4/5

Our rating for Brick Rewards is based on earning potential, ease of use, security, reward value and overall usefulness. Brick stands out because it allows renters to earn rewards from one of their biggest monthly expenses without changing how they pay rent. The Open Banking connection is read-only, meaning users can simply link their account and let Brick automatically verify qualifying rent payments in the background. The main downside is that the standard points conversion is relatively low, so the biggest value comes from using bonus offers, local rewards and staying signed up over the long term.

What is Brick Rewards?

Brick Rewards is a free rewards app designed specifically for renters.

After signing up, you connect your bank account securely through Open Banking. Brick then automatically detects qualifying rent payments and awards you points — meaning you don't need to change how you pay your rent or upload proof every month.

Your rent continues exactly as before:

• Standing order stays the same

• Landlord does not need to be involved

• You don't need to switch bank accounts

• Brick does not take payments on your behalf

The bank connection is read-only, meaning Brick can verify transactions but cannot move money from your account.

   KILX4AAM

2. Connect your bank account through Open Banking

3. Complete the required steps and your bonus points will be added

Using a referral code can also allow you to join instantly, whereas signing up without one may place you on a waiting list.

Earn Points Automatically From Your Rent

The main selling point of Brick Rewards is that you earn points from something you are already paying every month.

You earn:

1 Brick Point per £1 of verified rent paid

Example:

• Rent: £800/month

• Points earned: 800 per month

• Points earned yearly: 9,600

A renter paying £1,000 per month could potentially earn:

• 1,000 points every month

• 12,000 points per year

All without changing any habits.

How Much Are Brick Points Worth?

This is where Brick is slightly less impressive.

The standard conversion is:

10,000 Brick Points = £30

That means:

• 1,000 points = roughly £3

• £1,000 monthly rent = around £3/month value

• £12,000 yearly rent = around £36/year value

It isn't life-changing money, but it is effectively a passive reward on money you were already spending.

Where Brick Rewards Gets More Interesting

While converting points directly into gift cards isn't the strongest value, Brick can offer better value through its reward marketplace.

Examples include:

• Drinks and coffees

• Restaurant rewards

• Discounts on experiences

• Spa offers

• Other local perks

Some examples users have reported include:

• A pint for around 500 points

• Discounted spa experiences

• Restaurant rewards from around 1,000 points

The value depends heavily on what rewards are available in your area.

Local Rewards & Partner Offers

Brick Rewards also offers extra ways to earn points through participating local businesses, including cafés, restaurants, gyms and other independent partners. At the moment, many of these local rewards are focused around London, particularly as Brick continues to build its network, but the company is expanding its partner base across the UK.

This means the local rewards side may be more valuable if you live in an area where Brick has active partners, while renters elsewhere may get the most benefit from earning points on rent automatically and using the wider rewards marketplace.

Monthly Rent Giveaway

Brick also runs giveaways where members can win prizes, including the chance to win up to one month's rent (capped at £1,000).

Obviously this shouldn't be the reason you join, but it is a nice extra benefit on top of the normal points earning.

Brick Rewards Referral Programme

Brick also has a referral scheme.

You can earn:

750 points for every friend who joins

Your friend will need to sign up through your referral link and complete the required steps.

If you referred 10 friends:

• 10 × 750 points

• = 7,500 points

• Worth around £22.50 at the standard conversion

Frequently Asked Questions
