Depending on the service, points may be awarded monthly for active use or as a one-time bonus.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The points are valid for two years, giving you time to save up for bigger rewards. And if you move to another community\u00a0in the Rewards program, your points move with you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RentCafe\u00a0helps you build\u00a0a strong financial future\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

RentCafe Rewards gives you access to free rent payment reporting, which can help build your credit score when you pay your rent on time. Through this service, your rent payments are reported to all three major credit bureaus to help you achieve your financial goals. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, renting comes with regular expenses that often feel like money out the door. With RentCafe Rewards, those payments can work in your favor, helping you earn points, unlock perks, access local deals, and even build credit, all in one place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
