The Bilt World Elite Mastercard® made waves, not as a metal card, but by allowing cardholders to earn points on rent payments without transaction fees. But the Bilt card also offers compelling monthly offers and extras that will keep your card top of mind.
Rewards: Earn 1 point per dollar on rent payments without the transaction fee (on up to 100,000 points each calendar year), 3 points per dollar on dining, 2 points per dollar on travel (when booked through the Bilt Travel Portal or directly with an airline, hotel, car rental or cruise company), and 1 point per dollar on other purchases.
Welcome offer: This card does not offer a welcome bonus.
Annual fee: $0 (rates & fees)
Card weight: 16 grams
Other benefits and drawbacks: There’s no welcome bonus for the Bilt Mastercard, but once you’re in, you’ll find reasons to stick around with this program. Known as Rent Day, Bilt Rewards doubles your point earnings from qualifying transactions on the first of the month, up to 10,000 points monthly. In general, you must use the card five times each statement period to earn points, but that shouldn’t be a problem with its earning rates that are dialed into modern life (rewards & benefits). The card also features other promotions including transfer bonuses and discounts with partners like Lyft and SoulCycle.
