Please be careful about when it says Rent Payments. Only specific rental companies are covered in it.Triple Check with your rental company if they accept it.
Seems like it. I can't find anywhere that they go into what "rent" or "rental property" are. It does say you can't pay more than one rental property per month though.
I wouldn't think a company would open themselves up to such abuse, there has to be a catch. I wonder if they report the transactions - e.g. if you send yourself $20k/yr in "rent", are you liable to report that as income?
I think if anything, they'd probably rather have it be recatagorized as a cash advance on the credit card, i.e. higher interest rates.
But yeah, I love it, my rent is high since I live in a major city, so I come pretty close to that 50k max points each year, for basically doing nothing different and having one more open credit line on my account.
Overall my only gripe is how long it takes for my rent to actually appear on the credit card side:
On the 1st, I'll pay my rent via the online bill portal RentCafe, I'm happy, landlord is happy.
But it won't actually get posted on Bilt until the 6th or 7th.
They day it gets posted I then pay the Bilt CC bill, so 0 interest gets charged to me.

What is really the $$$ of rent to point ratio to redeem in Amazon $$ for example?
7143 Bilt Points = $50 Amazon GC.
I have this card, I love it, I also have a CSR card, it uses the same expedia portal, but at 1.25 vs my CSR which is 1.50.
You can game this card really well to just amass a ton of points and for those of us that pay $$$ in rent, it's basically a free $700 each year. They do a 'rent day' each month on the 1st where there's a 4x and 6x multiplier on most transactions for points.
I don't carry a balance, so I'm def a bad customer for them.

you can pay any rent with it. Some are part of inner circle that is easier to pay. They give you a bank account that you can use for ACH to any rent payment

they basically give you an account number and routing number for you to be able to pay any rent payment. Partner Rental Companies are just easier to pay.

Is the rent charged as a regular credit expense or is it considered as cash advance?
You have both options, either use the credit limit you have to pay your rent or use the bilt protect feature which gets the money from your bank to pay the rent without impacting your card limit

They are using the transaction fees to offset some of their losses on the rent transactions.
