February's Rent Day Just Got Sweeter with Bilt: The Lowdown
Bilt Rewards is an innovative rewards program that allows you to earn points by paying rent with a credit card, free from expensive service charges. Bilt organizes a special Rent Day event every month for all members of Bilt Rewards and holders of the Bilt Mastercard. This event brings ongoing perks, like the opportunity to earn double points on select purchases, as well as exclusive giveaways and activities.
The details have dropped for Bilt’s February Rent Day!
Here’s what you need to know.
Up to 150% Aeroplan transfer bonus
On February 1, 2024, when transferring Bilt points to Aeroplan, the loyalty program of Air Canada, you’ll earn a 25-75% bonus based on your tier within the Bilt loyalty program.
Blue: 75% bonus (1,000 points = 1,750 miles)

Gold: 125% bonus (1,000 points = 2,250 miles)
