Big day at the HQ

🚀 Meet Bilt Card 2.0. Today, we’ve introduced Bilt Card 2.0, a suite of three new credit cards (Palladium, Obsidian, and Blue) that reward both rent and mortgage payments — and offer 4% back in Bilt Cash on everyday spend. For the first time, Bilt is extending rewards to homeowners, allowing members to earn points on mortgage payments, while continuing to allow members to pay rent and mortgage with no transaction fee. New cardholders receive a 10.00% introductory APR on new eligible purchases on new eligible purchases for the first 12 months, subject to terms and credit approval. Existing Bilt cardholders can select one of the new cards by January 30, 2026 for a seamless transition — including keeping the same card number and upgrading with no hard credit inquiry (terms apply). Bilt Card 2.0 is powered by best-in-class partners across technology, underwriting, and banking: Cardless | Column | Fidem Financial | Mastercard Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eM7uwU46 #Bilt #HousingRewards #FinTech #Loyalty

Payment terminals just got smarter. 🚀 We've just announced our partnership with Verifone to bring Bilt's seamless customer experience directly to merchants. For example: when you pay at your Bilt neighborhood restaurant, the terminal will instantly recognize you as a member, shows your points, and delivers personalized offers - all without new hardware or staff training for the merchant. Whether it's dinner out or a neighborhood shopping trip, we're transforming every transaction into a relationship-building moment for merchants and their customers. This is connected commerce in action: where payments and experiences merge seamlessly at checkout across your entire neighborhood.

Housing is entering a new era: one that defines home as more than just the four walls of an apartment but also as the neighborhood - unifying the resident experience with AI, and rewarding residents throughout their entire lifecycle.

Dig into the predictions from Ankur Jain, David M. Wyler, Brandt Smallwood, and Margette Hepfner, alongside Gopuff's Alberto M., Metropolis Technologies' Alex Israel, Related Companies' Chris Schmidt, Avenue5 Residential’s Walt Smith, United Wholesale Mortgage's Mat Ishbia, and American Campus Communities' Rob Palleschi.
