Heads up, renters and United miles enthusiasts! Bilt just dropped a sweet deal: you can now earn 2x United miles on rent payments when using your eligible Chase United credit card through the Bilt platform. That's on top of the 1 Bilt point you already earn per dollar! This applies to most personal Chase United cards like the Gateway, Explorer, Quest, Club, and even the Presidential Plus. Sadly, United business cards are excluded.
Now, there's a small catch: Bilt charges a 3% fee for using a credit card to pay rent (unless you're using the Bilt card, which is fee-free). So, think of it as buying 1 Bilt point + 2 United points for 3 cents each. Whether this is worth it depends on how you value United miles and how badly you need to hit a spending requirement. If you're chasing elite status with United or have a big redemption in mind, this could be a quick way to rack up those miles. Just crunch the numbers to see if it makes sense for your wallet!
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.
