In the miles & points world, many of us are familiar with the Bilt Mastercard® (review), which is a valuable no annual fee card that allows you to pay your rent by credit card and earn rewards, even if your landlord doesn’t ordinarily allow no-fee credit card payments.
However, the Bilt Rewards ecosystem goes beyond that, with all kinds of other ways to earn and redeem points. Bilt has an elite status program, and since 2024, has also offered Milestone Rewards, providing (minimal) perks for passing certain thresholds. The company has now announced plans to change this as of 2026.
The idea is that while Bilt points can be redeemed primarily outside the Bilt ecosystem, Bilt Cash can be redeemed within the Bilt ecosystem, giving dollar-to-dollar value to access experiences and benefits that points can’t buy.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
