# Bilt adds $50 Bilt Cash redemptions for Thumbtack twice a year

_Wednesday 18:45_

Tags: Bilt, credit card, award redemption

Type: Program change

## Summary

Bilt Rewards members can redeem Bilt Cash toward Thumbtack handyman work booked in the Bilt app or on its website, up to $50 from January 1 through June 30 and another $50 from July 1 through December 31.

On-demand jobs with preset prices show Bilt Cash at checkout. Jobs that need a quote must be paid in full first, then submitted in the Bilt app after the work is done. A receipt or invoice has to be provided within 30 days of completion. Bilt then issues a digital check of up to $50 and pulls the same sum in Bilt Cash.

Only bookings made through Bilt qualify. A checkout on Thumbtack itself will not be reimbursed.

Run the job through Bilt if Bilt Cash is meant to cover part of it, and file proof within 30 days when a quote was required.

## Key facts

- **Numbers**:
  - $50: maximum Bilt Cash redemption in each half-year window
  - 30 days: deadline after job completion to submit booking evidence for reimbursement
- **Who qualifies**: Bilt Rewards members redeeming Bilt Cash through the Bilt app or website
- **Takeaway**: If you have a qualifying home repair, book it through Bilt—not Thumbtack directly—and keep proof if the job requires a quote.
