What is Bilt Cash?
Bilt Cash is a rewards currency that you can earn as a Bilt member in addition to Bilt points. You earn Bilt Cash by engaging with the Bilt program, and you can redeem it across the Bilt ecosystem for dollar-for-dollar value, special access and more.

How to earn Bilt Cash
There are two primary ways to earn Bilt Cash: through the Bilt loyalty program and with a Bilt credit card.

Bilt cardholders can choose between two reward options: Flexible Bilt Cash or Housing-only rewards. Bilt cards also include Bilt Cash as part of their welcome offers.
How to redeem Bilt Cash
You can redeem Bilt Cash for dollar-for-dollar monthly credits, premium experiences and enhanced benefits across the Bilt ecosystem. However, Bilt caps how much Bilt Cash you can redeem toward most options on a monthly, bi-annual or annual basis. And, you’ll often need to have your Bilt account linked with the partner program before you can redeem Bilt Cash with partners.
What’s the best way to redeem Bilt Cash?
The best way to redeem Bilt Cash depends on many factors. Here’s how the main options compare: Dollar-for-dollar credits, points on rent or mortgage payments, points accelerator, and transfer-bonus or other benefit upgrades. Based on TPG’s valuations, dollar-for-dollar credits will often be the more straightforward use of Bilt Cash than effectively paying 3 or 4 cents per point to earn additional Bilt points.
