On May 1, Bilt will run a Rent Day transfer bonus to 3 Avios programs: British Airways, Aer Lingus, and Iberia. As usual, the bonus amount is based on your Bilt Rewards status.
Bilt’s April 1 Rent Day headline offer is a transfer bonus of up to 125%. The catch is that the bonus is to Wyndham Rewards, which can be useful in narrow cases but still is not where most people will get the best value from their Bilt points.
Bilt Rewards has added Wyndham as a points transfer partner. Citi and Capital One points transfer to Wyndham as well. There’s almost no use case for 1:1 transfer to Wyndham.
Bilt says it expects to process more than $100 billion in housing payments this year. The real play is using housing relationships to power a broader payments, merchant, and loyalty network that can make the card just one piece of a much larger business.
Bilt’s March Rent Day promotion includes an unprecedented 125% points transfer bonus to Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, exclusive culinary experiences and giveaways with legendary Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller, and double points earnings.
United MileagePlus cardmembers can now earn 2 miles per dollar on rent when paying through Bilt, with earnings split between the card issuer and a bonus mile from United. The catch: you’ll pay a 3% fee for the privilege, making the math far less compelling than Bilt’s earlier 3x Alaska offer unless you’re using it to generate elite qualifying miles as well.
Bilt has expanded its ecosystem beyond rent, letting members earn rewards when ordering everyday essentials through Gopuff. Whether it’s snacks, cleaning supplies, or a late-night beer run, every delivery now earns points on top of your regular credit-card rewards. It’s the newest way Bilt is turning everyday spending—and now home delivery—into a loyalty win.
Bilt’s October Rent Day is here with everything from Leslie Jones comedy tickets and exclusive tasting menus to free fitness classes and even stromboli—but some redemptions will torch your points if you’re not careful.
Bilt Rewards has launched a new travel portal and it promises to fix everything customers hate about travel portals. In fact, it aims to actually make travel better and easier. At a minimum, they’re building along the right lines. And their new ‘Home Away From Home’ brings luxury travel benefits like Amex’s Fine Hotels and Resorts to their members without requiring an expensive credit card.
Bilt Rewards confirmed their new valuation of over $10 billion – specifically $10.75 billion – based on a $250 million fundraising round meant to fuel expansion beyond apartment rent and into homeownership.
And they also shared big news: that they will be leaving Wells Fargo for Cardless.
