Bilt Rent Day November 2025
The Bilt Mastercard is an incredible no annual fee card especially for those who rent. It allows you to pay your rent on your credit card even if your landlord doesn’t accept credit card payments, all for no fee.
On the first of each month, Bilt offers a promotion where you get double points (excluding rent) as well as different transfer bonus opportunities or status with hotels and airlines. Bilt’s transfer bonus for November is to Etihad with an up to 100% bonus.
Etihad Transfer Bonus
Starting on November 1st, 2025, Bilt is offering a transfer bonus to Etihad of up to 100% depending on your Bilt status.
Earn up to a 100% Transfer Bonus to Etihad
Etihad has an absolutely incredible first class which we flew from JFK to Abu Dhabi on our way to Japan last March. Their first class awards start at 180,000 points per person and I booked that while Citi had a 40% bonus. However, those are few and far between.
Etihad First Class Apartments
I have been seeing the occasional business class award seats on JetBlue and American that are bookable for 80,000 Etihad miles so with this bonus you could fly across to Europe for only 40,000 Bilt points. But the best use is for premium cabins on Etihad directly. However, they do impose some pretty high taxes and fees and their award pricing isn’t that great when you can find available seats.
Keep in mind, Etihad has a pretty terrible cancellation policy where you’ll only be refunded between 25% and 75% of your miles depending on how far in advance you cancel. Additionally Etihad Guest Miles expire after just 18 months without a flight on Etihad or a partner airline.
Earn 2-6x Bilt Points on Rent Day Purchases
On every day besides the 1st of every month, you earn the following:
3x points on dining
2x points on travel
1x points on all other purchases
From 12am EST to 11:59pm PST every purchase you make will receive double points. So for those roughly 27 hours you’ll earn the following:
6x points on dining
4x points on travel
2x points on all other purchases
1x points on rent (this is never doubled)
Earn Double Bilt Points on the First of the Month
On the first of every month, this card turns into one of the best cards out there, certainly for dining, most travel (airfare is still best on the American Express Platinum earning 5x points), and all other purchases. Even if you don’t rent, this card still makes a lot of sense to pick up.
With this offer, you can earn up to 1,000 bonus points each month. Now keep in mind, to earn points on your rent payments you need to make at least 5 transactions per month so you could strategically make those 5 purchases (if not more) on Rent Day.
Wrapping Up
Bilt is offering a bonus when transferring points to Etihad of up to 100%. This is based on your Bilt status. With Etihad’s terrible cancellation and points expiration policy, I would not recommend speculatively transferring points.
