Rakuten and Bilt Launch Partnership to Power Smart Rewards

Turn Your Rakuten Cash Back into Bilt Points And Unlock More Rewards

Holiday shopping just got smarter. Bilt and Rakuten have officially teamed up to make your spending go further this season. Starting today, Bilt Members can redeem Rakuten Cash Back for Bilt Points simply by shopping at thousands of stores through Rakuten. That means your holiday gift list can now double as your rewards strategy.

This partnership launches just in time for Black Friday, allowing Rakuten shoppers to earn rewards that can go toward flights, rent, or even your next fitness class.

How It Works

Bilt, already connected to over 5 million homes nationwide, is now seamlessly integrated with Rakuten’s massive rewards network. Members can shop Rakuten deals directly inside the Bilt app, or continue using Rakuten’s website, browser extension, or mobile app. Any Cash Back earned will automatically convert into Bilt Points.

Think of it this way:

• Buy a new TV or kitchen gadget through Rakuten.
• Earn Cash Back that becomes Bilt Points.
• Redeem those points for flights, rent credits, or exclusive experiences.

Why This Partnership Matters

Both Bilt and Rakuten believe that rewards should do more than save you a few dollars, they should help you reach your goals.

“Starting right now, whether you’re furnishing your apartment, shopping for the holidays, or checking items off your weekly to-do list, you’re earning points that can book you a flight to Tokyo, help to cover next month’s rent, or unlock exclusive experiences,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt.

“Now Rakuten members can redeem their Cash Back as Bilt Points—unlocking even more flexibility and redemption options while shopping at thousands of their favorite stores,” added Amit Patel, CEO of Rakuten Rewards.
