At launch, you can only be the primary cardholder on one Bilt account, although you can be an authorized user on a second card.<\/p>\n<p>There are also fees to add authorized users, depending on the card:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Palladium Card: <\/strong>$95 per authorized user (includes Priority Pass)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Obsidian Card: <\/strong>$50 per authorized user<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blue Card: <\/strong>$0 per authorized user<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can add up to five authorized users through the Bilt app.  (<a data-ccid=\"260\" href=\"https:\/\/legal.cardless.com\/schumer\/bilt\/rates_and_fees.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rates & Fees<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Transition_Details_for_Current_Bilt_Cardholders\">Transition Details for Current Bilt Cardholders<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The transition window for current Bilt Mastercard cardholders <strong>opens on January 14<\/strong> <strong>and<\/strong> <strong>closes on January 30, 2026<\/strong>.

This is a no-annual-fee card issued by Wells Fargo, and it won\u2019t come with a welcome bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can close your current Bilt account and skip the transition entirely. That would end your credit card relationship with Bilt and Wells Fargo, although you\u2019ll still be able to participate in the Bilt Rewards program without a card. Just keep in mind that the rewards won\u2019t be as generous.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Key_Things_to_Know_About_Bilt_20\">Key Things to Know About Bilt 2.0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bilt is calling the launch of its new cards and the transition to a revamped program &#8220;Bilt 2.0.&#8221; And with the move to new cards and some uncertainty around which core benefits (like paying rent without transaction fees) will carry over, we\u2019ll take this opportunity to walk through what we know and answer some of the common questions.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"How_will_I_earn_rewards_on_rent_and_mortgages\">How will I earn rewards on rent and mortgages?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the new iteration of Bilt Rewards, members will still be able to earn points on rent, as well as on any mortgage, with no transaction fee when using Bilt Cash as a Bilt cardholder.<\/p>\n<p>For cardholders, Bilt members can pay their rent or mortgage without tapping into their credit line. There\u2019s also no preset spending limit on housing payments and no annual cap on rent and mortgage earnings.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where things get a bit confusing, though, since Bilt is advertising two different ways to pay your rent or mortgage with a Bilt credit card.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The no transaction fee option:<\/strong> You can redeem Bilt Cash for Bilt Points to unlock <em>up to 1X points<\/em> on rent or mortgage, at a redemption value of $30 in Bilt Cash to unlock 1,000 points. The more you spend, the more Bilt Cash you earn, and the more Bilt Points you can earn on your payments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The full points option:<\/strong> You can earn the full 1X points on your rent or mortgage, but if you don\u2019t have enough Bilt Cash to cover the 3% transaction fee, there\u2019s a option pay a 3% transaction fee to &#8220;buy&#8221; the difference to earn the full amount.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you pay your rent with a non-Bilt card, note that you can't use Bilt Cash to offset transaction fees associated with your rent or mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, unless you spend a lot on your Bilt card and earn a lot of Bilt Cash, you\u2019ll likely end up relying on the latter option. Hopefully, Bilt will make this a bit clearer when it explains the logistics of rent and mortgage payments on its website.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_142295\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-142295 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Apartment-Brandon-Griggs-Unsplash-Featured.jpg\" alt=\"Siding of a blue and orange apartment building with extended balconies.\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Apartment-Brandon-Griggs-Unsplash-Featured.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Apartment-Brandon-Griggs-Unsplash-Featured-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Apartment-Brandon-Griggs-Unsplash-Featured-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Apartment-Brandon-Griggs-Unsplash-Featured-325x260.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Brandon Griggs\/Unsplash<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/bilt-rewards\/how-to-pay-rent-with-bilt\/\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Pay Rent via Bilt Rewards and Earn Points<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"What_is_Bilt_Cash\">What is Bilt Cash?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In late 2025, Bilt Rewards announced that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/bilt-rewards\/bilt-cash\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Bilt Cash would replace Milestone Rewards<\/a> and play a major role in Bilt 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>As you might have noticed above, all of the new Bilt cards will earn Bilt Cash in addition to Bilt Points. While the details are still fairly thin, you\u2019ll be able to use Bilt Cash for things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unlock one-time status upgrades, transfer bonuses, and early access to member experiences<\/li>\n<li>Use monthly Bilt Cash credits dollar for dollar across the Bilt network (Lyft, hotel stays, fitness classes, mobile dining, Bilt Collection items, and GoPuff deliveries)<\/li>\n<li>Unlock points on rent and mortgage payments, where every $30 in Bilt Cash unlocks 1,000 points (with no minimums and no $30 increments required)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that Bilt Cash expires on December 31 of each calendar year. At most, you\u2019ll be able to roll over $100 in Bilt Cash to the following year, so it\u2019s worth using it in a way that makes the most sense for you.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Well, there you have it. The new era of the Bilt Rewards program is here.<\/p>\n<p>For some members, the chance to choose a new Bilt card with benefits and earning rates that actually matter will be exciting. For others, the transition to Bilt 2.0 might not work quite as much in your favor.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, now\u2019s the time to act. If you\u2019re a current Bilt cardholder, you have until <strong>January 30, 2026<\/strong>, to choose a new Bilt card, opt out and let your account convert to a Wells Fargo Autograph, or close your Wells Fargo account and skip the transition altogether.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that you\u2019ll need to decide how you want to participate in the Bilt Rewards program, and that deadline will be here before you know it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a long time coming, but the day Bilt finally goes tell-all on the new details surrounding its Cardless credit card portfolio and the transition process.
