April Bilt Rent Day: Avios Transfer Bonus, Lyft 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 100% bonus when using points for Lyft rides and up to a 100% bonus on transfers to 3 airlines using Avios as their rewards currency.

Additionally, there are offers for exclusive dining experiences and comedy shows, complimentary fitness classes, free coffee, and even free rent.

Bilt took the points world by storm with its $0-annual-fee credit card (rates & fees), top-tier transfer partners, and no transaction fees on rent payments. Bilt first introduced Rent Day in 2022, which gives its members exciting offers, bonus points, and chances to win prizes to kickstart the month.

On April 1, Bilt Rewards members will enjoy double points on non-rent spending, up to 1,000 points per Rent Day, 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 Barry’s exercise classes, and even a chance to have their rent paid (see rewards & benefits).

Bilt Rent Day: April 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, up to 1,000 points, excluding rent. Just note that you must use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points (see rewards & benefits).

Avios Transfer Bonus

There are multiple airlines using Avios as their rewards currency, including Aer Lingus, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, and Qatar Airways. Among Bilt’s transfer partners, you’ll find 3 of those airlines: Aer Lingus, British Airways, and Iberia.

On April 1, 2025, you’ll get up to a 100% transfer bonus from Bilt to these 3 programs, 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 April 1. To transfer, you’ll need to have an account with the rewards program you want to transfer to, 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 British Airways, Aer Lingus, and Iberia occur at a 1:1 ratio. With this transfer bonus, you could get as many as 2 Avios points per 1 Bilt Point on April 1.

Hot Tip:

There are numerous great ways to redeem Avios, though options can vary from program to program. Check out our guides to the best uses of British Airways Avios, Aer Lingus Avios, and Iberia Avios.

100% Redemption Bonus on Lyft Rides

Bilt recently added the ability to use points on Lyft rides, and this feature is included in April’s Rent Day promotion. From 9 a.m. ET on March 26 until 11:59 p.m. PT on April 1, Bilt Rewards members can redeem points in the Lyft app (iOS, Android) to get a ride with up to a 100% bonus.

Blue and Silver members get a 50% bonus, while Gold and Platinum members get a 100% bonus. The updated redemption value will be displayed in the Lyft app when you choose to use points to pay for your ride.

Normally, points are worth 0.7 cents apiece toward Lyft rides, but this offer makes them worth 1.05 or 1.4 cents each, depending on your bonus tier. We value Bilt Rewards points at 1.8 cents apiece, so using them here — even with the bonus — isn’t ideal.

Bilt Neighborhood Café x Chloe in NYC

Bilt recently opened a new Bilt Neighborhood Café in Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood, featuring Maman’s food and drinks. On Rent Day, you can celebrate with a complimentary black coffee (available hot or iced) and a surprise item when you show your Bilt Rewards membership in the Bilt app (iOS, Android).

The offer is available while supplies last.

The Bilt Neighborhood Café is located at 31 Bond Street, New York, NY. The closest subway station is Bleecker Street on the 6 train, though there are multiple other stops within a few blocks of the location.

Neighborhood Dining Experience

This Rent Day, Bilt is continuing its dining experiences and launching the first event in Cambridge. Other locations include Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Miami, New York City, and Washington, D.C.

Sales start on March 27, 2025, at 11:50 a.m. ET for Platinum members and at noon ET for other members. All sales are final. Booking closes on March 31 at noon ET.

Bilt Neighborhood Comedy

Bilt is continuing — and expanding — its comedy series, now offering experiences at 11 locations in 7 different cities. Philadelphia will see its first such experience this month.

Cities with events this month include Boston, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia, Nashville, New York City, and Washington, D.C.

Tickets start at $75 or 5,000 Bilt Points each. For Platinum members, seats will be available in the Bilt Rewards app at 11:50 a.m. ET on March 27, 2025, and for everyone else at noon ET. All sales are final, and booking closes at noon ET on March 31.

Barry’s x Bilt Rent Day

Bilt is collaborating with Barry’s, a well-known HIIT fitness brand. Members can reserve a complimentary class at 5 locations directly via the Bilt Rewards app. Members will also enjoy a complimentary post-workout shake. Eligible locations include:

• NoHo or Flatiron (New York City)
• Dupont Circle (Washington, D.C.)
• Denver
• FiDi (San Francisco)

Platinum and Gold members are invited to book their complimentary class starting at 10:50 a.m. ET on March 27, 2025. After that, other members can reserve their spots starting at 11 a.m. Barry’s classes can’t be canceled, and not attending may incur a $30 fee.

SoulCycle Rent Day Ride

Rent Day Rides — 45-minute, full-body indoor cycling classes — are back on April 1 at 50+ SoulCycle studios nationwide.

You can book your slot starting at 11 a.m. ET on March 27, 2025 — or 10 minutes earlier at 10:50 a.m. ET for Bilt Rewards Platinum and Gold members. Additionally, all members can receive a complimentary bike in the themed class when booking directly through the Bilt Rewards app.

Additionally, 1 Rent Day rider will have the lucky fortune of having their rent paid (up to $2,500).

These SoulCycle bookings can’t be canceled, and not showing up may result in a $30 fee. If you’re new to SoulCycle, check out Bilt’s guide to get ready for your ride.

Rent Free Game Show

Answer questions correctly for your chance to win free rent! This month’s Rent Free Game Show will feature comedian Chris Distefano.

You can log into your Bilt app to access the game as of March 26 at noon ET. The top 10 scoring players will be April’s winners and get free rent (up to $2,500). The next 1,000 top scorers will earn bonus Bilt Points.

The game will be available until 3 p.m. ET on April 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 April’s Rent Day, cardholders can earn double points on all purchases for 24 hours starting on April 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 Points at 1.8 cents apiece, you’ll get a 10.8% return on dining spend on April 1. And don’t forget about Bilt Dining, which can boost earnings up to 16x points per $1 spent!

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). 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 Points. This month’s Avios transfer bonuses make your Bilt Points go even further, and other recurring promotions are back again in April.
