September 1 Rent Day marks a significant change for Bilt Mastercard users. It is the final occasion where cardholders can earn double points on up to 10,000 points, including tax payments. Starting October 1, the bonus will be capped at 1,000 additional points, and tax payments will no longer count.
One user noted the high value of Rent Day: "I’ve found Rent Day to be highly lucrative, and I’ve often maxed out this bonus." The Bilt Mastercard earns double points on travel and triple points on dining, translating to six points per dollar at restaurants on the first of each month. Many users purchase restaurant gift cards to maximize their rewards.
Another user shared their strategy: "Personally I’m happy earning 2 Bilt points per dollar because I value a single Bilt point more than one of any other currency." This individual saves large bills like homeowner’s insurance and car insurance for payment on the first of the month to benefit from double points.
