Bilt Rewards is back with several Rent Day promotions for Jan. 1, 2023. Here’s what you need to know if you participate in the Bilt Rewards program.

If you’re good at trivia, you can boost your Bilt Rewards balance on Jan. 1, 2023. In particular, Bilt Rewards will give its members 10 trivia questions through its app on Jan. 1. You’ll get 50 points per correct answer. And, if you get all 10 questions correct, Bilt will unlock an 11th question worth 100 Bilt points.

So, you could earn up to 600 Bilt points instantly on Jan. 1 if you get all 11 trivia questions correct.

Double Bilt points on non-rent purchases

As on previous Bilt Rent Days, you’ll earn double points when you use your Bilt Mastercard® to make non-rent purchases between midnight ET and 11:59 p.m. PT on Jan. 1, 2023. You’ll earn as follows for purchases you make on Rent Day:

  • Dining: 6 points per dollar spent.
  • Travel: 4 points per dollar spent.
  • Other purchases (excluding rent): 2 points per dollar spent.

You can earn up to 10,000 bonus points during the Jan. 1 Rent Day. However, remember that you must use your Bilt Mastercard at least five times each statement period to earn points. And if you are currently earning bonus points through the “5X for 5 Days” promotion, you aren’t eligible for this promotion.

Finally, Bilt will offer its monthly Rent Day SoulCycle rides on Jan. 1. To participate, buy a SoulCycle class series and book a bike in a Rent Day Ride-themed class at one of the 56 participating locations. Once you do so, you can bring a companion on your Jan. 1 ride for no additional cost. The companion must fill out a form with their email, cellphone number and full name before being booked into your class.

Bottom line

If you’re a Bilt Rewards member, you can ring in the new year with a bang, thanks to Bilt’s January Rent Day promotions. Whether you earn extra rewards through trivia, spending or both, Bilt Rewards’ first Rent Day of 2023 provides an opportunity to boost your points balance.
