I finally gave in and got a Bilt Rewards account and signed up for their credit card.
- Kids paying rent alone was 50k a yr
Nice package in the mail 2-3 days later. Activated it
Info - your Bilt account is not the same as the Wells Fargo account; Bilt uses your email; Wells Fargo uses a userid
My landlord is currently paid by ACH SENT from my bank account, i.e., my bank sends an ACH payment to his bank account
Bilt sends a check by mail or gives you the ACH info so the landlord can PULL the money from your "rent" account
Bilt gives you an ACH routing number and a "bank" account number you can use to give your landlord to pay rent
I have not found a way to pay someone by ACH from Bilt "bank" account
Anyone with more experience please let me know.
Mods, I hope this is correct forum - feel free to move
Second issue
When I logged in to the Bilt App, it found 20 of my credit card accounts
- must have read my credit report when I applied, as all my accounts were there-
and invited me to LINK THOSE accounts to get rewards for paying rent!
I thought Bilt worked only with Wells Fargo!
can I double dip??
Can I use my Capital One visa account to let Bilt pull cash for rent and get both Bilt Rewards and Capital One miles ???
Anyone with expertise / experience linking Bilt Rent to non WellsFargo, please post or pm me.
Thanks
