Paying Rent Just Got More Rewarding: ACC x Bilt Rewards
At American Campus Communities, we believe college is about more than classes and exams; it’s about having experiences and learning skills that shape you for a lifetime. That’s why we’re constantly reimagining what student living can be: a place that supports not just where you live, but how you grow and thrive.
That’s why we’re proud to be the first student housing company to launch a nationwide rewards program for residents.
Through our partnership with Bilt Rewards, we’re redefining the value of student housing by turning a routine expense — your rent — into something much more: an investment in your future.
How Bilt Rewards Works for You
1. Earn Points with Every On-Time Rent Payment
Rent is often the single biggest monthly expense for students. Now, when you pay on time through Bilt, you’ll earn points automatically—no hidden steps, no extra fees, just simple rewards for something you already do every month.
2. Pay Down Student Loans
Bilt is the only rewards program that lets you redeem points toward student loan payments. That means while you’re living your best college life, you can also start building financial freedom early, taking one small step toward reducing debt before graduation.
3. Redeem for Everyday Essentials and Experiences
Your points can be redeemed in ways that make a real difference right now:
-
Cover your Lyft rides to class or work.
-
Shop essentials (or extras) on Amazon.
-
Grab dinner with friends or book travel.
-
Even put points toward your next rent payment.
Imagine last month’s rent turning into this month’s weekend trip, or your daily coffee runs suddenly being covered by points.
4. Unlock Exclusive Local Perks
Link your debit or credit card to earn points when you shop at 50,000+ participating businesses, from coffee shops and restaurants to fitness studios in your neighborhood.
Why This Matters
This program isn’t just about points; it’s about empowering your future. By rewarding financial responsibility and turning routine expenses into meaningful rewards, Bilt Rewards helps students:
-
Build credit and healthy money habits.
-
Get ahead on student loan payments.
-
Access experiences and perks that make college life more affordable and fun.
For parents, it’s peace of mind knowing that rent payments are helping their students stretch budgets further and prepare for life after graduation.
