Bilt Rewards is adding Venmo as a payment option in early 2026! If you're a Bilt cardholder, you already know you can earn points paying rent (and even select mortgages). Right now, you can pay via ACH, debit card, or even link a credit card (though watch out for those pesky credit card fees).
So, what's the big deal? Well, once implemented, you'll be able to use Venmo to pay your rent, eligible mortgage, and at participating local merchants within the Bilt neighborhood network. For Venmo power users, this could mean streamlining your payments and potentially racking up even more Bilt Rewards points.
Honestly, this move seems more targeted at die-hard Venmo fans. If you aren't using Venmo already, this probably won't make you start. But, if you're already living that Venmo life, this is a welcome addition that will make earning points with the Bilt card even easier.
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.
