• Rent Day fitness experiences
  

  Bilt Members can book complimentary fitness classes at participating SoulCycle and Barry’s locations. These seats are first-come, first-served, and bookings open by status level beginning August 28 at 11:50 a.m. ET.

  Note that reservations for SoulCycle Rent Day Rides and Barry’s Rent Day Classes are final, and you will be charged a $30 fee if you fail to attend. You will also be prohibited from booking future SoulCycle or Barry’s classes on Rent Day.

• Exclusive dining and comedy experiences
  

  For Bilt’s September Rent Day, Bilt members can enjoy exclusive dining and comedy experiences at some of their favorite neighborhood spots in these cities:

  • Los Angeles, CA; New York City, NY; Nashville, TN; Seattle, WA; Boston (Somerville), MA; San Francisco, CA; Philadelphia, PA; San Diego, CA; Tampa, FL; Phoenix (Chandler), AZ; and Houston, TX for comedy.
  • New York, NY; Miami, FL; Dallas, TX; and Washington, D.C. for dining.

  Reservations open August 28 at 11:50 a.m. ET by status level and are available on a first-come, first-served basis using Bilt points or an eligible card linked to the member’s Bilt account. These reservations tend to book quickly, so act fast if you’re interested.

• Double credit card rewards
  

  Renters can earn more rewards with Bilt’s rewards credit card on the first of the month. Bilt Mastercard cardholders earn double the points on non-rent purchases made with the card for up to 1,000 bonus points, including:

  • 6X points on dining (normally 3X points)
  • 4X points on travel (normally 2X points)
  • 2X points on other purchases, excluding rent (normally 1X points)

  This offer starts at midnight ET on the 1st and runs through 11:59 p.m. PT. As a reminder, to earn points you need to use your Bilt Mastercard at least 5 times per month.

  Remember, though, Bilt points are only worth about 0.55 cents each when redeemed for rent. Therefore, 1,000 points equals $5.50 toward rent. Other Bilt redemption options, in particular using Bilt’s transfer partners, will provide better value. According to Bankrate’s valuations, Bilt points are worth about 2.1 cents each when transferred to a high-value travel partner.

Bilt transfer partners

As an ongoing benefit, Bilt members can transfer their Bilt rewards points to a number of different travel partners. Bilt points transfer at a 1:1 ratio to most partners, making Bilt rewards a solid travel rewards card currency to have. Some transfer partners include:

• Aer Lingus AerClub
• Air Canada Aeroplan
• Air France-KLM Flying Blue
• Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
• Avianca Lifemiles
• British Airways Executive Club
• Iberia Plus
• Southwest Rapid Rewards
• United Airlines MileagePlus
• Accor Live Limitless — ALL
• Hilton Honors
• IHG One Rewards
• Marriott Bonvoy
• World of Hyatt

The bottom line

The Bilt Mastercard is a good option for someone who pays rent with the card and maximizes the card’s extra offers and rewards opportunities. However, it’s certainly not the best rewards card for everyone. Be sure to do your homework before choosing a card to make sure it’s right for you.
