Each month, Bilt makes the first fun. It offers bonus opportunities, chances to win points playing a trivia game, and even a contest to win free rent (up to $2,500) for what it calls “Rent Day.” Bilt’s next Rent Day occurs on Monday, May 1st. If you’re a fan of Air France-KLM or looking to go to Europe, then this one’s for you. In addition to the usual bonus offerings, Bilt has a 100% transfer bonus to Flying Blue. This means that one Bilt point equals two Flying Blue Miles. Plus, there are multiple routes where redemptions are being discounted by 50%. Bilt is a great program with lots of transfer partners and these Rent Day promos make it even sweeter. I used the Bilt Mastercard® to pay rent on my winter place in Florida this past year and love it. I’ll keep using it for restaurants and other charges on the first to earn double points.

May Bilt Rent Day

100% Air France-KLM Flying Blue Bonus

Bilt points are a valuable, transferrable currency and on May 1st they’ll be worth even more. For each Bilt point that you transfer to Flying Blue, you’ll receive two miles. That makes it possible to book a trip to Europe that much sooner.

Air France

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)

Point Quest

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.

Anthony’s Take: I look forward to the games and bonuses offered on Rent Day each month. Bilt makes paying bills fun and the points earned are valuable given the number of transfer partners that Bilt currently offers. The bonus Flying Blue miles and discounted awards has me excited for May 1st.
