Paying rent<\/a> has been a part of my life since I started living in an off-campus house in college. It was like the first big adult payment I was responsible for. I would usually pay my rent via check or online portal to the landlord or management company, and it felt like that money was disappearing into a black hole, never to be seen again.<\/p>\n

Then, one day, a coworker gave me all the intel about a fairly new credit card product from Wells Fargo: the Bilt Mastercard\u00ae<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Now, I have an open love affair with my Bilt card. When asked what my favorite card in my wallet is, my typical response is: “Get the Bilt card because you can pay rent on it!” Apart from that, I have picked some standout reasons why you should add the Bilt Mastercard to your wallet.<\/p>\n

Supercharged earnings<\/h2>\n

The first day of the month means one thing for renters: “Your rent is due.”<\/p>\n

But Bilt has almost made the first of the month something to look forward to versus a day of dread. With Bilt Rent Day<\/a>, I get double the points in all categories (except on my rent payment). On most days of the month, you’ll earn 3 points per dollar spent on dining<\/a>, 2 points per dollar spent on travel<\/a> and 1 point per dollar spent on other purchases<\/a>, including rent payments.<\/p>\n

However, on the first of the month, those categories double in points, earning you 6 points per dollar spent on dining, 4 points per dollar spent on travel and 2 points per dollar spent on other purchases (excluding rent payments). So, the first day of the month is when I reload my Starbucks gift cards, make a larger deposit on my laundry app, go out to dinner with my friends and pay all my bills \u2014 all because I know I am earning twice as many points.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, though, that you need to use your Bilt Mastercard at least five times each statement period to earn points.<\/p>\n

Earn points on rent<\/h2>\n

The Bilt Mastercard is the only credit card on the market that effectively allows cardholders to circumvent the high transaction fee of paying rent on a credit card. The typical processing fee on rent payments is 2% to 3%, which can add up every month and cost you money.<\/p>\n
