For Rent Day, the first of each month, Bilt Rewards offers regular promotions like double points and transfer bonuses to its travel partners. For the upcoming month Rent Day offers start early to coincide with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And they have (7) offers overall.

1. Five Days Of Double Points. Bilt Mastercard® cardmembers earn 2X points on all 1X categories (excluding rent) starting on Thanksgiving, November 23, 2023 at 12:00 a.m. Eastern through Cyber Monday, November 27, 2023 at 11:59 Pacific. (Use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points.)

   Cardholders will get 2x (1x base, 1x bonus) on up to $20,000 of spend on all 1x categories. After $20,000 of spend, you will continue to get 1x on all non-bonus category spend.

2. Standard Double Points On Rent Day In addition, on December 1 it’s double points on all purchases excluding rent, so 6x on dining; 4x on travel; and 2x on otherwise-unbonused spend, up to 10,000 bonus points. (Use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points.)

3. Up To 16X On Dining. Bilt’s dining portal offers bonus points for dining at participating restaurants that in my experience are often the good places you actually want to eat not the restaurants that participate in most other programs.

   The portal offers 10X points November 24th through December 1st, paying with an eligible card linked to your Bilt Wallet for a participating restaurant found in the Bilt Rewards app (up to 20,000 bonus points, after which Bilt Dining earnings revert to the advertised earning rate for each restaurant).

   On December 1, Bilt co-brand cardmembers earn 16x at Bilt Dining restaurants when paying with that card since the offer stacks with their 6x bonus on dining for Rent Day.

4. Italian Dining Experience In New York. On December 1, 2023 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. there will be an exclusive Italian dining experience at Lavan Chelsea in New York for Bilt cardmembers in conjunction with Mastercard. Book November 25 starting Noon Eastern through the Bilt app at a cost of $150 or 12,500 Bilt points per person. (Must be 21 or over.)

   We’ve teamed up with Mastercard to host a creatively crafted evening of culinary indulgence. 40 guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a five-course meal featuring dishes from four of New York City’s favorite Italian restaurants: Saint Theo’s, Di Fara, A Pasta Bar and La Baia.

   …as they dine, guests will be virtually immersed in serene Italian scenes thanks to the floor-to-ceiling projections at the unique Lavan Chelsea space in New York City. Each course will introduce a new region of Italy inspired by the chef to appeal to the senses through food, music and art.

5. Free Points Trivia Questions On December 1 you can answer 5 questions and win up to 150 points, then if you answer all correctly you can answer a bonus question for another 100 free points.

6. Free SoulCycle 10 bikes are available in each of 56 classes across the country, first-come first served in the Bilt app for Rent Day. One rider who participates wins a free month of rent up to $2,500. Book starting November 25 at Noon Eastern.

7. Win Free Rent in a Family Feud-style game. 1,000 members have answered questions in advance, and you guess their answers. Correctly guess the three that are most popular and you’re entered for a chance at having December rent paid for you. This is all done with a celebrity guest.

About Bilt Rewards And Bilt Mastercard

The Bilt Mastercard® is one of the best new rewards cards introduced in the past several years.

It’s unique because you can use it to earn Bilt Points for paying rent with no transaction fee – the biggest expense most people have, and something no other card offers.

Plus you earn earn 3x at restaurants and 2x on travel. All of this earn is available as long as you make at least 5 purchases per month on the card. And it’s all with no annual fee. (See rates and fees.)

And their points are among the most valuable – with great transfer partners and a strong value travel portal at 1.25 cents apiece. The best way to redeem Bilt points is transferring them to partner airline and hotel programs. They’ve got coverage across all of the airline alliances, and are unique in having both United Airlines and American Airlines as transfer partners – plus Hyatt.

• Star Alliance: Air Canada Aeroplan, Turkish Miles & Smiles, United Airlines MileagePlus
  
• oneworld: American AAdvantage, Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
  
• SkyTeam: Air France KLM Flying Blue
  
• Non-alliance: Emirates Skywards, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles
  
• Hotels: Hyatt, IHG Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy

They have the program with the most extreme value (Turkish). I used HawaiianMiles for my last Hawaii trip to upgrade cheap tickets. And Emirates first class upgrades are an amazing value since I find they’re almost always available close to departure and you can even upgrade business class awards. Meanwhile, Air France KLM is the only SkyTeam program I use regularly.

You can use Bilt points at 1.25 cents apiece towards travel through their (Expedia-powered) portal, redeem for rent (please don’t) or Amazon purchases (please don’t).

Plus – highly unusual for a no annual fee card in my experience – the their co-brand even offer Trip Cancellation and Interruption Protection; Trip Delay Reimbursement; Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver and more.

I own my home and I’m a Bilt Mastercard cardmember. I have a big Membership Rewards balance already, so I use my Bilt card for dining purchases and to take advantage of myriad promotions. If I were a renter I’d be earning points faster. $100,000 charged in rent in a year to a credit card might cost $2,900 through a bill payment service. They let you earn up to 100,000 points per year paying rent without a fee.

They just keep coming back with regular, lucrative offers which makes the earning (and redemption) potential even greater than it first appears. So it’s a program I want to be active in.
