Metropolis, an AI company that powers checkout-free payment experiences in the real world, has formed a partnership with Bilt, a payments and rewards program for home renters. Bilt Members will now earn a minimum of 1X Bilt Points for every dollar spent and benefit from a seamless, in-and-out parking experience at participating Metropolis locations nationwide. Bilt Members can redeem points toward travel, fitness, dining, pharmacy, rideshare and more throughout the Bilt ecosystem.
By joining Bilt’s network of more than 40,000 merchant partners, Metropolis is helping extend everyday rewards to a recurring expense for millions of drivers, reflecting Bilt’s mission to turn everyday spending into rewarding experiences.
“Parking touches nearly everyone, every day — but until now it’s been overlooked as an opportunity to turn routine costs into tangible rewards,” said Alex Israel, CEO and co-founder of Metropolis. “By partnering with Bilt, we’re transforming a universal expense into a rewarding experience while introducing millions of people to the simplicity of checkout-free infrastructure. Together, we’re not just making parking smarter, we’re building the foundation for a future where the entire built world is seamless, personalized and rewarding.”
In the next phase of the partnership, to launch in the coming months, Bilt Members will be able to book, pay and redeem automatically validated parking directly through the Bilt app. Furthermore, real estate partners in the Bilt network will soon be able to offer automatic validation or exclusive parking benefits as part of their broader resident loyalty efforts, and local merchants in Bilt’s network will be able to receive additional traffic in their neighborhood through similar activities.
“Parking, like rent, has never earned residents anything — until now. In partnership with Metropolis and their frictionless, checkout-free technology, we’re giving Bilt Alliance property partners another powerful amenity to offer that drives additional traffic to local merchants, too,” said Ankur Jain, founder and CEO at Bilt. “Connected neighborhoods aren’t just about the home, they’re about rewarding the entire living experience. From housing to parking to local commerce, we’re helping property managers deliver more value through our ecosystem while giving residents rewards that actually matter.”
