| | | | | | |  | | |  | | | You've been reading about Bilt Rewards, so you may have already seen references to something called "Rent Day." If you're wondering what all the hype is about, here's what you need to know.
On the first of every month, Bilt cardholders can earn double points on nonrent purchases, get access to unique perks like free fitness classes and book exclusive dining or entertainment experiences. Bilt even offers massive transfer bonuses to its travel partners during some months.
Here's what makes it especially interesting: Your Rent Day benefits become more valuable based on your Bilt elite status, which you can earn by using a Bilt card for everyday spending.
Start benefiting from Rent Day today
You can start taking advantage of Rent Day benefits as a free Bilt Rewards member, even if you haven't added a Bilt card to your wallet, though the perks are a little sweeter if you do have one.
Here's what to look for:
- Monthly perks: After joining Bilt Rewards for free and downloading the app, tap the Rent Day banner on your home screen to see this month's perks. While the specific offers change monthly, this is where you'll find everything from "Rent Free" game show entries to transfer bonuses.
- Free fitness classes: Bilt releases complimentary spots for SoulCycle and Barry's classes on a first-come, first-served basis. Bookings typically open a few days before the first, and they fill up fast. Bilt Gold and Platinum elite members get a 10-minute early access window for these bookings and other special experiences.
- Dining and comedy experiences: In participating cities, Bilt hosts comedy shows at unique venues and multicourse restaurant experiences you can book with cash or points. These can be a solid value and an easier way in to trendier spots.
- Double points on spending: Bilt cardholders earn double points on eligible nonrent purchases from midnight EST on the first of the month to 2:59 a.m. EST the next day. A 1,000-point bonus cap applies, but we'll dive deeper into that shortly.
You can stay up to date on each month's offers by bookmarking TPG's Rent Day page. We update it every month with the latest promo details. Tip: This month's transfer bonus is to Japan Airlines!
Why Rent Day gets better with a Bilt card
The real power of Rent Day comes when you combine it with Bilt elite status. There are four status tiers — Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum — and you can earn status based on your total points or annual spending.
If you decide to add a Bilt card to your wallet, your rewards potential on the first of the month jumps significantly. Here's how those double points break down by card. On Rent Day, cardholders earn double points (up to 1,000 bonus points):
Past Rent Day promos have included status matches and challenges with airlines like United Airlines and hotels like Hilton and Hyatt. Every elite tier also unlocks better transfer bonuses to partners like Accor Live Limitless, British Airways Club and Etihad Guest.
Transfer bonuses vary, but Blue members usually get a 25% bonus, Silver members typically get a 50% bonus, Gold members generally get a 75% bonus and Platinum members often get a whopping 100% bonus. In other words, if you're a Platinum member, a 100% bonus effectively doubles your points (i.e., transferring 1,000 Bilt Points will get you 2,000 airline points or miles).
Plus, cardholders can now redeem Bilt Cash to boost their bonus to the next status level for that day. This month, it is $135 in Bilt Cash to "buy up" to the next transfer bonus level, should you choose to earn this way.
If you pay your rent or mortgage on the first, remember that if you have a Bilt credit card, you can do so via Bilt to earn points on the housing payment. In case you are curious, here are step-by-step guides to walk you through the steps for paying rent and mortgages.
Each Bilt card also comes with a welcome offer of Bilt Cash that you can use to unlock housing rewards or a higher Rent Day transfer bonus: $100 for the Blue Card, $200 for the Obsidian Card and $300 for the Palladium Card (plus 50,000 bonus points and Gold status after spending $4,000 on nonhousing purchases in your first three months). Up to $100 of Bilt Cash earned rolls over to the next year.
Whether you have a Bilt card or not, Bilt's monthly Rent Day is a great time to check in on your account and make the most of those one-day special activities and bonuses.
