Summary
Your rent can earn you a Bali round-trip: S$3,000/month rent can generate enough Max Miles for a flight in as few as 4 months (credit card dual stack) or ~19 months (basic eGIRO tier).
Earned miles never expire: Max Miles sit in your account indefinitely, and transferring them to AirAsia Rewards - see HeyMax for the current partner list and transfer rates, check HeyMax for the current transfer rate.
Simple, automated setup: Sign up at Rently.sg, select your tier, link payment, and miles accumulate with every rent payment.
No landlord involvement needed: Rently fulfils the rent payment obligation directly with the landlord and awards Max Miles, turning your biggest monthly expense into a travel fund.
Every month, your rent payment disappears, and most of the time, you have nothing to show for it. No points, no miles, no progress toward anything fun. It just… goes.
A round-trip flight from Singapore to Bali typically costs between $200 and $400. That's the #1 weekend getaway for Singaporeans, and your rent, paid through Rently, can earn you enough miles to cover it.
You don't need to navigate complicated airline alliances or hunt for business-class sweet spots. Simply pay your rent, earn Max Miles, and transfer them to AirAsia Rewards, which currently offers a 20% bonus (check HeyMax for the latest rates).
Depending on which tier you're on:
Credit card stack: You could cover a Bali round-trip every four months
Basic eGIRO tier: You could cover a Bali round-trip once every ~19 months
This is the most accessible miles redemption available through Rently. And it starts with a five-minute sign-up.
The Math: How S$3,000 in Rent Becomes a Flight to Bali
Let's keep it concrete. Assume you're paying S$3,000/month in rent - a common figure for many Singapore tenants.
Path 1: The Steady Earner - Rently Basic Tier (eGIRO)
Monthly fee: $12
Max Miles earned: 900/month
Target: ~16,667 Max Miles (enough for a Bali round-trip on AirAsia Rewards)
Timeline: ~19 months
This is the entry-level approach - low cost, no credit card required, and completely set-and-forget. If the idea of paying fees on your rent makes you uneasy, this is your lane. You earn miles eGIRO-style, directly from your bank account, and let the points accumulate in the background.
Path 2: The Fast Track - Rently CC Dual Stack
Monthly fee: ~$84 (2.8% on S$3,000)
Max Miles earned: 4,800/month
Target: Same ~16,667 Max Miles
Timeline: ~4 months
Yes, the fee is higher. But you're also unlocking miles at over 5x the rate of the Basic tier. If the value you redeem - a $200-$400 Bali flight - exceeds the fees paid over that period, the math works in your favour. As the miles community often says: the bonus should be worth the fees.
eGIRO is 0% fee. Earn Rewards tiers (non-CC) add a service fee: 0.4% to 2.3%. A credit card option is also available - see the online calculator for applicable rates.(https://www.rently.sg/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-earning-air-miles-from-your-rent-in-singapore-2026-guide). The right choice depends on how fast you want to travel - and how much you're willing to spend to get there sooner.
Quick reference table:

The Path: Rent -> Max Miles -> AirAsia Rewards -> Bali
Here's the full journey, broken into four clean steps.
Step 1: Pay Rent, Earn Max Miles
Sign up on Rently and route your rent payments through the platform. Every payment - whether via eGIRO or credit card - earns you Max Miles, powered by HeyMax.
Step 2: Watch Your Miles Accumulate (They Don't Expire)
Your Max Miles sit safely in your HeyMax account. One of the best features of the programme: Max Miles have no expiry date. You're not racing against a clock. Take 4 months or 19 months - your miles will be there when you're ready.
Step 3: Transfer to AirAsia Rewards
When you're ready to book, transfer your Max Miles to AirAsia Rewards. The transfer ratio at time of writing is 1:1.2 (meaning every 1 Max Mile becomes 1.2 AirAsia points) - check HeyMax for the current rate.
That's a free 20% bonus on everything you've earned.
For example: Transfer 13,889 Max Miles -> receive 16,667 AirAsia points -> book your Bali round-trip. AirAsia has offered strong bonus transfer rates in the past, making it a popular redemption path — always confirm the latest rate on HeyMax before transferring.
Step 4: Book on AirAsia.com
Once the points land in your AirAsia Rewards account, head to AirAsia.com and book your flight. Keep an eye out for promotional windows - AirAsia has run sales like the "Bali Bonanza" with fares from just $135, which means your miles could stretch even further during a sale.
Beyond Bali: Your Rent Miles Work Across AirAsia's Network
Bali is the obvious first target - but your Max Miles aren't one-trick. AirAsia flies across Southeast Asia, so the same miles you're earning through rent can take you to:
Bangkok - city break, street food, temples
Phuket - beaches, long weekends, clear water
Kuala Lumpur - quick escape, great food, easy reachable
Jakarta - urban adventure, short flight
Max Miles can be transferred to AirAsia Rewards and other airline and hotel loyalty programmes - see HeyMax for the current partner list and transfer rates. HeyMax works with a growing list of airlines and hotel loyalty programmes. For the most current partner list, always check the HeyMax website directly - partnerships can be added over time.
How to Set It Up: 5 Minutes to Your First Miles
Getting started on Rently is straightforward. Here's what you'll need and what to do:
What you'll need:
Singpass MyInfo - for identity verification
A copy of your valid tenancy agreement
To pass a standard eligibility review
Step-by-step:
Sign up at Rently.sg and complete verification via Singpass MyInfo
Link your payment method - either eGIRO (bank account) or a miles-earning credit card
Choose your tier - Basic eGIRO if you want to earn miles eGIRO-style at lower fees, or CC Dual Stack if you want to accelerate. eGIRO is 0% fee. Earn Rewards tiers add a service fee: 0.4%, 1.3%, or 2.3%. A credit card option is also available - see the online calculator for applicable rates.
Pay your rent - Rently settles the rent automatically each month and credits Max Miles to your HeyMax account
Transfer when ready - log into HeyMax, initiate the transfer to AirAsia Rewards, and book your trip
That's it. No complicated setup, no landlord buy-in required, no chasing down payment processors.
Your Rent is Already Leaving Your Account. It Might as Well Go to Bali.
Every month, thousands of dollars leave your bank account in rent. That's not changing. What can change is whether that money disappears, or builds toward your next trip.
A Bali weekend isn't a distant dream. On the CC dual stack, you're looking at roughly four months of rent payments. Even on the low-fee Basic tier, you get there in under two years - for a flat $12/month, with zero fuss.
The transfer ratio is generous. The miles don't expire. The destination is one of the most beloved in Southeast Asia. And the whole thing runs on autopilot once it's set up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rently and how does it let me earn miles on my rent?
Rently is a rent payment platform designed for tenants in Singapore. Instead of paying your landlord directly, Rently settles the rent directly with the landlord via eGIRO or credit card and, in return, rewards you with Max Miles through its partnership with HeyMax. It's a hands-free way to earn travel rewards on a bill you're already paying.
How many Max Miles do I need for a round-trip flight to Bali?
A typical round-trip flight from Singapore to Bali on AirAsia costs around 16,667 AirAsia points. The transfer ratio to AirAsia Rewards currently offers a bonus (check HeyMax for the latest rate), so you'll need approximately 13,889 Max Miles to book that ticket. Transfer rates change -- always confirm on HeyMax before transferring.
Is it worth paying the Rently fees just to earn miles?
It can be, if the value of the flight you redeem exceeds the fees you've paid while earning those miles. For example, a $200-$400 Bali flight often outweighs the service fees over the earning period, especially on the CC dual stack tier. Always run the numbers for your rent amount and tier to see if the benefit justifies the cost.
Can I use any credit card to pay rent with Rently and earn miles?
Yes, Rently's CC dual stack tier accepts most miles-earning credit cards. You'll pay a 2.8% processing fee on your rent, but you can earn Max Miles and, if your card awards its own miles, stack rewards from both sources. Do check with your card issuer for any restrictions on rent payments.
Do I need my landlord's permission to use Rently?
No. Rently pays your landlord directly, just like a normal bank transfer. Your landlord doesn't need to sign up, link any accounts, or even know you're using the platform. The process is designed to require zero involvement from the property owner.
How long does it take to accumulate enough Max Miles for a Bali trip?
The timeline depends on your chosen tier. With the CC dual stack (earning 4,800 Max Miles/month on a S$3,000 rent), you can reach the needed ~13,889 Max Miles in approximately 4 months. On the basic eGIRO tier (earning 900 Max Miles/month), it takes around 19 months.
Do Max Miles expire, and can I transfer them to other airlines?
Max Miles never expire, so you can accumulate them without any time pressure. When you're ready to redeem, you can transfer them not only to AirAsia Rewards (when available) but also to other airline and hotel programmes - including KrisFlyer via yuu Rewards - through your HeyMax account. Visit HeyMax for the most up-to-date partner list and transfer rates.
What happens if I miss a rent payment or my credit card fails?
If a payment fails, Rently will notify you and may apply late payment fees as outlined in its terms. You won't earn Max Miles for that particular month. To avoid interruptions, ensure your linked bank account or credit card has sufficient funds and that your card hasn't passed its expiry date.
Are there any hidden costs or risks when using Rently?
eGIRO is 0% fee. Earn Rewards tiers add a service fee: 0.4%-2.3% of rent. A credit card option is also available - see the online calculator for applicable rates. There are no sign-up or cancellation fees. As with any payment platform, it's important to understand the fee structure and make sure the miles you earn justify the expense. Rently uses secure, bank-grade systems to handle your payments, so your money and data are protected.
