Brick Rewards Review UK: Earn Points on Rent + 750 Point Sign-Up Bonus

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.

Get 750 Brick Points Free

New users can currently get a 750 point sign-up bonus by joining through a referral link.

1. Sign up using a referral code: 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?

The standard Brick Rewards conversion is:

10,000 Brick Points = £30 of reward value

That means:

• 1,000 points = £3 of reward value
• £1,000 monthly rent = around £3 of reward value per month
• £12,000 yearly rent = around £36 of reward value per year

It's not life-changing money, but it is effectively a reward for something you're already paying for every month.

It's also worth noting that Brick no longer allows points to be used to purchase gift cards, so the value you get depends on the rewards and offers currently available through the app.

Where Brick Rewards Gets More Interesting

Rather than simply converting your points into cash, Brick's points can be used towards rewards and offers available through its marketplace.

Depending on what's available, these can include:

• Drinks and coffees
• Restaurant rewards
• Discounts on experiences
• Spa offers
• Other local perks and offers

For example, rewards may be available for a few hundred or a few thousand points, depending on the offer.

The exact value can vary considerably depending on the rewards available at the time and where you live.

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
• Equivalent to around £22.50 based on the standard 10,000 points = £30 conversion

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I earn points if I don't pay rent directly to my landlord?

Yes. You can still earn points if you pay your share of rent to a housemate, provided Brick can verify a regular rent payment from your bank account.

Do I need my landlord's permission?

No. Brick works independently from your landlord.

You don't need to tell your landlord, change your tenancy agreement or alter how you pay rent.

Do I need to change how I pay my rent?

No.

You continue paying your rent exactly as normal through:

• Bank transfer
• Standing order
• Existing payment method

Brick simply verifies the transaction through your connected bank account.

Is my bank account safe?

Brick uses Open Banking technology through regulated providers.

The connection is read-only, meaning Brick can view transaction information needed to verify payments but cannot make payments or move money from your account.

You can disconnect your bank connection at any time.
