Bilt Rent Day (March 1): Up to a 125% transfer bonus and new neighborhood experiences

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 Japan Airlines Mileage Bank transfer bonus of 25% to 100%. Plus, Bilt members can use $135 of Bilt Cash to unlock a higher transfer bonus of up to 125%.

As on previous Rent Days, Bilt cardholders can 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 March.

Status-based transfer bonus

Bilt is offering its members a status-based transfer bonus March 1. You can normally transfer Bilt points to Japan Airlines Mileage Bank at a 1:1 ratio.

Here's how the status-based transfer bonuses break down based on Bilt Rewards status:

• Blue: 25% bonus
• Silver: 50% bonus
• Gold: 75% bonus
• Platinum: 100% bonus

Bilt members can redeem $135 of Bilt Cash to enjoy the transfer bonus of the next-highest tier. Plus, Bilt Platinum members can redeem $135 of Bilt Cash to get a 125% transfer bonus.

However, this will only make sense if you're transferring enough Bilt points to recoup the cost of the Bilt Cash you'd be redeeming. TPG's February 2026 valuations value Bilt points at 2.2 cents each. And while TPG's valuations don't include Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, you can usually get at least 1.2 cents per mile.

If we assume a valuation of 1.2 cents per Japan Airlines mile and a 100% transfer bonus, you'd be converting $220 worth of Bilt points into $240 of Japan Airlines miles if you transfer 10,000 Bilt points.

Of course, it's possible to get much more than 1.2 cents per mile when redeeming Japan Airlines miles for some redemptions. So, be sure to have a redemption you want to book and do the math before transferring Bilt points during this transfer bonus.

Note that if your Japan Airlines Mileage Bank account is less than 60 days old, there will be up to a seven-day hold before you can redeem your Japan Airlines Mileage Bank miles to book award flights.

As on previous Bilt Rent Days, you'll earn double points from March 1 at midnight EST until March 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), 4 points per dollar spent on travel (regularly 2 points per dollar) and 2 points per dollar spent on other everyday 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 chef Thomas Keller.

You can visit the Bilt app to play the game between Feb. 25 at noon EST and March 1 at 3 p.m. EST. Then, return to the app after March 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). The next 100 winners will earn 1,000 Bilt points, while the next 500 winners after that will earn 100 points. Plus, all "Rent Free" winners will get one of Keller's collections, which includes Cup4Cup's gluten-free chocolate brownie mix, Cup4Cup's gluten-free yellow cake mix and K+M Chocolate's extra-virgin milk chocolate.

Even if you aren't a "Rent Free" winner, you can still buy one of Keller's collections through the Bilt Collection starting Feb. 25 at 9 a.m. EST. These collections, which you can purchase for 1,500 Bilt points or $20 plus shipping, are available while supplies last. However, close friends and Platinum members will get a credit to use when buying a collection. Once you place an order, it should ship within one to two weeks.

March Rent Day neighborhood experiences

Each Rent Day, Bilt offers various neighborhood experiences you can book. Here's what you need to know about the neighborhood experiences available this Rent Day.

The March comedy show lineup includes some traditional comedy club experiences, which cost $30 to $40 or 2,000 to 2,500 Bilt points per person and include two drinks. However, the lineup also includes bespoke comedy experiences at unique venues, priced at $75 or 5,000 Bilt points per person; these experiences also come with drinks and light bites. You can apply up to $50 of Bilt Cash to one comedy experience (the remainder must be paid in cash).

Bookings close when reservations sell out or at 3 p.m. EST the day of each show, whichever occurs first.

Dining experiences

Bilt is offering its Neighborhood Dining experiences at 36 restaurants in nine cities on March 1. Each dining experience costs $30 to $75 per person and includes a three- to four-course tasting menu or omakase, depending on the venue. You can also add on a drink package during booking for $20 to $46 per person.

Each Bilt member can buy up to four seats; bookings open Feb. 26 at 11:50 a.m. EST for Platinum and Gold Bilt members and at noon EST for other members. Bookings close when reservations sell out or Feb. 28 at 5 p.m. EST, whichever occurs first.

Specifically, 875 bikes are available for Rent Day SoulCycle classes, and 520 spots are available for Barry's Rent Day classes.

Bookings for these experiences become available Feb. 26 at 11:50 a.m. EST for Platinum and Gold members and at noon EST for other members. However, once you book a Rent Day fitness class, you can't cancel and will face a fee if you don't attend. Bookings close Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. EST or when they sell out, whichever occurs first.

Bilt Neighborhood Cafe

Bilt has a neighborhood cafe at 31 Bond St. in New York City. On March 1, Bilt members can stop by between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST for a complimentary K+M Chocolate milk coffee and sea salt chocolate, and drip coffee, while supplies last.
