Bilt Rewards launches special promotions on or around the first of each month. For this upcoming Bilt Rent Day, members can enjoy a status-based transfer bonus of up to 100% to Etihad Guest.
As on previous Bilt Rent Days, you can snag double points for nonrent purchases (up to 1,000 bonus points) and play the “Rent Free” game. Remember that you must use your Bilt Mastercard® (see rates and fees) five times each statement period to earn points (see rewards and benefits).
Here’s what you need to know about the November Bilt Rent Day promotions.
Etihad Guest transfer bonus
Bilt is offering its members a status-based transfer bonus for Etihad Guest on Nov. 1. Specifically, the status-based transfer bonus will apply as follows if you transfer Bilt Points to Etihad Guest between Nov. 1 at midnight Eastern time and Nov. 2 at 2:59 a.m. Eastern time:
- Blue: 25% bonus
- Silver: 50% bonus
- Gold: 75% bonus
- Platinum: 100% bonus

Bilt added Etihad Guest as a transfer partner in early October, so this transfer bonus effectively celebrates this new redemption option. As a reminder, Etihad Guest has many partners, but the most relevant for most U.S.-based travelers are American Airlines, Air Canada, Air France and KLM.
Etihad Guest uses a one-way, distance-based award chart for each partner airline, although the award pricing seems to be consistent across the partners. If you want some inspiration or are curious about award pricing, head over to Seats.aero to see what types of Etihad Guest awards other users have recently found.

‘Rent Free’ game
In August 2023, Bilt launched a new way to win free rent for a month (up to $2,500): the “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. This month, the guest is comedian Gianmarco Soresi.

You’ll earn points by matching your answers in the game show with the celebrity guest’s. The top 10 winners will get their rent paid (up to $2,500), while the next 100 winners will earn 1,000 Bilt points. The next 500 winners beyond that will earn 100 points.
You can visit the Bilt app to play the game between Oct. 27 at noon Eastern time and Nov. 1 at 3 p.m. Eastern time. Then, return to the app after Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. Eastern time to see your score.
