Benefits
Welcome Bonus
- Welcome Bonus Bilt Cash300 pts
Receive $300 in Bilt Cash automatically upon approval — no minimum spend required. Bilt Cash can be used dollar-for-dollar across Bilt partner merchants and services.
Bonus Earnings
- Base Earning Rate: 2x Points on Everyday Spend
Earn 2 Bilt points per dollar on everyday, non-housing purchases when you choose the points earning structure. If you switch to the Flexible Bilt Cash option instead, you earn 4% Bilt Cash rather than 2x points — so you can only earn one at a time.
Resets: Yearly - Bilt Cash Earning Rate on Everyday Spend
Opt into the Flexible Bilt Cash earning structure to earn 4% back in Bilt Cash on everyday, non-housing purchases. Bilt Cash can be used across Bilt partner categories including rent, travel, and dining. You must actively select this option in the Bilt app — it is not the default.
Resets: Yearly - Bilt Neighborhood Benefits
Earn bonus Bilt points at more than 50,000 merchants in the Bilt network, including restaurants, select pharmacies, Lyft, and fitness studios. Just pay with your Bilt Palladium Card at participating locations — no separate enrollment needed. Use the Bilt app to find nearby network merchants.
Resets: Yearly - Earn Points on Rent or Mortgage Payments
Earn Bilt points on rent and mortgage payments made through Bilt with no transaction fee. With the Flexible Bilt Cash option, you can use Bilt Cash to unlock up to 1x points on housing payments; with Housing-only rewards, points are earned automatically based on your everyday spending.
Resets: Yearly - Housing-only Rewards — Up to 1.25X Points on Housing Payments
Select the Housing-only rewards option to automatically earn up to 1.25X Bilt Points on rent and mortgage payments based on your everyday spending volume. This option focuses your rewards on housing rather than everyday purchase categories.
Resets: Monthly - Lyft Rideshare Bonus PointsEnrollment required
Earn 5x total Bilt points on Lyft rides when you pay with your Bilt Mastercard and have your Bilt Rewards and Lyft accounts linked with Bilt set as your active loyalty partner. Paying with a non-Bilt card drops the rate to 2x points.
Resets: Yearly - Rent Day Double Points Promotion
On the 1st of every month, earn double points — 4X — on everyday purchases instead of the usual 2X. Rent Day runs from 12:00 AM ET to 11:59 PM PT, and bonus points are capped at 1,000 per month. Housing payments are excluded.
