against the rewards earned.
  • TPG’s October 2025 valuation estimates Bilt points at about 2.2 cents each, reflecting a broad set of 1:1 transfer partners including Atmos Rewards, World of Hyatt and Japan Airlines Mileage Bank.
  • Bilt has announced three new credit cards including a premium option, the ability to earn points on mortgage payments, and a fixed‑value Bilt Cash currency slated to launch Jan. 1, 2026.
