I am glad to see you covered the three different methods you can use to pay you rent (credit card number, automatic check, check routing and account number), because it seems the Bilt advertising does not cover it at all.
Hi Mario! Definitely. Your family is a legal property owner and you can pay by check to the owner of the property + earn points. BILT some times will audit rental payments and ask for a rental contract as proof. That's the only legal document you would need to provide if they did such an audit.
I am not booking a Hyatt in Hawaii and neither am I booking over priced flights with points. I want cash which is valued at 0.55 and I don’t recommend this card to anyone. Don’t fall for these tricks. There are better credit cards which will give nice $200-$300 sign up bonus. Keep applying for a new card every year and you don’t need Bilt
Hey Pinak, thank you for the feedback. I totally agree. BILT is NOT a cashback strategy credit card. However, if someone is paying their monthly Rent in cash or check. BILT is the only credit card that allows for $0 in fees to pay your rent and earn BILT points. I hope people who pay Rent with cash / check can see the power of the BILT card.
@@thetravelpointsdad I think you understand when a person applies for credit card, it results in a hard inquiry and people can only get limited credit cards within certain time
@@pinakmiku4999 definitely agree! Watch out for velocity rules (chase's 5/24 being the most common). I did an analysis of Chase Sapphire vs BILT for families and Chase Sapphire won out cause of the initial sign-up bonus. For advanced players, I can see the BILT card in the #3 to #5 slot. For beginners that have to pay rent, even at the #1 slot for BILT, building out Chase or Citi or American Express setups would all fit within their velocity rules.

Great explaination on the BILT card! Agreed, this card is a must have for anyone that rents, esp with a $0 AF
I pay rent via Zelle but that doesn't work with Bilt. Any suggestions for a work around?
see if you can venmo instead. Then link acct# and routing # to venmo to pay rent. Youse can only use once a month for rent only.
Not only for Rent but also for HOA.
Hi Wuyi! Definitely. This is a GREAT TIP! I recommend people to always try different ACH payments :D
Meet my new daddy!!¡! He's a genius 🎉😊
Thank you Pam.
Could it be used to pay mortgage in the same way it works for rent?
Great question. According to their website, no. However, there is an interview with the VP of travel where he does say they are looking into it.
Can you pay rent for family? I rent a room at my cousins house. Can I use this card to cut a check for them for my rent?
