Bilt Rent Day Avios Transfer Bonus for May 2026
For May's Rent Day, you can get a bonus of up to 100% when you transfer your Bilt Rewards Points to Avios — including British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus. Outside of Rent Day, Bilt members can transfer rewards to any of these programs at a 1:1 ratio.
But on May 1, Bilt members will receive up to a 100% transfer bonus, depending on their elite status:
- 40% bonus for Blue members (5:7 ratio)
- 50% bonus for Silver members (2:3 ratio)
- 60% bonus for Gold members (5:8 ratio)
- 75% bonus for Platinum members (4:7 ratio)
Want to unlock a higher transfer ratio? You can also use your Bilt Cash to temporarily upgrade your status. It costs $150 Bilt Cash to upgrade one tier. Blue can buy up to Silver, Silver can buy up to Gold, and Gold can buy up to Platinum.
If you're a Platinum member, you can use your Bilt Cash to upgrade to a 100% Avios transfer bonus.
Members can not increase more than one status tier. The next status tier does not apply after May 1, as the transfer bonus is available on that day only. If you try to make a transfer before the 1st, you will receive a warning advising you to wait a few days.
Note that you're limited to transferring 100,000 base Bilt Points in total during Rent Day, regardless of how you split the transfer across the three eligible programs.
Other Rent Day Bonuses
Earn bonus points on Home Delivery
Bilt Home Delivery is fulfilled by Gopuff. Normally, when you place an order for Home Delivery through the Bilt app, you'll earn 1 Bilt Point per $1 spent. However, during Rent Week, all Bilt members will earn 10X Bilt Points on orders. The offer is valid beginning on April 27 at 9:00 a.m. ET through May 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT. If you need to boost your point balance, ordering groceries and earning 10X Bilt Points is a great way to do so.
Targeted Rakuten offer
A targeted group of members will receive an offer to earn 500 bonus points when they link their Rakuten account on Rent Day. It will be available only to members with existing Rakuten accounts. It was only a matter of time for a promotion like this to come around, considering that Rakuten added Bilt as an earning partner in November 2025. If you are targeted for the offer, don't forget to link your accounts on May 1 to score your bonus points.

Bilt “Rent Free” Game Show: Win up to a Free Month of Rent
The “Rent Free” game show is back and better than ever. Each month features a different celebrity host. This month, the legendary actress Anne Hathaway will host the show. This month offers a twist similar to last month — Anne Hathaway will also be playing, and the better she does, the more members win free rent. Plus, Anne's partnership with Bilt goes far beyond the game show.
On May 1, the top ten scorers will receive a month of rent, up to $2,500, with an additional rent winner added for every correct answer Anne gets, up to 19 possible winners. The next 100 best scorers will receive 1,000 Bilt Points, and the next 500 players will earn 100 Bilt Points.
Starting Monday, April 27, at noon ET, members can try to guess the top three answers to the posed questions. As usual, each member will get one sweepstakes entry for each correct answer (up to three entries). Submit your answers in the Bilt app by Friday, May 1, at 3:00 p.m. ET. Check the Bilt app at 4:00 p.m. to see your results.
There are three ways you can score during the game:
- Correctly pick one of the top three answers.
- Correctly rank that answer on the board for 2X Points.
- If the celebrity guest picks the same answer as you did, receive 3X Points.
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” Bilt member screenings
In addition to hosting Rent Free, Anne Hathaway's partnership with Bilt gives members an opportunity to use points to see “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in theaters on the premiere night, which just so happens to be on Rent Day.

Styling Session with Erin Walsh

Members will be flown to New York and enjoy the session at selected neighborhood boutiques and shops to build a new wardrobe.
