Bilt’s monthly Rent Day deals have been revealed, featuring offers on Virgin cruises, a Blade helicopter party, and discounted fine dining. The usual double points on their credit card, SoulCycle offers, and a game show to win cash for rent are also included.

A Bilt member expressed appreciation for the dining deals but noted a preference for transfer bonuses to airlines and status deals.

Virgin Voyages is offering Bilt members various benefits including a free guest, premium WiFi, daily specialty coffees, a $100 bar tab credit, complimentary laundry services, unlimited group workouts, essential drinks, entertainment and events onboard, access to an exclusive cocktail event, priority boarding at the start of the trip, and dedicated support. Bookings open from July 26 at 9:00 am Eastern through August 1 at 11:59 pm Pacific. Benefits can be requested in the Bilt app by entering relevant details in the Virgin Voyages Travel Experience tab.
