And then pay occupancy taxes for renting your place…..to yourself.

Brilliant idea. Get some extra points so that you can either engage in tax fraud or add 6-12% to your mortgage payments in occupancy taxes

Yes, I’ve been using for a year with zero negatives and only positives. Only pain is 5 transaction per month minimum. I moved my recurring donations to this card and now it just sits in my desk drawer. Other than that, I’m printing points.

Why not? Rent is an expense you typically can’t get points from unless you want to pay a CC processing fee and there are easy ways to hit the 5 transaction/month threshold (eg 5 Amazon $1 gift cards)

Curious as well for this card… just don’t want to get it and then something happen to the points and transfer partners a year from now // depending on when I get a house

Can someone share how to pay rent if not in BILT alliance? I need to apply for this card lol. Will be renting soon.

Thank you

I’ve been using it for about a year and it’s pretty good. I have had some issues with a few returns not getting refunded to my card, and the customer service experience was not great, so I usually only use it to hit the five purchase minimum.

i would put rent towards subs and really pull in crazy points.. yes a fee. but reward is unmatched

Anyone use this to pay rent through Venmo? My landlord is a non-native English speaker that I pay rent to through Venmo, so I’m anticipating maybe having some issues communicating to them how this will work, so just trying to see how it does work. Will there be a Venmo payment to them with your name in it and “Rent”?

I haven’t been able to find anything on that use case. I’d err on not possible. Cleaner solution would be have bilt cut the check and mail it to landlord (if they’re open to check over Venmo)

Does it work when paying rent through Zelle?

Unlikely to qualify as a rent payment since that tends to code as a person-to-person payment, not rent.

Are commercial properties getting inflated like residential? Thinking of getting into commercial to extra income.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.

My fictitious debt to income ratio was too high for them to approve me, and it took seven days for my loan to be officially back in repayment. So just a heads up.

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
