Bilt bonus points offer with Lyft

Did you know you can use your Bilt points to pay for rides with Lyft? It’s true, and this month you can even stretch your Bilt points further when you redeem them for an eligible Lyft ride.

Through April 1, Bilt members can redeem Bilt points for eligible Lyft rides and get up to 100 percent more value for their points. The exact amount of bonus value you’ll receive is based on your Bilt status and is broken down as follows:

To take advantage of this bonus, you must first link your Bilt and Lyft accounts. Then, choose to pay with Bilt points when ordering your Lyft ride. The bonus will automatically be applied to your redemption.

This promotion runs through April 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT. and is only available for point redemptions of up to $5,000 in equivalent spending. Your Bilt account must be open and not in default at the time of redemption to qualify, and you will not earn any Bilt points when redeeming Bilt points for rides.

Bilt neighborhood cafe

As part of April Rent Day, when you drop by Bilt’s neighborhood cafe in New York City, you can enjoy a complimentary hot or iced coffee and a free food item. This offer is good from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET on April 1 for the first 1,000 members through the door. Simply show your membership in the Bilt app when you arrive.

Note that reservations for SoulCycle Rent Day Rides and Barry’s Rent Day Classes are final, and you will be charged a $30 fee if you don’t attend. You will also be prohibited from booking future SoulCycle or Barry’s classes on Rent Day.

Exclusive dining and comedy experiences

For Bilt’s April Rent Day, Bilt members can enjoy exclusive dining and comedy experiences at some of their favorite neighborhood spots in these select cities:

• Atlanta

• Boston

• Cambridge, MA

• Charlotte

• Dallas

• Houston

• Los Angeles

• Miami

• Nashville

• New York

• Philadelphia

• Washington, D.C.

Reservations are open by status level and available on a first-come, first-served basis using Bilt points or an eligible card linked to the member’s Bilt account.

For April Rent Day, neighborhood dining redemptions and comedy experiences start at 2,500 Bilt points each or $40 per person. These reservations tend to book quickly, so act fast if you’re interested. Remember, all sales are final.

Double credit card rewards

Renters can earn more rewards with Bilt’s rewards credit card on the first of the month. Bilt Mastercard cardholders earn double the points on non-rent purchases made with the card for up to 1,000 bonus points, including:

• 6X points on dining (normally 3X points)

• 4X points on travel (normally 2X points)

• 2X points on other purchases, excluding rent (normally 1X points)

This offer starts at midnight Eastern on April 1 and runs through 11:59 p.m. PT. As a reminder, to earn points you need to use your Bilt Mastercard at least five times per month.

Remember, though, Bilt points are only worth about 0.55 cents each when redeemed for rent. Therefore, 1,000 points equals $5.50 toward rent. Other Bilt redemption options, in particular using Bilt’s transfer partners, will provide better value.

According to Bankrate’s valuations, Bilt points are worth about 2.1 cents each when transferred to a high-value travel partner.

Bilt transfer partners

As an ongoing benefit, Bilt members can transfer their Bilt rewards points to a number of different travel partners. Bilt points transfer at a 1:1 ratio to most partners, making Bilt rewards a solid travel rewards card currency to have. Some transfer partners include:

• Aer Lingus AerClub

• Air Canada Aeropla

• Air France-KLM Flying Blue

• Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan

• Avianca Lifemiles

• British Airways Executive Club

• Club Iberia Plus

• United Airlines MileagePlus

• Accor Live Limitless — ALL

• Hilton Honors

• IHG One Rewards

• Marriott Bonvoy

• World of Hyatt

The bottom line

The Bilt Mastercard is a good option for someone who pays rent with the card and maximizes the card’s extra offers and rewards opportunities. However, it’s certainly not the best rewards card for everyone. Be sure to do your homework before choosing a card to make sure it’s right for you.
