Hot on the heels of other partnerships, Bilt Rewards is sweetening the deal for United MileagePlus credit card holders. Now you can earn even more miles on rent payments when you pay through the Bilt platform. Basically, your everyday rent can now fuel your next vacation a little faster!

Previously, you could earn Bilt Points by paying rent through the Bilt app or with the Bilt Mastercard. Now, if you're also a United MileagePlus cardholder, you can link your account and snag 2x MileagePlus miles on your rent payments, in addition to the Bilt Points you already earn. This is great news if you're trying to boost your United miles balance for award flights.

This matters because rent is usually a huge monthly expense that doesn't typically earn rewards. By double-dipping with both Bilt Points and United miles, you're essentially getting free travel rewards on money you're already spending. So, if you're a United loyalist and pay rent, this is a no-brainer way to rack up those miles!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
