Bilt Rewards, the start-up that allows renters to earn transferrable points on rent, is gearing up for the Nov. 1 edition of its monthly Rent Day promotion.
This time, members will earn double points on all non-rent purchases for 24 hours, be able to register for a United Airlines Premier elite status challenge and bring a companion to a SoulCycle class for free.
Some of the festivities start tomorrow, Oct. 27, in the Bilt Rewards app. Let’s take a closer look.

United Airlines Premier status challenge

Your Premier status will be valid for 120 days. To extend your status through Jan. 31, 2024, you’ll need to earn the following:
- Premier Silver: 1,000 Premier qualifying points (PQP) and 4 Premier qualifying flights (PQF).
