Is transit(Lyft/Uber)/parking considered as travel as far the Bilt card is concerned?

No, which is kind of funny considering their target segment of young urbanites.

Double points for everything except rent for a week instead of a day. 6x dining, 4x travel, 2x everything else. You can also transfer to IHG at 1 Bilt:2 IHG on December 1 (which isn’t amazeballs but if you have a Bilt balance I could see ways you get excess value out of it).

They’re definitely doing a good job of keeping cardholders engaged

Has anybody used the "rent" payment feature of the card for something other than rent? Since Bilt seems to send out a check to your landlord, could you use the card to pay, say, child care expenses every month? Would be nice to get an extra 1,700 points a month for this expense!

Anyone achieve Silver tier and earned interest on points? What interest rate are you getting?

It’s roughly 2%, credited monthly

HOA / condo
 
Has anyone determined whether Bilt works on condo dues / HOA payments?

I’ve been using the card to pay rent since April. It’s using ACH payments on rent portals (one of them being their own). If the portal doesn’t identify as a rental portal it won’t work.

One of Bilt's representatives claimed on reddit that they have a team who "reviews" payments and reserves the right to request a copy of your lease if they don't believe it's a rent payment. Haven't seen many data points of people actually pushing the system, though.

More data points
 
Have Bilt card by Wells Fargo with $30k credit line.
More info if anyone is interested.

1. I pay MORTGAGE with it for last 3 months (using ACH). Getting the 1% points no problems.
2. I pay HOA similarly using ACH. Getting 1% points.
3. You can add authorized user if you want to via Wells Fargo website.
4. You CAN transfer points not just to yourself (at least I was able to add my wife's Hyatt account, while I did NOT add her as authorized user, but I haven't validated the points transfer. Just can confirm that the app allowed to link it). Bilt support told me that if you add an authorized user, then for sure you shouldn't have any problems with points transfer. For example, with Citi you cannot transfer points to authorized users.

My mom’s card was hit with fraud. New card will be rushed. I’ll need to re enter new routing number/account for rent payments. Anyone have issues with that?

I was hit with the same fraud last week. However, when I check my rent payment ACH info in the Bilt app, it does not appear that the routing number or account number have changed, which makes sense since they are not related to the Mastercard card account number.

Ok, thanks. The agent said I will need to update. Have you made a successful rent payment since fraud incident?

Mom’s acct was also hit last week but received text and email alerts today.

I had alerts for a couple of fraudulent charges & will be getting a new card.
