Rent Day normally means paying your landlord one of your biggest monthly expenses. But, Bilt flipped the script to the first day of every month into an opportunity to earn bonus points and take advantage of limited-time offers. For October, Bilt is offering an opportunity to status match to Hilton Gold till the end of 2024 with the opportunity to keep that status or even earn Diamond status into 2026. Here's what you need to know.
Bilt Rent Day promotions for October 2024
Whether you have the Bilt Mastercard® or not, Rent Day promotions provide the opportunity to earn valuable Bilt Rewards points. Every month, there are multiple ways to earn bonus points. Sign up for a free Bilt Rewards program membership today to start earning.
Double points on the first of every month
The Bilt Mastercard offers unique benefits for renters but also offers attractive perks that anyone can enjoy. It has a $0 annual fee, and it is the only credit card where you can pay rent without additional fees. Points can be redeemed for rent, a house down payment, to book travel, transfers to airline and hotel partners, and more. Plus, the card includes travel and purchase protections, cell phone insurance and other benefits.
On the first of each month, Bilt Rewards members get double points on all non-rent purchases made with the Bilt Rewards Mastercard. Cardholders can earn up to 10,000 bonus points on purchases from 12 a.m. Eastern to 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
With this promotion, even bonus category purchases earn double points without requiring pre-activation. The bonus categories include:
- Dining: 6X points (regularly 3X points)
- Travel: 4X points (regularly 2X points)
- Other purchases: 2X points (regularly 1X) [excludes rent]
Rent payments earn 1X points since they're not eligible for double points.
However, cardholders must make at least five purchases each month in order to earn points.
Hilton Honors status match promotion
On October 1st, all Bilt Members can activate a status match with Hilton Honors that will last
until December 31, 2024. All Bilt members also have the ability to upgrade their status to
Hilton Honors Diamond. Hilton Gold is unique among mid-level statuses in that it offers a food and beverage benefit. All Bilt members who stay 8 nights at a Hilton property before December 31, 2024 will
keep Hilton Gold status until March 31, 2026.
If Bilt Blue, Silver, and Gold members stay 14 nights at a Hilton property before
December 31, 2024 or if Platinum members stay 10 nights, they will be upgraded to top-tier Hilton Diamond status through March 31,2026.
