Good news for Bilt Rewards members! January 1st is another Bilt Rent Day, which means exciting promotions and bonuses for members. Bilt Rent Day is a special event where Bilt Rewards offers exclusive deals and rewards to its members. On this day, members can participate in various activities to earn Bilt points, win free rent, and enjoy special offers from partner brands. In this article, we will take a closer look at the promotions and bonuses available on the upcoming Jan. 1 Rent Day.
Lyft Credit for Bilt Cardholders:
During the July 2023 Rent Day, Bilt offered members with a Bilt Mastercard a $20 Lyft ride credit. This time, Bilt is bringing back a modified version of this popular promotion. On Jan. 1, Bilt members with a Bilt Mastercard can activate a $5 ride credit with Lyft in the Bilt app. To do so, make sure your Lyft and Bilt accounts are linked and select “Activate credits” on the Rent Day tab of your Bilt app. Once activated, the credit will appear under “Lyft Pass” in the payment section of your Lyft app within 72 hours.
50% Redemption Bonus on Amazon:
During the March 2023 Rent Day, Bilt cardholders could get a 50% bonus when redeeming points for Amazon purchases. Bilt has brought back this promotion for the Jan. 1 Rent Day. Bilt cardholders will get a 50% bonus when redeeming points for Amazon purchases. Ensure your Bilt Mastercard is linked to your Amazon account, add items to your card on Amazon, select your Bilt Mastercard as your payment method, and choose to redeem points at checkout. The required points you see at checkout will automatically include the 50% redemption bonus. However, it’s important to compare the value you’ll get with this redemption against other options before redeeming.
Status-Based Transfer Bonuses:
Bilt Rewards has offered transfer bonuses to several of its transfer partners on previous Rent Days. On Jan. 1, transfer bonuses to three partners are returning – IHG One Rewards, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, and Air-France-KLM Flying Blue. The transfer bonus percentage depends on your Bilt Rewards status. Blue members will receive a 75% bonus, Silver members a 100% bonus, Gold members a 125% bonus, and Platinum members a 150% bonus. The bonus will be based on your Jan. 1 status. Blue members must transfer at least 2,000 Bilt points, while other members can transfer as few as 1,000 Bilt points.
Bilt Rent Day Trivia:
If you’re good at trivia, you can boost your Bilt Rewards balance for free on Rent Day. Bilt gives its members five trivia questions through its app each Rent Day. The questions increase in difficulty and value. The first question is worth 10 points, the second question 20 points, the third question 30 points, the fourth question 40 points, and the fifth question 50 points. If you answer all five questions correctly, Bilt will unlock a sixth question worth an extra 100 points. You could earn 250 Bilt points through trivia each Rent Day if you answer all six questions correctly.
Extra Bilt Points on Non-Rent Purchases:
On previous Rent Days, Bilt members earned double points when using their Bilt Mastercard to make non-rent purchases. This applies to purchases made between midnight EST and 11:59 p.m. PST on Jan. 1. The earning rates for purchases each Rent Day are as follows: dining – 6 points per dollar spent, travel – 4 points per dollar spent, other purchases (excluding rent) – 2 points per dollar spent, and rent – 1 point per dollar spent. Members can earn up to 10,000 bonus points on purchases with their Bilt Mastercard each Rent Day. However, it’s important to note that members must use their Bilt Mastercard at least five times each statement period to earn points.
Rent Free Game:
For the Aug. 1 Rent Day, Bilt launched the Rent Free game show where members had a chance to win free rent for a month. The game show featured a celebrity guest, and the success of the guest determined how many Bilt members would win free rent that month. For the January Rent Day, the guest is singer and actor Lance Bass. To participate in the Rent Free game and have a chance to win free rent paid by Bilt, members can head to the Bilt app starting on Dec. 27 at 9 a.m. EST and play the game. If members correctly guess three of the most popular answers by the end of Rent Day, they will automatically be entered for a chance to win.
In summary, Bilt Rent Day on Jan. 1 is an exciting event for Bilt Rewards members. They can participate in trivia, earn double points on non-rent purchases, win free rent through the Rent Free game, and enjoy special promotions such as Lyft credits, redemption bonuses on Amazon, and status-based transfer bonuses. Bilt Rewards members can take advantage of these offers and make the most of their membership on Rent Day.
