Earn 3x Points on Holiday Shopping
From November 26, 2024, at 9:00 AM ET through November 30, 2024, at 11:59 PM PT, earn 3x points on purchases that typically earn 1x (excluding rent), up to 1,000 bonus points. This is a solid opportunity to rack up some extra points while doing your Black Friday and holiday shopping, but only on up to $500 of spend (earning you 1,000 extra Bilt points).
What else is happening this November 2024 Rent Day?
The Bilt card often includes a range of additional promotions on the first day of the month, and this one is no exception:
- Neighborhood Dining Series: Enjoy curated tasting menus with premium cocktails at select venues. Reservations start at $75 or 5,000 Bilt points. Booking opens on November 27, 2024, at 11:50 AM ET for Platinum Members and at 12:00 PM ET for all other members via the Bilt app or website.
- Neighborhood Comedy Series: Experience live comedy shows curated by comedian and impressionist Matt Friend in unique settings, complete with drinks and light bites. Tickets are available starting at $75 or 5,000 Bilt points. Booking details are the same as the dining series.
Rent day in general runs these exciting benefits as well:
- Double Points on the First: Cardholders will earn double points on all purchases (excluding rent, which earns 1x), but only on December 1st and ends 11:59 PM PT. A maximum of 10,000 bonus points can be earned and cardholders must still use their card 5 times each statement period to earn points.
- Soulcycle Rent Day Rides: Members can receive a complimentary bike in the special-themed class on December 1st when booking directly through the Bilt Rewards app. Booking opens on November 27, 2024, at 10:50 AM ET for Platinum Members and at 11:00 AM ET for all other members through the app. One participant will win a month's rent paid by Bilt (up to $2,500).
- Bilt’s Rent Free game show: Family Feud-style game show (this month with Matt Friends) to earn free rent for the top 10 winners.
Is This A Good Use Of My Points?
While the Amazon redemption bonus is a nice addition for holiday shoppers, Bilt points typically deliver better value when used for travel redemptions through their strong transfer partners. For example, transferring Bilt points to Alaska Airlines can give you great value on premium cabin flights.
Conclusion
Bilt’s December Rent Day offers some useful perks for holiday shoppers, with the chance to earn 3x points on purchases and redeem points for added value at Amazon. While the Amazon boost may appeal to Platinum members, travelers should remember that Bilt points often shine brightest when used for travel.
Should I Get The Bilt Card?
The Bilt card is a unique no-annual-fee card designed to let renters earn rewards on their monthly rent with no fees. With no annual fee and strong earning potential (cardholders must place 5 transactions per billing cycle to activate said benefits), this is a great option, especially for renters.
