NYC Broadway and Restaurant Week: Score early access with your Bilt Mastercard
Quick summary
TPG founder Brian Kelly is a Bilt adviser and investor.
Ahead of public sale tickets, those with Bilt and Mastercard credit cards can take advantage of two-for-one tickets for Broadway Week, running Jan. 16 to Feb. 4 in New York City.
Forty-one theaters across the Theatre District are participating this year, offering fans the opportunity to see some of Broadway's biggest shows, ranging from classics like "Chicago," "The Lion King" and "Hamilton" to more recent additions such as "Sweeney Todd" and "Kimberly Akimbo." For the presale, cardholders can select from 19 shows.
Through Jan. 4, Bilt Mastercard® (see rates and fees) credit card holders can buy one ticket and get the second free during the Bilt presale. To purchase, browse the show selection here, then click on your desired show.
From there, you'll be directed to a page to view tickets for a specific date, which will take you to a landing page of available tickets. Once on that page, enter the code "BWPRMC24" in the promo code section on the upper left of the calendar.
As you can see below, the discount is limited to certain seats, dates and times. For example, only orchestra and mezzanine tickets were discounted for the 7 p.m. "Hamilton" performance at Richard Rodgers Theatre on Jan. 16.
The two-for-one ticket presale for all other Mastercard holders begins Jan. 5 and runs through Jan. 8.
Note that there is a two-ticket minimum per purchase for discounted tickets; these tickets will be issued at 50% off their original price, plus taxes and fees, limited in quantity and for select seats and dates. Upgraded tickets are available for select seats starting at $125 per ticket with the code "BWUPMC24."
NYC Restaurant Week promo for Bilt members
Additionally, Bilt members can take advantage of NYC Restaurant Week, which two times per year, features prix-fixe menus at restaurants across the city. Participants can sample two-course lunches or three-course dinners, ranging in price from $30—$60.
This year, Bilt Mastercard holders who participate in NYC Restaurant Week, which coincides with Broadway Week, will get up to $30 in statement credit when they spend at least $45 at participating restaurants. You must register your card ahead of time and book a reservation Jan. 3—4 to be eligible for the credit, which will be distributed as three $10 credits. Additionally, Bilt members can earn bonus points when they use their eligible card at Bilt Dining restaurants participating in Restaurant Week.

Bottom line
Public Broadway Week ticket sales begin Jan. 9, at which point you can use the same code ("BWPRMC24") to purchase two-for-one tickets. Those with Bilt and/or Mastercard credit cards get the first pick through Jan. 5 and Jan. 8, respectively.
Additionally, Bilt cardholders can redeem NYC Restaurant Week promos, including booking advance reservations at participating restaurants and bonus earnings.
If you are unfamiliar, the Bilt Mastercard is the only credit card that allows cardholders to earn up to 100,000 points in a calendar year on rent payments — without being charged a transaction fee (see rates and fees). Additionally, this card earns 3 points per dollar spent on dining and 2 points per dollar spent on travel purchases, among other earnings categories. You just have to use your card five times each statement period to earn points (see rewards and benefits).
