Bilt Cardholders Breathe Easy: Rent Payment Perks Staying Put!
Published on January 8, 2026, 9:20 PM
Good news for Bilt cardholders! Despite some rumblings and changes to the Bilt program, it looks like the core feature that makes the Bilt card so awesome – the ability to pay your rent (or mortgage!) with no transaction fees – is here to stay. This means you can continue racking up those valuable points without getting hit with extra charges just for paying your rent. There was some confusion recently with users seeing different options when paying rent, including one that involved using "Bilt Cash" to cover transaction fees in exchange for points. While we're still waiting for the full details to drop next Thursday, early indications suggest you'll still have the option to pay without fees and still earn points like you always have. Why does this matter? Because for many renters, the Bilt card is the only way to earn rewards on a huge monthly expense. If those perks disappeared or became overly complicated, it would seriously diminish the card's value. So, stay tuned for the full announcement, but for now, it seems you can keep paying rent and earning those points without worry!
