Bilt Rent Day September 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 has an excellent transfer bonus for September with up to a 100% transfer bonus to Virgin Red.
If you’ve never heard of Virgin Red, don’t worry. It is Virgin’s points currency for Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Hotels and Virgin Cruises. So you can use these points for any of these partners, but obviously we’ll be using them for flights.
Virgin Red Transfer Bonus
Starting on September 1st, 2025, Bilt is offering a transfer bonus to Virgin Red of up to 100%. Unlike other Rent Day promotions, this is targeted and has nothing to do with your Bilt status. So you’ll need to log in to your Bilt account to see what you get.
I only got targeted with a 40% bonus but hopefully you get a better one!
Earn a Targeted Transfer Bonus to Virgin Red
Virgin has an incredible business class which they call Upper Class. Their award flight pricing can be among the cheapest out there but be aware of their high taxes and fees. With over $583 in taxes and fees each way, I tend to think of these as a mileage upgrade when buying an economy flight for cash.The cheapest Upper Class will be is around 29,000 miles but you can also get an economy class flight for only 6,000 miles. If you are targeted for a 100% bonus, you’ll only need 14,500 miles for Upper Class or 4,500 for coach and 5,250 for Premium Economy!

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 Virgin Red of up to 100%. This is a targeted bonus so check your Bilt account to see what you get!
