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.
Mine came in on Christmas Eve. It's a well-BILT card; it's metallic and thicker than my Chase Sapphire Reserve. I wasn't expecting that. Already have the ACH account linked to my PayPal so that I can make my rent payments through it--you're able to do that the day you're approved. That said, you do have to add the account manually to PayPal with the account and routing numbers, it seems, so they have to do the two mini deposits to verify. BILT emails (and texts) you the amounts of each deposit so that you can complete it.
Just got approved and setup autopay at my rental company website using account and routing number. Any idea how to setup autopay for Bilt statement? Somehow unable to see autopay setup options (not for rent payment).
Probably since I just got approved don't see that option.

Not true. For companies that aren't directly tied up they will mail a paper check.

bilt is not a bank. well fargo is the bank. try setting up autopay at wellsfargo.com

This works if your landlord takes paper checks.
I know one situation where a landlord takes rent payment via zillow, and bilt doesn't work for that at all right now--though supposedly if you contact them they will offer to credit you points anyway if you send them a screen shot of your paying via zillow using normal non-bilt payment methods....which is great customer service I guess but a weird business model.

I haven't used Zillow to pay rent, but if you can configure payment to pull from a checking account, you can definitely use this card, it comes with a checking and routing numbers

Unfortunately, the Bilt Rent Account isn't compatible with Plaid just yet, which Zillow uses to verify the account. You can continue to make your rent payments as you previously have (not using Bilt), and with a screenshot of the rent payment confirmation, I can manually add those rent points to your account until we get a better solution.
Yes you do get points for mortgage payments. This is an old FAQ and also they do not advertise this. Who knows, they might change their stance in the future, but for now it works.

I tried at wellsfargo site (on mobile), only saw one time payment. Will check again once statement is generated.

What about if you have your house under an LLC?
