In 2022, Bilt Rewards launched a new RENT DAY promo to reward Bilt Rewards members on the first of every month (I am a senior advisor and investor in the company). I’ve been seriously impressed with how inventive the program has been with massive transfer bonuses, rent giveaways, and now Bilt Experiences, but January is just plain ridiculous.
January Rent Day: 75% to 150% Transfer Bonus GALORE
To ring in the new year, Bilt Rewards is going absolutely nuts with its first Rent Day of 2024 by bringing back some of the favorite Rent Days of 2023. Let’s take a look because this is absolutely crazy. I can tell you for a fact that I will be enjoying my Gold Status by moving over copious amounts of Bilt Rewards to both Virgin and FlyingBlue. Normally I always say “don’t move points speculatively” but with these bonuses, I’m breaking my own rules.
I also travel to the UK a lot and have a ton of use in the next year. When I say bonus…I mean this:
75% Member 1000 Bilt Rewards = 1750 Transfer Partner Points
100% Silver 1000 Bilt Rewards = 2000 Transfer Partner Points
125% Gold 1000 Bilt Rewards = 2250 Transfer Partner Points
150% Platinum 1000 Bilt Rewards = 2500 Transfer Partner Points
75% to 150% Transfer bonus with FlyingBlue
75% Member 100% Silver 125% Gold 150% Platinum
75% to 150% Transfer bonus with Virgin
75% Member 100% Silver 125% Gold 150% Platinum
75% to 150% Transfer bonus with IHG One Rewards
75% Member 100% Silver 125% Gold 150% Platinum
Points worth 50% more with Amazon
While this isn’t something I would do, and think it’s not the best use of your Bilt Rewards, many of you seemed to love it and it’s back.

Bilt Rewards Game Show ‘RENT FREE’
It’s a fun game to play, super easy and straight forward, and Michael Rapaport is the guest host this month. Playing off the classic Family Feud format, we’ve asked 1,000 Bilt Members some fun hypothetical questions. Your challenge will be to see how well you know your fellow Bilt Members by submitting guesses to one of these questions. If you can correctly guess three of the most popular answers, you’ll automatically be entered for the chance to get your August rent paid.

– Play Point Quest to earn points. Log in to the Bilt Rewards app on the first. Answer 5 questions and earn 50 points instantly for each correct answer. If you get all 5 correct, you will be given a 6th question for another 100 Bilt points.
– SoulCycle Rent Day partnership – free rider, rent giveaway, and clothing line. On Bilt Rent Day, if you book a Soul Cycle class, you can reserve a free 2nd bike, so bring a friend! You’ll also earn 10x points. This month, one person attending a Bilt Rent day SoulCycle class will get a free month’s rent.
– Rent Giveaway: I mentioned this up above, but if you solve a phrase and you submit the correct answer, you’ll be entered in a contest to win up to $2500 in free rent!
Tell me more about the Bilt Mastercard®?
– You can pay rent without transaction fees with the Bilt Mastercard®.
– You can pay rent via two different ways.
– The first, using their app to pay rent within their Bilt Alliance network. They have partnerships with over 2 million properties across the country. If your building is a part of it, it’s super easy and streamlined.
– But the 2nd way is a gamechanger. You can use their no annual fee Bilt Mastercard® to pay your rent and earn points. The card even earns 2x on travel and 3x on dining with no annual fee.
– I’m not talking just within the alliance, but literally any landlord, anywhere in the United States.
– My landlord doesn’t accept credit card. If they don’t accept credit card, Bilt will mail your landlord a check. They even set it up so that you can use the Bilt Rewards Mastercard to pay via ACH, Venmo, or PayPal.
– If you pay rent, it’s a complete no brainer.
Overall, Bilt Rewards Rent Day is an exceptional time to spend on your credit card if you have one, but also take advantage of all the promotions they offer.
