Introduction to Bilt Rent Day
Bilt Rewards is a unique program that lets you earn points for paying rent with a credit card without oppressive service charges (up to 100,000 points on rent in a calendar year).
Overview of Bilt Rent Day
It's a revolutionary concept: Rent is by far the largest monthly expense for most Americans. Rewards earned through Bilt can be used to offset rent or a future mortgage, or converted into valuable airline miles and hotel points to help you knock off bucket-list travel that might otherwise be unattainable.
The Bilt app integrates with points and miles award tracking service Point.me to make booking travel with points as easy as possible.
What Is Bilt Rent Day?
Bilt Rent Day is an ongoing promotion that occurs on the first day of each month, with different activities that allow you to earn bonus points, get exclusive transfer bonuses to valuable airline and hotel partners, receive big discounts on cruises, and more.
Bilt Rent Day Rewards Limit
As of late 2024, Bilt Rent Day bonus rewards are capped at a total of 1,000 Bilt Points across all earning categories.

Every month, Bilt drops all-inclusive reservations at top Bilt Neighborhood Dining restaurants exclusively for Bilt members, featuring curated tasting menus with dishes from renowned chefs and a selection of premium cocktails at Bilt-exclusive prices.
Bilt Members nationwide can book exclusive dining reservations for themselves and friends at 33 different restaurants across 15 cities.

Neighborhood Comedy experiences

Monthly Bilt promotions for June 2025
Bilt reveals unique offerings each month, but some promotions (nearly) always stay the same.
Pro Tip: Bilt implemented a monthly cap on bonus points in late 2024. Now, earnings revert back to the standard rate after you've earned 1,000 bonus points across all spending categories each Rent Day.
Double Bilt points on non-rent purchases (June 1 only)
On the first day of each month, the Bilt Mastercard® (rates and fees) earns twice its normal rate for non-rent purchases, up to 1,000 bonus points. Here's what you'll earn:
- 6 points per dollar on dining (regularly 3 points per dollar) — and up to 11 points per dollar when using the Bilt Dining feature
- 4 points per dollar on travel (regularly 2 points per dollar)
- 2 points per dollar on all other purchases (regularly 1 point per dollar)
- Rent payments do not double, remaining at 1 point per dollar with the Bilt Mastercard® (up to 100,000 points in a calendar year).
When using Bilt Dining, you'll earn 5 bonus points per dollar at select restaurants. This stacks with the 3 points per dollar you'll normally earn when using the Bilt Mastercard® for dining. During Rent Day, this 5-point bonus will not be additionally bonused.
One important note: You must use your Bilt Mastercard® at least five times per statement period to be eligible to earn points.
Complimentary SoulCycle rides and Barry's fitness classes (for June 1, book beginning May 28)
Bilt offers complimentary rides to a select number of Bilt members per class who book directly in the Bilt App in 50+ SoulCycle locations nationwide.
Fitness favorite Barry's also continues to partner with Bilt this month, with complimentary classes and a complimentary shake after class.

Play the Rent Free game for a chance to have your rent paid (between May 27 and June 1)
Bilt offers a Family Feud-style game called Rent Free, with a different celebrity guest each month. Participants guess their best answers to questions Bilt presents to a panel of 1,000 members each month, trying to identify the most popular answers.
Rent Free has new and improved rules for winning points and free rent (up to $2,500). Game show participants will be scored on their guesses, calculated from three factors:
- Correctly pick a top-three answer
- Correctly rank that answer on the board (double points)
- Correctly choosing the same answer as the celebrity guest of the month (triple points)
The top-scoring 10 Rent Free participants will earn a free month of rent, up to $2,500 apiece. If two top participants tie with the exact same score, the win will go to the Bilt Member who completed the game first. The next top-scoring 500 participants will earn bonus Bilt Points.
Bilt members can play Rent Free from May 27 until 3 p.m. ET on June 1.
After 4 p.m. on Bilt Rent Day, you can return to the Bilt app to watch the full episode and see your score. The top 10 scoring players will be this month's rent winners, and the next top scoring 1,000 members will nab some extra Bilt Points.
How Bilt Rent Day works
Bilt Rewards aims to make paying rent, which typically falls on the first day of each month just a little bit more fun.
Bilt Rent Day falls on the first of every month, and Bilt members who fire up the Bilt Rewards app can book complimentary SoulCycle classes, earn extra points by playing trivia games, and participate in various promotions with exciting rewards such as a free month's worth of rent.
Earning rewards on rent payments
Bilt Rent Day is part of the Bilt Mastercard® incentives program, which helps renters earn rewards on rent payments. Most credit cards charge a fee for paying rent by credit card, and many landlords refuse to accept rent payments by card because of the high fees associated with processing credit card transactions.
The Bilt Mastercard® absorbs those fees, and throws in generous rewards to boot: Renters earn 1 point on rent payments without the transaction fee (up to 100,000 points each calendar year), 3 points on dining, 2 points on travel, and 1 point on other purchases (use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points).
Special promotions and bonus points
Bilt Mastercard® cardholders regularly get opportunities to earn bonus points. Cardholders earn 3 points per dollar on dining and 2 points on travel at all times, plus 1 point on everything else when you use the card five times during a statement period.
On Bilt Rent Day, all rewards are doubled, except on rent payments, up to 1,000 points: Restaurant dining now earns 6 points per dollar, travel earns 4 points per dollar, and regular spending outside of rent earns 2 points per dollar.
Bilt Dining
The Bilt Dining program allows everyone — even non-Bilt card members — to earn bonus points on eating out. Participating restaurants in dozens of cities offer bonus points for every dollar spent at that location.
Anyone who links a credit card to the Bilt Rewards app can earn these bonus points — this way, you can "double-dip" rewards if you prefer to pay for restaurant spend on a card that earns generous rewards on dining.
Participating in Bilt Rent Day
You can participate in Bilt Rent Day even if you don't pay rent. Here's how:
Eligibility and signup process
You'll need a Bilt Rewards account to participate in Bilt Rent Day activities. Sign up at Bilt Rewards, and link your Bilt Mastercard® to the account if you have one. Then download the Bilt Rewards app onto your mobile device to participate.
Every month, bonus activities will be announced a few days ahead of time, so keep an eye out for free fitness class sign-ups or other time-sensitive activities. Then on the first of the month, log back in to look for restaurants offering elevated dining rewards, play games to earn extra Bilt points, and more.
Making rent payments through Bilt
Rent payments also take place within the Bilt Rewards app. Click on the "pay rent" button toward the bottom of the app, and follow the instructions on the screen. There are two options: "Pay rent online" or "pay by check."
It's easiest to pay rent via the Bilt Mastercard®, since it doesn't charge transaction fees.
Pay rent online
If your building allows online rent payments, use the virtual routing number and account number provided within the app to send your transaction just like you would set up an online draft through your bank account.
Pay by check
If your landlord doesn't allow online payments, you can request a rent check via the Bilt app. Complete the setup process by sharing your landlord's contact and payment information, and your rent check will automatically be disbursed on your behalf each month. You may need to finesse the timing of your payments to ensure that your rent checks arrive on the required date each month to avoid late fees.

You can also redeem your points toward rent payments or paying down your statement balance, or use them to pay for products through the Bilt Collection.
Benefits beyond rent payments
Travel and lifestyle partnerships
Bilt has several travel and lifestyle partnerships with various brands, such as SoulCycle. Bilt members who book SoulCycle classes through the app often earn bonus points or class credits toward future workouts.
Home ownership credits
Renters interested in owning their own homes someday can benefit from Bilt Rewards as well. Bilt reports to major credit bureaus, so timely payments toward your credit card statement balance can help you raise your credit score, qualifying you for better mortgage interest rates and loan terms. You can also use your Bilt Points toward your down payment with select lenders, at a rate of up to 1.5 cents apiece.
