May Bilt Rent Day: Avios Transfer Bonus, Rent Free With Anne Hathaway, ‘Devil Wears Prada,’ and More

Bilt Rewards is back with its latest monthly Rent Day promotion. On May 1, members can take advantage of a transfer bonus to 3 Avios programs, plus there’s an option to use Bilt Cash to buy up 1 elite tier level and unlock an even higher transfer bonus.

This month’s Rent Free game is headlined by actress Anne Hathaway, who is joining Bilt’s May 1 Rent Day “Rent Free” game as a featured celebrity participant. Beyond that, members can win style-focused prizes in honor of Anne’s return in “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” Bilt Rewards members will also earn double points on non-rent spending with their Bilt co-branded credit card, up to 1,000 points per Rent Day.

As always, members can still expect popular lifestyle perks tied to Rent Day, alongside exclusive experiences and partner offers rolled out as part of the April 1 event.

Bilt Rent Day: May 2026 Edition

Transfer Bilt Points to Avios Programs With a Bonus of up to 100%

Bilt Rewards is offering its members a transfer bonus when they move points to 3 Avios programs on April 1, Rent Day. Those programs are Aer Lingus AerClub, British Airways Club, and Club Iberia Plus.

How much extra value you’ll get depends on your Bilt elite status, and here’s how the bonus breaks down:

• Platinum plus Bilt Cash upgrade: 100% bonus
• Platinum: 75% bonus
• Gold: 60% bonus
• Silver: 50% bonus
• Blue: 40% bonus

There are some great ways to redeem Avios, so this transfer bonus of up to 100% can provide incredible value. There’s a maximum of 100,000 points that can receive a transfer bonus, regardless of how you split up your transfers across the 3 programs.

Additionally, on May 1, members can use Bilt Cash to temporarily upgrade their status tier for $150 in Bilt Cash, which could unlock a higher transfer bonus. Members can only move up 1 tier, so a Blue member could upgrade to Silver, for instance. Platinum members can use the upgrade to unlock the 100% transfer bonus.

Earn 10x Points on Home Delivery

All Bilt Rewards members can earn 10 points per $1 spent on home delivery orders, provided by Gopuff. These orders normally earn 1 point per $1, but members will see that increased to 10x earnings from April 27 at 9 a.m. ET through May 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Targeted Rakuten Bonus: Get 500 Bonus Points

Bilt will target some members with 500 bonus points for linking their Bilt Rewards account with Rakuten, the online shopping portal, done on May 1. It’s possible to earn Bilt Rewards points through Rakuten, rather than earning cash-back, on everyday purchases.
