Good news for Bilt Rewards members: Feb. 1 is another Bilt Rent Day. As on previous Rent Days, you can play trivia to earn Bilt points, enjoy a Rent Day SoulCycle ride, earn double points on non-rent purchases and enter to win free rent by playing the Rent Free game. Plus, you can snag an exclusive Valentine’s Day dinner reservation through the Bilt Dining program and enjoy a status-based transfer bonus to Aeroplan during the Feb. 1 Bilt Rent Day.

The Bilt Rewards program is free to join, and you don’t need to have the Bilt Mastercard® (see rates and fees) to participate in most Rent Day offers. Here’s what you need to know about the Feb. 1 Rent Day.

Status-based Aeroplan transfer bonus

For the February Rent Day, members can enjoy a one-day-only, status-based Aeroplan transfer bonus based on their Bilt Rewards status as follows:

  • Blue: 75% bonus, so transferring 2,000 Bilt points would get you 3,500 Aeroplan points
  • Silver: 100% bonus, so transferring 1,000 Bilt points would get you 2,000 Aeroplan points
  • Gold: 125% bonus, so transferring 1,000 Bilt points would get you 2,250 Aeroplan points
  • Platinum: 150% bonus, so transferring 1,000 Bilt points would get you 2,500 Aeroplan points

The transfer bonus will only be offered between midnight EST on Feb. 1 and 2:59 a.m. EST on Feb. 2. Your bonus will be based on your current status as of Feb. 1. Bilt Blue members must transfer at least 2,000 Bilt points, while other members can transfer as few as 1,000 Bilt points.

We don’t recommend transferring points speculatively, but if you have been considering an Aeroplan redemption and are looking for a good way to earn Aeroplan points, now could be a good time to transfer Bilt Rewards points and book your reward. For inspiration and ideas on how to use Aeroplan points, check out the following stories:

TPG’s research on Bilt Rewards transfer times shows that Bilt points usually take just minutes to reach your Aeroplan account once you initiate a transfer. Remember that Bilt lets its members see live award flight availability with a Point.me integration.

Bilt Rent Day trivia

If you’re good at trivia, you can boost your Bilt Rewards balance for free each Rent Day.

Bilt gives its members five trivia questions through its app each Rent Day. The questions increase incrementally in difficulty and value. The first question is worth 10 points, the second question is worth 20 points, the third question is worth 30 points, the fourth question is worth 40 points and the fifth question is worth 50 points.

If you get all five questions correct, Bilt will unlock a sixth question worth an extra 100 points. You could earn 250 Bilt points through trivia each Rent Day if you correctly answer all six questions.

Extra Bilt points on non-rent purchases

As on previous Bilt Rent Days, you’ll earn double points when you use your Bilt Mastercard (see rates and fees) to make non-rent purchases between midnight EST on Feb. 1 and 2:59 a.m. EST on Feb. 2. You’ll earn as follows for purchases each Rent Day:

  • Dining: 6 points per dollar spent
  • Travel: 4 points per dollar spent
  • Other purchases (excluding rent): 2 points per dollar spent
  • Rent: 1 point per dollar spent

You can earn up to 10,000 bonus points on purchases with your Bilt Mastercard each Rent Day. However, you must use your Bilt Mastercard at least five times each statement period to earn points. If you dine at a Bilt Dining restaurant on Rent Day and use your Bilt Mastercard to pay, you can earn up to 11 points per dollar spent.

Beginning Feb. 1 at noon EST, Bilt members can snag a reservation for a party of two at select Bilt Dining restaurants on a first-come, first-served basis. Each two-person reservation is bookable for $200 or 15,000 points, and the menu for each restaurant will be visible in the Bilt Rewards app when you book Feb. 1.

Here’s an overview of the restaurants and seating times you could book:

If you book for $200, you can use any card in your Bilt Wallet to pay. The above restaurants, reservation times and costs are based on the information Bilt provided, but these are subject to change.

In August 2023, Bilt launched a new way to win free rent for a month (up to $2,500): the “Family Feud”-style Rent Free game show. Bilt has since offered the Rent Free game show each Rent Day, with a new creator or personality playing each month to determine how many Bilt members win free rent that month. The guest for February Rent Day is Canadian tennis player Eugenie “Genie” Bouchard.

For a chance to win a month of free rent paid by Bilt, head to the Bilt app and play the Rent Free game. If you correctly guess three of the most popular answers, you’ll automatically be entered for a chance to win.

Rent Day SoulCycle rides

Bilt is bringing back its Rent Day SoulCycle rides Feb. 1. These rides are 45 minutes long and offer a full-body indoor cycling workout.

Bilt members can enjoy complimentary bikes at Rent Day Ride classes on a first-come, first-served basis when they reserve their ride through the Bilt app. Even if you miss out on a complimentary bike, you can usually book a bike for a Rent Day Ride class on the fitness tab using points or regular payment.

Bilt is also offering up to $2,500 to one rider who participates in a February Rent Day Ride class to cover their monthly rent.
