That explains the confusion/misunderstandings. There aren’t many published statistics as to the number of Bilt accounts without a Bilt MC, I suspect that percentage is small. This is also perhaps the first reference to Bilt “virtual card”.
Forbes: “All members who live in properties in the Bilt Rewards Alliance are eligible to earn Bilt Rewards on their monthly rent. Members of Bilt Rewards without the Bilt World Elite Mastercard® can earn up to 250 Bilt Rewards each month. Cardholders can earn up to 100,000 Bilt Rewards each year. You must use the card five times each statement period to earn points (rewards & benefits).”

Perhaps the teaching point is that it might be more expedient to
send an ACH payment than having the CC issuer
pull the payment? IME, sent payments can be scheduled as little as 12-18 hours in advance compared to pulled payments which invariably take 1-2 days longer.
