Bilt Rewards Rent Day®: July 2026
Paying your rent is always painful, so Bilt Rewards had the bright idea to make the first of the month a bit more fun and rewarding. So, a few years back, they launched a “RENT DAY” promo to reward Bilt Rewards members on the first of every month. ( I am a senior advisor and investor in the company ).
You DO NOT need the credit card to participate – all Bilt members can participate in the promos and bonuses ( Join Free! ).
I’ve been seriously impressed with how inventive the program has been with massive transfer bonuses, rent giveaways, and now Bilt Experiences. Last year we saw great transfer bonuses ( 75% to 150% )to Accor, LifeMiles, Hilton BA, Virgin, Southwest, FlyingBlue, and more.
January was a slow start with some Amazon bonuses, but then March with a killer offering up to 125% bonus to Japan Airlines, May with 100% bonus to British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus, and now TAP at 125%.
- Using Bilt Rewards:
- Mortgage downpayment = 1.5 cents
- Bilt Travel Portal = 1.25 cents
- Student Loans = 1 cent
- Amazon = 7/10 cent
- Most gift cards = 7/10
- Lyft = 7/10 cent
- Rent = 5.5/10 cent
- Transfer Partners = sky is the limit
Let’s take a look!

July Rent Day – up to 200% bonus to Hilton Honors
I’m tempted in some ways to transfer to Hilton with a 200% bonus. Why? 100k Bilt Points = 300k hilton honors, and while I value Bilt points over 2 cents, and Hilton at only 1/2 a penny… i’m low on Hilton points, and could use some to make a 5 night redemption work ( 5th night free ). On a property that is 75k a night, you’d be paying 300k points for 375k stay

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is great starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Chase Ink Business Cash® , Chase Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into the Sapphire Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
Annual fee remains quite low at $95 a year and if you use the $100 Annual Chase Travel Hotel Credit via Chase Travel℠ you’ll wipe out that annual fee every year. It has great bonus categories and other useful statement credits to enhance your travel.
One thing that is a bummer is Chase lowered the transfer ratio to World of Hyatt from 1:1 to 4:3.
