Bilt is a credit card that allows cardholders to rent as well as earn rewards points.
When they link their accounts, Bilt Mastercard holders will be able to earn 5 points for every $1 spent on the Lyft card. They must choose Bilt as their primary rewards partner with Lyft. This will negate any points earned from other linked loyalty programs.
The Bilt Mastercard costs $0 annually and earns these rewards, in addition to the 5x Lyft bonus:
-
3 points for every $1 spent on dining.
-
2 points for every $1 spent on travel.
-
1 point for every $1 spent on rent (upto 50,000 points per year).
-
1 point for every $1 spent on all other purchases
Note: You must make at most five purchases per month using your Bilt Mastercard to be eligible for any rewards. )
Double earnings are available on purchases made by the card on the first day of each month. However, rent and Lyft ride costs will not be included. The Bilt card is a World Elite Mastercard and offers $5 Lyft credit for three rides per month.
