Starting today, Bilt members can start selecting winners from each of these head to head matchups:
While this is no where nearas good as the transfer bonuses we've seen in times past, it's still certainly worth noting. I'm having trouble myself picking which benefit looks the best here.
The gas multiplier looks fantastic, but the 2,000 point cap diminishes the value of that tremendously. 15x on hotels looks interesting as well, but it's hard to say many folks would get a lot of "mileage" (haha) out of that one. If we end up with an easy extra 1,000 points from rent redemption or by linking a card, that would be fine by me.

Redeem Points For College Basketball Playoff Tickets
Maintaining the theme for March Madness, Bilt is also offering cardholders the chance to purchase tickets to the college basketball playoffs for the Sweet 16, Elite Eight, and Final Four rounds in Dallas, Detroit, Boston, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. For interested folks, this stands to be an exciting offer.
Tickets start at 15,000 Bilt points each and can also be purchased via cash using the Bilt app. Based on my average redemption value for Bilt points, I'd probably go ahead with booking these tickets using cash, as purchasing tickets for these games outside of the Bilt app right now is already very expensive.
- Platinum Status Members will have first access at 12:00pm ET
- Gold Status Members will unlock early access at 12:30pm ET
- Silver Status Members receive access at 1:00pm ET
- Blue Status Members will receive access at 1:30pm ET
I took a quick look at tickets, and you can immediately see how valuable this promo could be. Purchasing tickets for even the Western Semifinals in the nosebleeds starts at $350 + taxes, but you could get them for $350!
What else is happening this February 2024 Rent Day?
The Bilt card traditionally runs special promotions the first of every month featuring a wide variety of special bonuses (like the bonuses above).
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 January 1st and ends 11:59 PM PT. A maximum of 1,000 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 when booking directly through the Bilt Rewards app beginning February 28th at 12:00 pm ET. One lucky rider out of all the studios attending a Rent Day Ride will get a month of rent paid by Bilt. (total one winner; up to $2,500 in rent)
- Point Quest® Trivia: Earn extra Bilt Points by answering trivia with Point Quest®, available in the Bilt app only on January 1st.
- Rent Free Game Show: If you can guess three of the most popular answers submitted by 1,000 Bilt Members, you'll be eligible to win a month of March rent paid
What Other Bonuses Has Bilt Run?
Bilt is infamous for running large, lofty transfer bonuses allowing you to maximize the value of your points tremendously. Here are some of the other bonuses Bilt has run in past rent days:
- February 1, 2024: Up to 150% transfer bonus to Air Canada Aeroplan

Conclusion
Bilt’s upcoming Rent Day is going to be a yet another historic one, featuring point transfer bonuses to Air Canada on a scale we have never seen before. With this transfer opportunity, you can get long haul business class flights for just around 40,000 miles one way—incredible value.
Should I Get The Bilt Card?
The Bilt card is an innovative game-changer in the credit card arena, particularly for renters who could never before earn rewards on their largest monthly expenditure—rent. With no annual fee and strong earning potential (cardholders must place 5 transactions per billing cycle to activate said benefits), this card is definitely worth considering in detail.
