Bilt Rewards Mastercard holders are able to pay rent to any landlord with no transaction fee and earn valuable Bilt card points in on the payment. They’ve now added the ability to pay with any credit card for a 3% fee.
Overall it could be another option for paying rent with a credit card, an alternative to Plastiq. Useful for meeting signup bonus requirements and the like which can make the 3% fee worthwhile.
You might also earn 250 Bilt points when making a monthly rent payment on Bilt which can help somewhat offset the fee. Update 4/23/25: They’ve now made the earn rate 1x per dollar instead of a flat 250 points.
To find this credit card payment option, update your app if you already haven’t. Then, go to the “Pay Rent” tab. There should be an option under “Rent payments using the above account will be charged to:” By default, your BILT Mastercard will be selected. Click the drop down to select another card or link a new card.
