Bilt launches special promotions on or around the first of each month. For this upcoming Bilt Rent Day, members can enjoy a status-based redemption bonus on gift cards, up to $150 off a stay booked via the Bilt Travel portal and several types of neighborhood experiences.

As on previous Rent Days, Bilt cardholders can also snag double points for nonrent purchases (up to 1,000 bonus Bilt Points) and play the “Rent Free” game. Here’s what you need to know about the Bilt Rent Day promotions for November.

Bilt Travel portal hotel promotion

The highlight of this month’s Bilt Rent Day is a promotion that lets members unlock up to $150 off a hotel stay booked via the Bilt Travel portal between Oct. 28 at 9 a.m. EDT and Nov. 2 at 3 a.m. EST.

All Bilt members will see a targeted offer with three spending thresholds, each unlocking $50, $100 or $150 in savings. The amount you’ll need to spend to unlock each discount will vary by member. The spending thresholds include taxes and fees.

There aren’t any blackout dates or restrictions on the length or type of stay, though the offer applies to just one stay, and you must book through the Bilt Travel portal during this promotion. You can’t apply this offer retroactively to an existing booking.

You can combine this offer with Bilt points or Bilt Cash at checkout, but you can’t combine it with travel credits from a Bilt credit card. For Home Away from Home bookings, the credit is applied as a statement credit to the card used to pay on Bilt.

TPG’s October 2026 valuations note Bilt points are worth 2.2 cents each. So, even with the 100% redemption bonus for Platinum members, redeeming Bilt points for gift cards usually isn’t the highest-value way you can redeem your points.

Extra points on nonrent purchases

As on previous Bilt Rent Days, you’ll earn double points from Nov. 1 at midnight EDT until Nov. 2 at 2:59 a.m. EST when you use your Bilt card to make nonhousing purchases. You’ll earn as follows for purchases with your Bilt card each Rent Day:

  • Bilt Blue Card (see rates and fees): 2 points per dollar spent on everyday purchases (regularly 1 point per dollar), up to 1,000 bonus points
  • Bilt Obsidian Card (see rates and fees): 6 points per dollar spent on your selected category of dining or groceries (regularly 3 points per dollar; grocery has a $25,000 spending cap annually, then 1 point per dollar), 4 points per dollar spent on travel (regularly 2 points per dollar) and 2 points per dollar spent on all other purchases (regularly 1 point per dollar), up to 1,000 bonus points

‘Rent Free’ game

In August 2023, Bilt launched a new way to win free rent (up to $2,500) for a month: the “Rent Free” game show. Bilt has since offered the “Rent Free” game show each Rent Day, with a new creator or personality taking the stage each month. This month’s guest is Jennifer Lopez.

You can visit the Bilt app to play the game between Oct. 28 at noon EDT and Nov. 1 at 3 p.m. EST. Then, return to the app after Nov. 1 at 4 p.m. EST to see your score.

You’ll earn points by matching your answers in the game show with the celebrity guest’s. The top 10 winners will have their rent paid for a month (up to $2,500). Plus, Bilt will add additional rent winners based on how many answers Lopez gets correct. The next 100 winners will earn 1,000 Bilt points, while the next 500 winners after that will earn 100 points.
