February Bilt Rent Day: Avianca LifeMiles Transfer Bonus, Dining, Comedy, and Bonus Points

Bilt Rewards is back with the latest edition of its monthly Rent Day promotion. This time, Bilt members are eligible for a transfer bonus to LifeMiles and tickets to exclusive dining experiences and comedy shows.

Bilt took the points world by storm with its no-annual-fee credit card, top-tier transfer partners, and no transaction fees on rent payments. Bilt first introduced Rent Day in 2022, which gives its Bilt Rewards members exciting offers, bonus points, and chances to win prizes to kickstart the month.

On February 1, Bilt Rewards members will enjoy double points on non-rent spending with their Bilt co-branded credit card (though they must use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points), free SoulCycle rides and Rumble Boxing classes, and even a chance to have their rent paid (see rewards & benefits).

Bilt Rent Day: February 2025 Edition

You don’t need a Bilt World Elite Mastercard^® to enjoy Bilt Rent Day. Everyone can access the perks by signing up for a free Bilt Rewards account. However, having the Bilt Card in your wallet means you’ll earn double points on the first of the month, excluding rent. Just note that you must use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points (see rewards & benefits).

Avianca LifeMiles Transfer Bonus

There’s a lot to love about Avianca’s LifeMiles program. The Colombian airline is a Star Alliance member, and its loyalty program is highly regarded for its quality award redemption pricing and lack of fuel surcharges or high cash copays when it’s time to use your miles.

On February 1, 2025, you’ll get up to a 100% transfer bonus from Bilt to LifeMiles, depending on your Bilt Rewards elite status tier.

The transfer bonus will be active from 12 a.m. ET until 11:59 p.m. PT on February 1. To transfer, you’ll need to have a LifeMiles account, and you can transfer in increments of 1,000 Bilt Points. Bilt Blue members must transfer at least 2,000 points.

Normally, transfers from Bilt to LifeMiles occur at a 1:1 ratio, so you could get as many as 2 LifeMiles per 1 Bilt point on February 1.

Hot Tip:

There are numerous great ways to redeem Avianca LifeMiles. Some of our favorites include booking Lufthansa first class, flying from the U.S. to Europe in business class, and flying to either Oceania or Southeast Asia (or both!) in economy class.

J Balvin Tickets and Tour-Inspired Coffee

Bilt has a limited-edition collaboration to celebrate J Balvin’s Back to the Rayo tour: a package offering 2 Back to the Rayo tour tickets plus Colombian coffee.

All proceeds will go to Vibra En Alta, J Balvin’s nonprofit organization focused on uplifting people through music, education, and connections.

By purchasing a canister of coffee, you’ll get 2 floor seats at a Back to the Rayo tour location of your choice. The cost is 10,000 Bilt points or $200, though the packages are valued at over $400. A limited quantity of tickets will be available through these packages for Bilt members.

Rent Free Game Show

Answer questions correctly for your chance to win free rent! This month’s Rent Free Game Show will feature Grammy award winner and Latin music star J Balvin.

You can log into your Bilt app to access the game as of January 27 at noon ET. The top 10 scoring players will be January’s winners and get free rent (up to $2,500). The next 500 top scorers will earn bonus Bilt Rewards points.

The game will be available until 3 p.m. ET on February 1, and answers will be revealed an hour later at 4 p.m.

Rent Day for Bilt Cardholders

Although the Bilt Card has a $0 annual fee (rates & fees), it delivers a solid return on spending:

• 3x points on dining
• 2x points on travel
• 1x points on other purchases (including rent, up to 100,000 points in a calendar year)
• Use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points (see rewards & benefits)

With February Rent Day, cardholders can earn double points on all purchases for 24 hours starting on February 1 at 12 a.m. ET — up to 1,000 bonus points. This brings earnings up to:

• 6x points on dining
• 4x points on travel
• 2x points on other purchases (excluding rent)
• Use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points (see rewards & benefits)

This puts the Bilt Card at the top of the heap for earning at restaurants. Since we value Bilt Rewards points at 1.8 cents apiece, you’ll get a 10.8% return on dining spend on February 1. And don’t forget about Bilt Dining, which can boost earnings up to 16x points per dollar!

In contrast, the American Express^® Gold Card earns 4x Membership Rewards points per $1 spent at restaurants worldwide (up to $50,000 of annual spending, then 1x thereafter). We value Amex Membership Rewards points at 2.2 cents apiece, which means you get 8.8% back when using the Amex Gold card.

Considering Bilt’s transfer partners include World of Hyatt and Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, Rent Day is a valuable proposition for cardholders.

Final Thoughts

Bilt Rent Day continues to be a great day to earn and burn some valuable Bilt Rewards points. This month’s LifeMiles transfer bonus makes your Bilt Rewards points go even further, and other recurring promotions are back again in February.
