Each month, Bilt, the credit card and rewards program makes the first of each month fun. Today, Bilt is turning two. This party has gifts for all who solve the monthly challenge including tickets to fly to London and Dubai. I loved using the Bilt Mastercard® to pay rent on my winter place in Florida and all of the points I earned without fees. I keep using it for restaurants and other charges on the first to earn double points on some already good earning opportunities.
Bilt offers bonuses, chances to win points playing a trivia game, and even a contest to win free rent (up to $2,500) each month on “Rent Day.” Bilt’s next Rent Day occurs today, June 1st.
Rent Day Challenge
In addition to the usual bonus offerings, Bilt has made the Rent Day Challenge even cooler. If you solve this month’s puzzle, you get to select an instant prize.
I tried this out this morning and won 50 Bilt Points. This is better than nothing, but not something to get too excited about.
Here are all of the potential prizes, including (full terms can be found here):
- 25 Bilt Points
- 50 Bilt Points
- 10,000 Bilt Points
- 100,000 Bilt Points
- 5,000 Bilt Points for The Collection
- 25,000 Bilt Points for The Collection
- $100 Lyft Ride Credit
- 1 Month of Free Rent
- Virgin Flight to London – Fly Upper Class roundtrip with a Companion
- Emirates Flight to Dubai – Fly Business Class roundtrip with a Companion
Here is how to play:
- Log onto the Bilt app on June 1st
- Click on Rent Day
- Use the clues given to solve the puzzle
- Once solved, pick your mystery birthday present
- Open your chosen present to see what prize you’ve won
- Everyone who solves the puzzle is a winner!
Point Quest™
Point Quest™ is Bilt’s trivia game (found in the app). You answer questions and can win 50 points per question for the first five, plus 100 if you answer a sixth correctly. I’ve been doing pretty well the past few months and earning all 350 points. I got them all today!
Earn Bonus Points
As always, on Rent Day you can earn bonus points. These include:
- 1 point per $1 spent on rent
- 2 points per $1 spent on travel (doubles to 4 points per $1)
- 3 points per $1 spent on dining (doubles to 6 points per $1)
- 1 point per $1 for all other spend (doubles to 2 points per $1)
Cardholders will receive double earnings, up to 10,000 bonus points, from 12:00 AM EST through 11:59 PM PST on June 1st. Cardholders will continue to earn 1 point per $1 spent on their rent payments when paying with the Bilt Mastercard®. Don’t forget, you must use you card five times each statement period to earn points.
Bilt Dining
Bilt recently launched the Bilt Dining Program. It provides 5x bonus points at additional restaurants for anyone with any credit card loaded in your Bilt Wallet. This is done with a few clicks in the Bilt app. Plus, you’ll earn 3x points if you use the Bilt Mastercard®. The 3x points double to 6x points for dining on Rent Day each month, which makes it possible to earn 11 points per dollar spent through the Bilt Dining Program.
Currently, the Bilt Dining Program is available in the following cities:
- Atlanta
- Boston
- Chicago
- Dallas
- New York City
There are over 200 restaurant choices in each city except Chicago, where there are only 31. I hope this increases as we have lots of great eats here in the Windy City. You can earn unlimited points through Bilt Dining when you’re eating at these restaurants. Just note that it might take up to seven days after dining for the 5x points to post in your Bilt Rewards account.
Anthony’s Take: I had fun playing the games offered today on Rent Day. Bilt makes paying bills fun and the points earned are valuable given the number of transfer partners that Bilt currently offers. Happy Birthday, Bilt! Let me know what prize you win.
