Overview
- The partnership, which went live Tuesday, lets Flying Blue Visa Signature cardholders earn 3 miles per dollar on rent paid through the Bilt Wallet.
- Earnings are capped at rent payments totaling $50,000 per year, after which rent earns 1.5 miles per dollar.
- Paying rent this way triggers a 3% processing fee, which The Points Guy’s 1.3‑cent mile valuation suggests is roughly offset at 3X but not at 1.5X.
- Rent spend can speed elite status, with 20 status credits each anniversary, 80 more after $15,000 in card spend, 60 more after $25,000, and a reported welcome offer of 70,000 miles plus 100 status credits after $3,000 in 90 days.
- The launch expands Bilt’s rent-to-miles model already used by Alaska Airlines and United cobranded cards, signaling broader adoption of rent as a rewards category.
