Bilt Mastercard\u00ae overview<\/h2>\n

The Bilt Mastercard\u00ae<\/a><\/span> has no annual fee (see rates and fees<\/a>) but offers a slate of perks in addition to its core principle: the ability to earn points when paying rent and doing so without a transaction fee (see rates and fees<\/a>). In addition to rent benefits, the Bilt card provides built-in perks and points-earning capabilities that make it attractive even to those who don’t pay rent each month. Card Rating*: \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u00bd<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Card Rating<\/a> is based on the opinion of TPG’s editors and is not influenced by the card issuer.<\/em><\/h6>\n

The Bilt Mastercard\u00ae<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a>) is unique because it allows cardholders to earn rewards on rent payments (up to 100,000 Bilt Points in a calendar year) \u2014 without being charged a transaction fee (see rates and fees<\/a>).<\/p>\n

And while this unique feature is worth paying attention to, it’s far from the only reason you might want to get the card. It sports bonus-earning rates that mirror the fan-favorite Chase Sapphire Preferred\u00ae Card<\/a>: 3 points per dollar on dining and 2 points per dollar on travel purchases for no annual fee (see rates and fees<\/a>; see rewards and benefits<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Still, it has some peculiarities that keep it from being a slam dunk for many. One of them is that even though it’s geared toward renters, it’s not necessarily built for those still establishing credit. You’ll want a good to excellent credit score<\/a> (670-850) for the best chance of approval.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at the ongoing benefits offered by the Bilt Mastercard and its unique earning structure to see whether it merits a place in your wallet.<\/p>\n
