Bilt Rewards

Today we announced that Bilt Rewards has closed an additional $200 million of equity capital, valuing the company at $3.1 billion. General Catalyst led the round with Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries, and continued support from long-standing investors Left Lane Capital, Camber Creek, and Prosus Ventures. This round is a testament not only to the strength of our core business – but the incredible growth opportunity that lies ahead. What’s even more exciting is we also announced that Kenneth I. Chenault, Former CEO of American Express and MD at General Catalyst, is joining Bilt as our new Chairman. Ken brings unparalleled experience to this business, particularly as we scale this platform to go beyond rewarding residents on rent – and also rewarding them in their neighborhood. We are also honored to be welcoming Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL, to our board as an independent director. There is no company in the world that understands hometown loyalty better than the NFL – and his experience in building the League will be invaluable to our long-term strategy. Truly so excited to have Ken and Roger as new partners for all of us on this journey, so please join us in welcoming them to the Bilt team!

Did you know that rent payments don't necessarily contribute to your credit score? Not only does Bilt already enable you to report your rent payments to the three major credit bureaus—we've just launched an industry-first program that lets you earn points on the purchase of a home when you do so with an eXp Realty agent. This first-of-its-kind program awards one point for every $2 of a home's purchase price—meaning a $400,000 home purchase could earn up to 200,000 valuable Bilt Points—which are redeemable for travel, fitness classes, and more. Through Bilt’s app, renters can monitor their credit score and track their progress toward mortgage qualification, and view available homes based on best estimates of an all-in monthly payment—making it easier to compare the monthly cost of homeownership to their current rent.
