Piñata has emerged as one of the leaders in the booming rental rewards space, offering renters a groundbreaking blend of benefits: credit reporting to all three major bureaus for on-time payments and rewards. By turning rent payments into an opportunity for financial growth, Piñata offers renters the chance to build financial security and access rewards, something traditional rental systems have long neglected. This innovative approach not only helps renters gain financial benefits but also fosters a sense of empowerment and ownership in an often-overlooked market.
For years, rent—often the significant monthly expense for tenants—has gone unrecognized by credit bureaus. A significant portion of rent payments are not reported, leaving many renters “credit invisible” and unable to fully access various financial opportunities, including loans, credit cards, or housing options. Unlike credit card users or frequent travelers, renters historically have not been rewarded for their reliability. Piñata changes that, creating a renter-focused movement about more than just perks.
“Piñata is here to reward renters and recognize their biggest expense,” says CEO Lily Liu. “We’re not just a rental perk; we’re a transformational platform making renting more rewarding for both tenants and landlords.”
Piñata reports rent payments to the major credit bureaus and offers 24-month back reporting. These features have resulted in noticeable user credit score improvements, opening up opportunities for more favorable financial terms and loan options. For some, the impact has been even more profound.
Beyond credit-building, Piñata’s rewards program offers tangible benefits for renters. Paying on time earns “Piñata Points,” which can be redeemed for gift cards, discounts, and exclusive experiences through partnerships with popular brands. The weekly giveaways—from kitchen makeovers to free rent for a year—are another standout feature, showcasing Piñata’s commitment to its “Love Where You Live” philosophy.
