I'm currently semi-retired (from point accumulating) and run almost everything through a 2% cashback or a 5% back on gas card. A few hundred or even thousands of points won't really move the needle for me.
Now here is the weird part. The rewards are 250 points per payment. I initially made 2 $1 payments (one from each linked checking account) as a text, and got 250 points for each.
Of course I'm not going to try doing 1000 $1 payments, but I might do four payments per month. As I said, it doesn't really move the needed, but free points are free points!
You get only 250 points because you're just paying through the Bilt portal, not with the Bilt card. If you apply for the Bilt card and pay for rent with the Bilt card, you get 1x transferable points for your rent payment. (In case you didn't already know that)
I wouldnt be surprised if they eventually reversed your extra points.
