Thank you. I’ve previously seen some of those links. Please note that the Reddit posts by “biltrewards” which state that HOA fees can be paid by Bilt and earn Bilt points are 8-12 months old.
Also noted are (other Reddit posts): “
biltrewards • 1 mo ago: Bilt is just for renters, but you can still use the card to earn points on everything else!” and “
biltrewards • 16 days ago: Right now, Bilt Rewards is just for renters. We hope to potentially offer points on mortgage payments in the future!”
Regardless, it’s imprudent to consider Reddit posts to have the same degree of authority and enforcement as
Terms of Use and
Customer Account Agreement.

You can only use our Pay Rent Online feature for rent and rent-related charges. These charges may include rent or additional charges from your landlord, like utilities or maintenance. Our internal team validates these charges and ensures compliance with Bilt’s Terms & Conditions. Each rental statement can be a bit different, so our internal team reviews each payment.”

Agreed. Many people have been earning Bilt points for condo HOA fees since the card was introduced and I have myself for a few months. But I still consider it a serendipitous gift rather than an explicit reward benefit and as such could end at any time for any or no reason. Or hopefully continued and codified in future revisions of the
Terms of Use and
Customer Account Agreement.
