well, the low credit limit shouldnt be a problem because there is biltprotect. the real problem is there isnt much incentive to use bilt outside of rent and rent day.

Another tidbit from (probably) that same email, which I’m unable to quote right now, is tacit confirmation that HOA fees are acceptable as Bilt “rent” payments.

Is there a way to generate ACH/bank routing information for a Bilt card? I have to pay my garage bill and if I use a credit card, it charges a convenience fee.

In the Bilt app, go to the Pay Rent tab and scroll down to where it says Step 2. Select how you want to pay rent. Then under Pay rent online, it shows Routing number and account number

I don't have a Pay Rent tab. There's a button I can hit to make a payment, after which I enter an amount and then choose the method of payment. On that screen, it shows my Bilt MC and my personal bank as options.

This is what it looks like on the website, same as the app. Maybe you need to set up a residence address first for it to show your options?

Yes. I was interested in this sentence too as it was never "official" only Rent, but many people claimed they were able to pay HOA fees for mortgage. I still wonder if there is a separate category you can choose?

Here is the quote from the email - "Today, around 15% of our members have our cobrand card, while the vast majority of our members join Bilt through our network of apartment and condo buildings that use our platform for all rental / HOA payments."

sentence only suggests hoa payments is accepted for bilt network of apartment and condo buildings. may not be available for others

I feel like Bilt is not super strict on the source of payment as long as the vendor is someone who collects rent (eg a property management software) and there’s only one payment a month

There's not a category that one can choose. Part of the confusion is there was a post on the Bilt subreddit from someone at Bilt stating that the ACH payments could go toward rent, HOA fees, and utilities. There were attempts to clarify this from Bilt directly with no consensus.

Might be just as well that you don’t have a Pay Rent tab. Quote below is from the WikiPost for this thread. Should probably be very careful with non-rent (or HOA payments or more than 1 monthly payment) via the Bilt Rent Account/ACH.

Some may argue I am paying rent for my car :D

Undoubtedly, any “some” who keep a car in New York City :D.

Let us know if Bilt agrees.

Transitioning to WF Card - tips?
 

I'm still an Evolve BILT cardholder and need to transition to the WF BILT card.

Back when there was the 10K offer to apply for the new WF BILT card (using a link on the BILT website) I applied. WF sent me a letter claiming they couldn't verify my identity :confused:. They required me to fax a bunch of documents. At that time, I had been seriously ill, just moved and had no time to jump through that many hoops. Consequently, that app was eventually denied.

Now, it's crunch time.

I'm wondering whether it might be easier to submit a fresh application rather than repeat the earlier scenario that triggered the burdensome verification process?

Another concern, no matter which application avenue I take is the merging/coordination of the current BILT reward points account with the new WF one?

All suggestions that might streamline this transition are welcome! Thanks

Chances are that Wells Fargo could not verify your identity because the address did not match what was shown in credit bureau records. That may be resolved, but if not you will need to send whatever they request.
