Bilt Rent Day Promotion May 2024: Free Fitness Classes

If you pay rent, you need to know about Bilt.

The Bilt Mastercard is a no annual fee credit card that lets you earn rewards (up to 100,000 points a year!) when you pay your rent by credit card.

In addition to earning rewards for paying rent, they offer plenty of other nice features and promotions. One of them is called Bilt Rent Day, which is a rotating promotion active on the first of every month.

We will update this post each month with the latest Rent Day promotions as we learn about them.

What is Bilt Rent Day?

Bilt runs a different promotion on the first of each month, known as Bilt Rent Day. The promotion varies each month.

They are generally active from 12:00 AM Eastern time until 11:59 PM Pacific time to encompass the entire United States, so you technically have 27 hours to take advantage of the offer.

If you want to learn more about Bilt, our Bilt review digs deeper into all the program’s benefits (of which many extend beyond Bilt Rent Day).

May 2024: Private Dining Experiences

For May 2024, they are offering private dining experiences:

If you live in New York, Miami, Seattle, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas, or Boston you have access to a private dining experience.

Bilt has a list of participating restaurants where you can enjoy unique chef’s tastings, wine pairings, and omakase experiences alongside fellow Bilt Members for a family-style meal.

  • Book a seat for $150 or 15,000 Bilt Points for yourself and a guest. 
  • Available on April 26th in the Bilt app at 12:00 ET for Platinum Members, 2:10 ET for Gold Members, 12:20 for Silver Members, and 12:30 for Blue Members.

May 2024: Earn bonus 2-6x Bilt Points

This offer is included each month (as far as I can remember).

Typically, you earn 1x on rent payments, 2x on travel, and 3x on dining when you use the card 5 times each statement period. On Rent Day purchases, you earn double the rewards on dining, travel, and all other points, excluding rent (on which you still earn 1x points).

That’s 6x on dining, 4x on travel, and 2x on everything except for rent.

They also limit you to 10,000 bonus points each month; you still need to use your card at least five times to earn these points.

Previous Bilt Rent Day Promotions

Are you curious about what they offered in previous months?

They typically offer double bonus points on dining, travel, and non-rent purchases each month.

This list shares the “other” bonus promotion:

April 2024: More Fitness Partners + Complimentary Classes

Bilt always had partnerships with SoulCycle and Y7, but they’ve now added AKTBFTCycleBarPure BarreRow House, and Rumble Boxing.

As part of Bilt Day, when you book an upcoming fitness class, you will get a complimentary class credit when you are in the Blue or Silver tier. Gold and Platinum Status members will get 2 free class credits per booking. You can use the free credit within 90 days of April 1st.

You can also book free classes for Rent Day, limited availability so log into your Bilt account and see what is still available. (Update: these classes have all been booked up)

You can still play Rent Day – their monthly game where you can win points, free rent, etc:

March 2024: Earn 2,000 bonus points linking cards

(For March, they used a March Madness bracket and had everyone vote for which promotion would win out… and it was this one)

Unlike in other months, which featured point transfer bonuses, March 2024 features a bonus when you link another credit or debit card to your Bilt account. You get 1,000 points per card for up to two cards, which had to be previously not linked to your account.

If you were Gold or Platinum, you could also decide to take the runner-up reward, which was earning 5X at grocery stores.

February 2024: Transfer Points to Air Canada Aeroplan

Depending on your Bilt status level, you can get a 75% to 150% bonus on points transferred to Air Canada’s Aeroplan program:

  • Blue: 75% bonus
  • Silver: 100% bonus
  • Gold: 125% bonus
  • Platinum: 150% bonus

Transfers are made in 1,000-point increments, and Blue members must transfer at least 2,000 points.

January 2024: Transfer Points to Air France/KLM, Virgin Atlantic, IHG

Depending on your Bilt status level, you can get a 75% to 150% bonus on points transferred to Air France/KLM Flying Blue, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, and IHG One Rewards:

  • Blue: 75% bonus
  • Silver: 100% bonus
  • Gold: 125% bonus

Transfers are made in 1,000-point increments, and Blue members must transfer at least 2,000 points.

There were also two other perks—$5 in Lyft ride credit when you link your Lyft account and an Amazon perk. When you add your Bilt card to your Amazon account, you can use points to pay for purchases, and on January Rent Day, your points are worth 50% more.

December 2023: Black Friday Shopping, 10x on Dining, Soul Cycle Rent Day Rides

The December 2023 Rent Day period was special because it was longer than typical because it included a promotion during Black Friday. From November 23rd (Black Friday) to November 27th, you earned 2x on up to $20,000 of spend in all 1x categories. You also earned 10x on dining during this time period. On Bilt Rent Day, December 1st, you earned 16x on dining.

Finally, perhaps to help you work off Thanksgiving, there were 10 complimentary bikes at 56 SoulCycle locations for a free 45-minute workout.
