Support for Today Explained comes from Built. There's a whole system in your brain that is nicknamed the reward system, or so they say. Built took a page out of the brain's book and created a reward system for when you make your housing payment, because why not? Built started out as a renter rewards program and has expanded. Members now can earn points on mortgage payments, too. Every housing payment earns you points that you can use toward flights with top travel partners like United and Hyatt, Lyft rides, Amazon purchases, so much more. Another benefit of Built membership, access to what they called a neighborhood concierge. It can make restaurant reservations, book fitness classes, and find new local spots, all while rewarding you at more than 45,000 merchant partners. They say it's like having a personal assistant baked into where you live. It's simple. Being a renter or owning a home can feel a lot better with Built. You can download the Built app and join the membership for where you live at joinbuilt.com slash explained. That is J-O-I-N-B-I-L-T.com slash explained and please use our link so they know we sent you.
