Lowe's and Bilt announced on 10 November 2026 that Lowe's is Bilt's exclusive home improvement partner, giving Lowe's access to Bilt's network of over 8 million members [2][3]. The companies plan a curated Lowe's marketplace inside Bilt in early 2027 [3]. The published material gives no supplier onboarding, commission or eligibility terms, so a small home-improvement supplier has no confirmed route to sell through that marketplace. ## Lowe's and Bilt announced the partnership on 10 November 2026 The companies issued a joint release dated 10 November 2026, datelined Mooresville, North Carolina [2][3]. Digital Commerce 360 reported the announcement on 11 November 2026 [1]. Lowe's says the partnership brings its products, services and loyalty benefits into Bilt's network of over 8 million members [2]. Digital Commerce 360 gives the figure as more than 8.2 million [1]. This article uses Lowe's own figure, "over 8 million". Bilt, a "neighborhood commerce and rewards platform", began by rewarding members for rent payments [2][4]. Bilt says its members generated more than $12 billion in rewarded commerce at local businesses over the past 12 months [4]. Its network includes more than 50,000 merchant partners nationwide [2]. ## Bilt members get Lowe's rewards and payment options first Bilt members can connect an existing MyLowe's Rewards account, or create one, to earn 1X Bilt Points on eligible Lowe's purchases [3]. Eligible purchases require a linked MyLowe's Rewards account [3]. Members can also buy a Lowe's HomeCare+ subscription using Bilt Cash, Bilt Points or a linked payment card [2]. HomeCare+ costs $99 a year, renews automatically until cancelled and is available only in select ZIP codes [3]. It includes two annual in-home visits by trained Lowe's associates, covering up to seven essential home maintenance services, plus 5% off products used during those services [2]. Bilt Neighborhood OS, the AI platform behind the tie-up, is due to match customers with existing MyLowe's Rewards accounts in December 2026 [2]. Lowe's and Bilt say the terms of these programmes are subject to change. The MyLowe's Rewards terms are at Lowes.com/Terms, the Bilt terms at bilt.com/terms/lowes, and HomeCare+ terms at Lowes.com/HomeCareTerms [3]. We checked these sources on 12 November 2026. ## Lowe's plans a curated marketplace inside Bilt in early 2027 The partnership plans to expand with a curated Lowe's marketplace within Bilt in early 2027, giving members another way to discover and shop products for their homes [3]. Digital Commerce 360 reports the same plan [1]. The dated steps published so far are: - 10 November 2026: the partnership is announced [2]. - December 2026: Neighborhood OS matches customers with existing MyLowe's Rewards accounts [2]. - Early 2027: the curated Lowe's marketplace is planned inside Bilt [3]. Lowe's says Neighborhood OS "helps find their closest Lowe's store and surfaces relevant Lowe's offers and benefits to customers based on where they live and what they need" [2]. ## The release does not describe a supplier route The joint release describes the marketplace only as a way for members to discover and shop products for their homes [3]. It does not describe supplier onboarding, commission or eligibility terms for third-party sellers [3]. It also does not describe any listing or placement tools for sellers [3]. The release describes Lowe's own products, services and loyalty benefits [2][3]. Nothing in the sources says that independent suppliers will be able to list products in the marketplace. ## Bilt's merchant route is a separate product Bilt describes Neighborhood OS as an AI-powered platform for businesses across dining, retail, fitness, personal services and other categories of local commerce [4]. The platform connects with a business's existing reservation, point-of-sale, payments, customer relationship management and loyalty systems [4]. Bilt's business page lists Retail among its verticals and offers a "Book a demo" button [5]. The retrieved text of that page shows no publication date [5]. Bilt's release names Lowe's among the merchants and service partners joining Bilt's neighbourhood commerce network [4]. On that naming, Lowe's is a Neighborhood OS partner. The sources do not say that a Bilt for Business subscription gives a supplier access to Lowe's marketplace. ## What sellers should do now These are our recommendations, not findings from the sources. - **Do not assume a supplier route exists.** Treat the Lowe's marketplace inside Bilt as unconfirmed until Lowe's or Bilt publishes supplier terms. - **Watch the official newsrooms.** Check corporate.lowes.com/newsroom and newsroom.biltrewards.com for supplier details ahead of the early 2027 launch. - **Ask your Lowe's buyer directly.** If you already supply Lowe's, ask whether the marketplace is open to suppliers, since the published sources do not say. - **Get any Bilt commitment in writing.** Before signing up for a Bilt for Business product, ask Bilt what it includes and whether it gives access to Lowe's marketplace. - **Plan around the dates.** Mark December 2026 and early 2027 in your calendar for the next official updates. ## Key details not yet known - The exact launch date within early 2027 is not given [1][3]. - The sources do not say whether small third-party suppliers will be eligible for the curated marketplace. - Bilt's business page shows no publication date in the retrieved text [5].
