A Better Way to Pay Rent

Intro: The Rent Hack You’re Missing

Welcome to The Leverage Letter—where we transform everyday spending into travel.

Let’s talk about one of your biggest expenses: rent.

You pay thousands every month.
You get ZERO rewards.
You leave serious money on the table.

But what if your rent could fund your next business-class flight, five-star hotel stay, or dining experience?

Stick with me—I’ll show you how Bilt Rewards can turn your big expense into your biggest travel hack.

The Problem: Rent = Wasted Money Without a Strategy

Imagine paying $2,500 per month in rent—that’s $30,000 a year.

What do you get? A roof over your head. But beyond that? Nothing.

Here’s the reality:
Most people throw away thousands every year in rent with no return.
Over five years, that’s $150,000 spent—zero benefits.
Meanwhile, homeowners earn rewards via mortgages and home equity.

Renters have been left behind until now.

With Bilt Rewards, your rent can:
Earn transferable points at no cost.
Be redeemed for business class flights, luxury hotels, and exclusive experiences.
Stack with other credit card points for massive travel value.

Your biggest expense should be working for you, not against you.

The Solution: How Bilt Rewards Works

1️⃣ Get the Bilt Mastercard (No Annual Fee!)

🔹 Earn 1X points per dollar on rent (up to 100,000 points per year).
🔹 No transaction fees—a game-changer for renters.
🔹 3X on dining, 2X on travel, 1X on everything else.

Example: If you pay $3,000/month in rent, that’s 36,000 points per year—without spending extra.

💡 That’s enough for a round-trip economy flight to Europe—just from paying rent.

Note: Use the card for at least 5 additional non rent transactions monthly to earn points on rent payments.

2️⃣ Maximize Rent Day (Every 1st of the Month)

Bilt doubles your points on non-rent purchases:
🔹 6X points on dining 🍽️
🔹 4X points on travel ✈️
🔹 2X points on all other purchases 💳

Rent Day Perks = FREE TRAVEL FASTER.
Bonus transfer offers to airline & hotel partners (sometimes up to 100%).

Example:
Next month, Bilt is offering a 100% transfer bonus to Avianca Lifemiles for Platinum members.

💡 But I’m skipping this transfer—because I can buy Lifemiles later at a 160% bonus.

Pro Tip: Only transfer points when you have a confirmed high-value use case.

How to Redeem for Maximum Value

Bilt points transfer to multiple airlines and hotels, unlocking huge value.

10,000 points = LA to Hawaii on Alaska Airlines
65,000 points = Etihad First Class (Abu Dhabi → London)
50,000 points = Two nights at a luxury Hyatt resort

💡 Pro Tip: Combine Bilt, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Amex Membership Rewards to maximize redemption power.

Real-World Success: Turning Rent into Luxury Travel

A client pays $4,000/month in rent. They signed up for the Bilt Mastercard and:

✔️ Earned 48,000 points per year—just from rent.
✔️ Banked 200,000+ points after strategic spending.
✔️ Redeemed for a round-trip business class flight to Europe.
✔️ Scored two luxury hotel nights in Paris (worth $2,000+).

💡 All from money they were already spending.

Debunking Common Myths About Bilt

1️⃣ “I Can’t Earn Rewards on Rent” → False. Bilt makes it possible— with no fees.
2️⃣ “I Don’t Spend Enough to Make This Worthwhile” → False. You already have the spending power if you pay rent, eat out, or travel.
3️⃣ “Rent Day Sounds Complicated” → False. Just spend on the 1st, and get double points. It’s automated free travel.

Why This Matters: Travel as an Investment

Rent is inevitable for lots of people. But Bilt Rewards turns it into an asset.
