Travel Hack Alert! Earn 3x Alaska Miles On Rent?Payments

“We are excited to launch this first-of-its-kind partnership with Alaska Airlines, enabling Alaska Mileage Plan members to earn up to 3x Alaska miles just for paying rent through Bilt at any apartment in the country,” said Brandt Smallwood, Bilt Rewards' Chief Strategy Officer, in a statement.

With this offer, cardholders can earn 3 miles per dollar spent on rent, capped at $50,000 annually. This means a potential of 150,000 bonus miles per year just by covering monthly rent. Payments exceeding this limit will still earn 1 mile per dollar.

Cardholders should also note that paying rent will incur a 3% fee. For instance, a renter who spends $2,500 every month would earn 7,500 Alaska miles but pay $75 in transaction fees.
