October Rent Day: Etihad Transfer Bonus
Mark your calendars if you haven’t already: Saturday, November 1 is Rent Day. As always on the first of the month, Bilt is offering:
Double points (up to 1,000 bonus points) on non-rent Bilt Mastercard spending
A chance to win free rent via the in-app Rent Free gameshow
Free coffee at Bilt HQ
Rotating special events (dining, comedy, fitness, and more)
The headline this month is a transfer bonus to Etihad. The bonus varies by Bilt status:
Etihad has some decent redemption options but also high fees and strict expiration and cancellation policies. A transfer bonus helps improve the value proposition, but it doesn’t fix those issues. But if you were already planning to use Etihad miles—or you’ve always wanted to try The Apartment and have lots of Bilt points to spare—this month’s bonus could be a solid opportunity.
I’m too lazy to figure those things out, though, so I’ll be saving my Bilt points and hoping December’s Rent Day will be more my style. 🦥
