October 1 marks another Bilt Rent Day for Bilt Rewards members, presenting many promotions and opportunities to maximize your points and rewards. As always, you can earn double points on non-rent purchases, partake in a themed SoulCycle class, join the Bilt Neighborhood Dining Series and test your luck with the Rent Free game. New this month, Bilt members can enjoy a Hilton status match, a special Virgin Voyages offer and exclusive targeted benefits for select cardholders.

For the Hilton status match, Bilt members can activate this offer in the app or on the website from October 1, 2024, midnight EDT to October 2, 2024, 2:59 a.m. EDT. Achieving Hilton Gold status through December 31, 2024, with the potential to extend this status until March 31, 2026, could bring substantial benefits like an 80% bonus on points, room upgrades and complimentary food and beverage credits. Additionally, Bilt Platinum members who complete at least 10 nights by year-end can upgrade to Hilton Diamond status and receive even greater perks.

Alongside these benefits, Bilt has collaborated with Virgin Voyages again, allowing members to book select cruises with onboard benefits and a second guest free of charge.

Our Take

It’s always fun to see what kinds of surprises Bilt Rent Day will bring. This October Rent Day provides new ways to maximize your travel rewards.

The Hilton status match is a golden opportunity—quite literally—for members looking to elevate their travel experiences. Securing Hilton Gold status qualifies you for amenities like bonus points and complimentary breakfast (though the breakfast options may vary based on hotel), translating to a more comfortable and rewarding stay.

As for Bilt’s renewed partnership with Virgin Voyages this month, the no-cost inclusion of a second guest and additional onboard benefits make these cruises exceedingly attractive.
