Bilt’s Rent Day is back for April 2025, and it’s packed with new ways to maximize your points. To celebrate the ability to now redeem Bilt Points directly through Lyft, Bilt is offering a limited-time redemption bonus.
Not to ignore their usual travel transfer bonuses, Bilt World Mastercard® cardholders can receive a 50-100% transfer bonus to three Avios programs – with the added perk that Avios points can be moved between all five Avios airline programs, effectively making this a system-wide bonus.
Redeem Bilt Points for Lyft — With Up to a 100% Bonus
This month, Bilt introduced the ability to redeem points directly with Amazon, Lyft, and soon in-store merchants. To launch the Lyft partnership, Bilt is offering the following bonus from March 26 at 9:00 AM ET through April 1 at 11:59 PM PT:
- Blue & Silver: 50% bonus
- Gold & Platinum: 100% bonus
To use the offer, link your Bilt and Lyft accounts and opt to pay with points in the Lyft app.
While these redemptions typically offer just 0.7¢ per point, this promo brings that to 1.05–1.4¢, depending on your status. That makes it a better deal—though it still may not beat the value from airline or hotel transfer partners, like the bonus below.
Transfer Bonus to British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus
This is the real headliner for many points enthusiasts. On April 1, 2025, Bilt will offer a one day transfer bonus to British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus, all Avios partners, where Bilt World Mastercard® cardholders can receive a massive 50-100% bonus on their points (the largest bank transfer bonus to any Avios program). Transfer bonuses will be rewarded as follows:
BRAND
Bilt Status Tier
Transfer Bonus
Platinum
100% Transfer Bonus
Gold
75% Transfer Bonus
Silver
60% Transfer Bonus
Blue
50% Transfer Bonus
Keep in mind, all Avios currencies are transferable between one another. That means you can move your points between British Airways, Qatar Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, and Finnair once you’re in the Avios ecosystem. This makes it one of the most flexible transfer bonuses in the game.
Example redemptions with the 100% bonus include:
- Iberia Business Class to Spain for 17K Bilt Points one-way
- Qatar Qsuites from the US to Doha for 35K Bilt points one-way
- Aer Lingus Business Class to Dublin for 25K Bilt points one-way
This promotion runs from 12:00 am ET through 11:59 pm PT on April 1st, 2025, only.
What else is happening this April 2025 Rent Day?
The Bilt card often includes a range of additional promotions on the first day of the month, with expansions coming for this April rent day:
- Double Points on the First: Cardholders will earn double points on all purchases (excluding rent, which earns 1x), but only on March 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.
- Bilt’s Rent Free game show: Family Feud-style game show (this month with comedian Chris Distefano) to earn free rent for the top 10 winners.
- Barry's x Bilt Rent Day: New to Rent Day last month, Bilt announced that Barry’s classes will now be extended to 5 locations for this month: NoHo, Dupont Circle, Denver, Flatiron, and Fidi, CA. Booking opens on Thursday March 27 at 10:50 AM ET for Platinum and Gold Members, and at 11:00 AM ET for all other members.
- Complimentary Coffee and Surprise Item at the Bilt Neighborhood Cafe: If you are in the New York City area, you can stop by the Bilt Cafe for a complimentary coffee and a surprise NYC item.
- Neighborhood Comedy Series: Bilt continues to scale their Comedy Series, now with 11 locations in 7 different cities. Booking opens on Thursday March 27 at 11:50 AM ET for Platinum and Gold Members, and at 12:00 PM ET for all other members.
- Neighborhood Comedy Series: Bilt is also scaling their neghborhood Dining Series, now with dining experiences at 18 locations across 8 different cities, new this month with a dining experience in Cambridge.
Is This A Good Use Of My Points?
The Avios transfer bonus is a standout opportunity. With flexible point movement across all Avios programs and frequent sweet spots, this is one of the best Bilt Rent Day promos we've seen recently.
The Lyft redemption bonus is a nice addition for those who want cash-like flexibility—especially for Gold and Platinum members—but the value still doesn’t quite match up to what you can get from great airline redemptions.
Conclusion
Bilt’s April Rent Day packs serious value—from a new Lyft redemption feature to some of the highest Avios bonuses we’ve seen yet. Whether you’re traveling soon or just want to stretch your points for everyday rides, there’s something for every Bilt member to take advantage of.
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.
