The Bilt Mastercard® is one of the most exciting products to hit the credit card market in years, especially for consumers who pay rent. Cardholders have the opportunity to earn fun bonuses on the first day of each month, which adds a ton of value on top of the card's strong everyday rewards.

Bilt Rent Day Benefits

Unlock even more benefits and special promotions when you use your Bilt card on the first of every month.

1. Earn Double Points on Most Purchases

On the first day of every month, Bilt cardholders can earn twice as many points on all purchases excluding rent, up to a limit of 10,000 points:

  • 6x Bilt points on dining (regularly 3x points); 16x points at Bilt Dining restaurants
  • 4x Bilt points on flights, hotels and car rentals (regularly 2x points)
  • 2x points on every purchase except for rent (regularly 1x points)

The promotional rate begins at 12 a.m. Eastern time, and ends at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the first of each month. You need to use your Bilt Mastercard five or more times each statement period in order to earn rewards. 

2. Double-Dip Your Rewards with Bilt Dining

Bilt Dining is a nice addition to the rewards portfolio that offers members an opportunity to stack points, especially on Rent Day. Diners can earn up to 10x bonus Bilt points per dollar spent with participating restaurants in select cities across the country. 

Unlike most other Bilt earning opportunities, you can earn Bilt Dining rewards with any eligible Visa, American Express or Mastercard in your Bilt Wallet within the Bilt app.

Of course, you’ll earn the most Bilt points if you use your Bilt card, especially on Rent Day.

3. Play Point Quest Trivia

Bilt keeps it fun with a monthly trivia game called Point Quest™ that offers free Bilt points for correct responses. Question topics range from museum knowledge to pop culture, science, math and travel.

Contestants who correctly guess every question get a bonus round at the end for an opportunity to earn additional points.

Earn extra Bilt Points only on the 1st. Answer five questions, and win up to 150 Bilt Points. Answer all five questions correctly and you’ll get access to a bonus question for another 100 Bilt Points to win a total of 250 Bilt Points.

4. Book a SoulCycle Class, Bring a Friend for Free
