Link: Apply for the no annual fee Bilt Mastercard®
The Bilt Mastercard® (review) is a valuable no annual fee card that I recently picked up. 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 a new month right around the corner, the details of the April 2024 Bilt Rent Day promotion have just been announced. Unfortunately this time around, there are no travel opportunities, but rather the focus is on fitness.
In this post:
Details of the April 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 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 10,000 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 deal on fitness classes
Unfortunately for April, Bilt isn’t offering a travel partner transfer bonus as its monthly Rent Day offer. Instead, Bilt is celebrating how it has expanded its Neighborhood Fitness program, with six new partners, offering more ways to earn points and receive extra benefits for fitness classes.
For the April 2024 Rent Day promotion:
- On April 1, you can receive a free Bilt member exclusive fitness experience at dozens of local studios around the country, featuring Rumble, Y7, RowHouse, Pure Barre, and SoulCycle; this will be bookable in the Bilt app on a first-come, first-served basis on March 28 at 12PM ET
- On April 1, you’ll be able to buy fitness classes through the Bilt app and receive a deal, with Rumble, Rowhouse, Pure Barre, AKT, BFT, CycleBar, SoulCycle, and Y7; Platinum and Gold members will receive two free class credits per booking, while Silver and base members will receive one free class credit per booking, usable within 90 days
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 April 2024, there’s the opportunity to score a deal on fitness classes.
Personally this has no appeal to me — that’s fair enough, since not every deal will appeal to every person. While I enjoy working out, group fitness doesn’t interest me in the slightest, though I know others feel differently. Hopefully some can take advantage of this, though for others, it’s at least worth knowing that we shouldn’t expect any travel offer for April.
Do you plan on taking advantage of the Bilt Rent Day promotion for April?
Their new "win free rent" game is also a mess this month. Biased towards those on the east coast, and playing it is confusing. Hope they go back to what they were doing before in all aspects.
