Three ways to claim

Legacy

Your Move-In Cash arrives as a mailed check. Checks typically arrive in 4 to 5 months.

Basic

Open your Stake account and make your initial qualifying spend on Stake Debit. Everyday purchases count. Hit your qualifying spend and your Move-In Cash is ready to claim in Stake. Plus, you unlock Neighborhood Cash earnings on your connected cards.

Unlimited

Open your Stake account and pay your first full rent through it. That payment unlocks your Move-In Cash. And every full, on-time rent payment after that earns you $10 in Cash Back on Rent.

Why sign through Stake

Move-In Cash on top of everything else. On Unlimited, it stacks with Cash Back on Rent, so you earn on day one and every qualifying month.

Your Move-In Cash goes straight to you. No codes, no points to convert.

What’s an agent?

A licensed apartment expert who finds your apartment at no cost to you. They know the buildings, the deals, and what’s available. Their service is free and the property pays their fee when you sign.

Does Move-In Cash stack with Cash Back on Rent?

Yes, on Unlimited. Move-In Cash is a one-time benefit. Cash Back on Rent is monthly, starting with your second rent payment. You get both.

Do I need a credit card?
