Link: Apply now for the no annual fee Bilt Mastercard®
The Bilt Mastercard® (review) is a valuable no annual fee card that I applied for and hold onto. This allows you to pay your rent by credit card and earn rewards, even if your landlord doesn’t ordinarily allow no-fee credit card payments. For us homeowners, you can potentially even pay your HOA this way.
There are many innovative things about Bilt, including that there’s a Bilt Rent Day promotion on the first day of each month. With it now being a new month, the June 2025 Bilt Rent Day Offer is now live, and for some people, it’ll be the best offer yet. For the fifth month in a row, we’re seeing a transfer bonus, and this is an especially lucrative one.
In this post:
Details of the June 2025 Bilt Rent Day promotion
There are a couple of aspects to the Bilt Rent Day promotion, including the ability to earn bonus points (which is the same every month) plus at least one additional promotion.
Note that Bilt Rent Day promotions are generally valid from 12:00AM ET until 11:59PM PT, so technically you have around 27 hours to take advantage of them.
Earn 2-6x Bilt points on Rent Day purchases
Ordinarily the Bilt Mastercard earns 1-3x points per dollar spent, as you earn 3x points on dining, 2x points on travel, and 1x points on all other purchases. On the first day of each month, you earn double those rewards, meaning you earn 6x points on dining, 4x points on travel, and 2x points on all other purchases (except rent, where you earn 1x points).
With this offer, you can earn up to 1,000 bonus points each month. Keep in mind that you need to use your Bilt Mastercard five times each statement period in order to earn these points. It could be worth strategically making some purchases on the first day of each month to maximize this as much as possible.
Get a 50-200% Accor Live Limitless transfer bonus
Accor Live Limitless (ALL) is one of Bilt’s transfer partners, and for the June 2025 Rent Day promotion, we’re seeing a transfer bonus. Exclusively on June 1 and June 2, 2025 (yes, it’s a two-day offer), Bilt is offering a 50-200% bonus if you transfer points to Accor Live Limitless. The size of the bonus that you get depends on your Bilt elite status. Specifically:
- Bilt Blue members can receive a 50% bonus
- Bilt Silver members can receive a 50% bonus
- Bilt Gold members can receive a 200% bonus
- Bilt Platinum members can receive a 200% bonus
For context, Bilt points ordinarily transfer to Accor at a 3:2 ratio. That means with this bonus, Bilt Blue and Silver members would be able to transfer points at a 1:1 ratio, while Bilt Gold and Platinum members would be able to transfer points at a 1:2 ratio.
For those not familiar with Accor Live Limitless, it’s a revenue based loyalty program. Every 1,000 Accor points gets you €20 (~$23) toward the cost of an Accor stay. In other words, each point is worth exactly two cents, in euro. That means that with this promotion, Bilt Blue and Silver members can redeem their points for roughly 2.3 cents each toward an Accor stay, while Bilt Gold and Platinum members can redeem their points for roughly 4.6 cents each toward an Accor stay.
That’s a pretty incredible redemption rate, assuming you’re interested in staying at Accor properties. There’s another fun angle to this. Accor Live Limitless points can be converted into Air France-KLM Flying Blue miles at a 1:1 ratio, in increments of 2,000 points. This means that if you have Bilt Gold or Platinum status, you could indirectly use this to get a 100% transfer bonus to Flying Blue, earning two Flying Blue miles per Bilt point. That’s potentially worthwhile as well.
Bottom line
On the first day of each month, those with the Bilt Mastercard can take advantage of the monthly Rent Day promotion. In addition to earning up to double points for purchases, for June 2025, there’s the opportunity to take advantage of a 50-200% transfer bonus to Accor Live Limitless.
If you have Gold or Platinum status, being able to redeem Bilt points for roughly 4.6 cents each toward an Accor stay is a pretty unbelievable opportunity. This is also a way for Bilt Gold and Platinum members to indirectly get a 100% transfer bonus to Air France-KLM Flying Blue.
Are you taking advantage of the Bilt Rent Day promotion for June 2025?
It appears wherever you got information about the transfer bonus dates was incorrect. It’s June 2nd, and the bonus is not available anymore. Very disappointing.
@ BiltPlatinum -- For what it's worth, I got that information directly from Bilt. So I'm sorry if they pulled it early, but I just double checked, and that's the communication I received.
Lucky, could you possibly raise this with your contact at Bilt or make another post to raise awareness of this situation? As a Bilt Platinum member, I relied on the promotion dates you provided directly from Bilt. I spent significant time yesterday planning hotel stays in Scotland, Thailand, and the Czech Republic based on that promotion. When I went to transfer points today, however, the promotion had already disappeared.
Given that Bilt communicated these dates...

Given that Bilt communicated these dates explicitly, it seems fair for them to consider reopening the promotion briefly or otherwise offering some goodwill points to those who relied on their announcement. I'd really appreciate any help or insight you could provide here.
I had the same problem
@Ben I absolutely believe you, especially since you, TPG, AwardWallet, UpgradedPoints, and FrequentMiler all posted the same, 2-day timeline. I think whoever created or sent the press release from Bilt pooped the bed here, and Bilt (so far) has not taken any ownership or responsibility for the mistake.
I'd be curious to know how many hundreds of people missed this opportunity due to the incorrect info.
If you transfer points to Accor, you need to keep in mind that those points expire in 12 months with no additional earning activities.
But you should also keep in mind that if you don’t use them, you can transfer them out 1:1 to Flying Blue or Iberia Avios at any time before they expire.
I believe they took IB off the list today .
Ben - Great opportunity to stay at the Fairmont in Banff Springs or Lake Louise. Banff rivals Big Sur in terms of beauty. Totally different geography, but that same take-your-breath-away experience. Those rooms go for $1000/night, but 150k Bilt points should cover most of it. (And some lucrative uses of the suite night awards….)
so 57K points is worth about $2,622? I assume my math is wrong
@ William -- That's correct, if you have Gold or Platinum status.
Accor also transfers 1:1 to Flying Blue. So this could be a 1:2 Flying Blue bonus for those with status.
Oh come on, nobody cares about Accor.
Just give us a 1.25x transfer to Alaska or Hyatt. Those programs are the only good uses of BILT points, random edge cases aside.
Don’t hold your breath for a Hyatt bonus.
Accor’s footprint has some interesting options you’ll just not get with Hyatt or really any other big chain like multiple African safari properties and even a safari cruise, the rebooted Orient Express, and the only chain hotel on the island of St Helena. If you want to venture a little away from what’s considered to be the beaten path by US standards, Accor points can be weirdly useful even if they don’t get you outsized value.
I have the same feeling as you feel at the very beginning, however, later I found this is actually a super great transfer, as the value is very high and actually was able to transfer to a few other airlines, so... It is equivalent to transfer to some other airlines with more than 100% bonus.
Accor is a decent value depending on where you travel, it's great value in Europe.
5000 Bilt points gets you a Catagory 1 Hyatt stay or $230 to spend at an Accor hotel. Most Hyatt Category 1 hotels are less than $230.
That Gold-Platinum transfer bonus is crazy.
The downside with any BILT transfer bonuses is that unless you’re into speculative transfers, you’ve got a one week notice and then a one day transfer window.
