Please be careful about when it says Rent Payments. Only specific rental companies are covered in it.Triple Check with your rental company if they accept it.

Used it and they sent my rent payment in late. Poor customer service

As per recent email from Bilt- Looks like you can generate points for mortgage payment too! Smilie
We've also built innovative partnerships that help fund even more rewards when you use other cards, like our partnership offering 3x Alaska Airlines miles plus status qualifying points when you pay rent with the Alaska Airlines x Bank of America card.
Looking ahead to 2025:"
We'll announce the first phase of plans in the mortgage space, creating a whole new category of value for homeowners. Whether you're making monthly payments or refinancing, you'll soon be able to earn points on your mortgage payments.
We're also expanding partnerships to help you earn more rewards on rent, whether you use the Bilt card or other credit and debit cards you may already have.
By transforming housing payments into an opportunity to earn rewards, Bilt is creating value where it matters most."

No plans yet, not currently using it for paying the rent. I might close the account, if I use it and something similar happens again then the rewards means nothing as I pay more than that in fines!

Was it due to your credit limit or just an error? Were you using the routing number for more than one transaction per month?

I've only had it a few months and has been working fine. Easy to connect with customer service too when my landlord messed up and charged rent in two transactions, which was no problem Bilt approved the extra transaction.

Can I use this card to earn points without actual rent? For example, use the card to make payments to someone in the house (could use a different address) and then cash the check back to my bank? Thanks.

FWIW I've been paying my mortgage with my Bilt card for almost a year. It works without a hitch as long as I hit 5 transactions. I just put Bilt's ACH number into my mortgage payment system. There's a reddit thread where people have vetted a lot of mortgage services.

I'd like to know about Truist. I just applied for the Bilt card yesterday after reading they're expecting to take mortgage payments.

Benefit day is the first day of every month. It provides different benefit. I receive email about the benefit every month end. On Dec 1, 2024, I was able to use the points to buy a bunch of stuffs on Amazon. On Jan 1, 2025, it let me book free soul cycle class.

Oh ok, I am aware of that, I just thought there was a separate Amazon day from time to time. I'll start paying more attention to first day of the month just in case it involves Amazon because that's all I care for atm.

You can use it anywhere you can enter a checking account routing and account number.

I pay a seasonal trailer rental and the payment is due by the end of January. How can I find out if this is a card I can use for this payment? They do not take credit card as payment but they do take personal checks. Not sure this will work out but if anyone has any helpful ideas I am all ears.

Is it a monthly rent or a one time thing?

You'd probably have to apply and get approved tonight, and then hope you get your card and can login in the next week or so, so you could request a Check to be mailed to your landlord.

But if it's a one time thing, it's really not for that.

I'm part of Bilt rewards, but holding off until they include mortgage before applying for the card.

Chase bank is first on the list. Can anyone confirm using Bilt to pay off a Chase mortgage? Any fee's imposed from Chase for using this? TIA
