How does the Built Rewards card work?

The Built Rewards card is designed to enhance earning potential through everyday expenditures, especially for renters. It operates as follows:

• Points on Rent: The card earns 1X points on rent payments without any annual fee. This includes payments to any landlord, facilitated through the Built Rewards app, which can send a physical check to the landlord.
• Additional Benefits: It also offers 2X points on travel and 3X points on dining 1.

Moreover, the Built Rewards loyalty program enables users to earn points through rent payments with participating landlords—those part of the Built Rewards Alliance. This initiative aims to make residing in certain apartments more rewarding, allowing renters to earn points for activities like lease renewals or referring new tenants 2.

Notably, the card often features promotional periods where benefits are amplified, such as enhanced point earning rates on certain categories or significant bonuses for early spending following card issuance 3.

The Built card is positioned as a competitive option in the rewards card market, especially for those paying rent, incorporating unique transfer partnerships with airlines and hotels, enhancing its appeal to travelers 4.
