Bilt Rewards, the leading loyalty program for renters, today announces the launch of its new Bilt Rent Day campaign created to reward the country's 109 million renters on the day of their largest monthly expense. On the first of every month, Bilt Rent Day will enable members to earn double points on non-rent purchases including dining, travel and all other spend, in addition to earning 1x points on rent when using the Bilt Mastercard issued by Wells Fargo. Members will also gain exclusive access to events and offers from partners such as SoulCycle, Virgin Red, and more.

The launch of the campaign comes as the cost of rent reaches a reported all-time high. According to data from Realtor.com, July 2022 marked a 17-month-in-a-row increase in the cost of monthly rent for units located within the country's 50 largest metropolitan areas. With the national median rent hitting over $2,000/month this summer, up more than 12% from a year ago, Bilt Rewards is aiming to ease the burden of paying rent.

"Rent day is not something that most people look forward to," says Bilt Rewards CEO and Founder Ankur Jain. "But our goal at Bilt is to reinvent the experience of paying rent, making the process easier and even enjoyable for our members. In addition to the points Bilt users are already earning by paying rent with Bilt Rewards, Bilt Rent Day will give people even more to look forward to on the first of every month, and we will continue to add new benefits to the program monthly to turn Rent Day into an occasion that can be celebrated."

Bilt's first Rent Day will take place on Saturday, October 1, with benefits including:

DOUBLE POINTS EARNINGS
Members with the Bilt Mastercard will earn accelerated points across all non-rent spend during the 24-hour window on the first of every month, including:

• DINING: 6x points (regularly 3x points)

• TRAVEL: 4x points (regularly 2x points)

• ALL OTHER SPEND excluding rent: 2x points (regularly 1x points)

Cardholders will receive double earnings up to 10,000 bonus points, and will also continue to earn 1x points on their rent payments when paying with the Bilt Mastercard.

SOULCYCLE X BILT RENT DAY CLASSES
Bilt Rewards is partnering with SoulCycle to host one SOUL X BILT: RENT DAY - BRING A FRIEND ON US class on the first of every month at over 50 SoulCycle locations nationwide, allowing members to book a class and receive a complimentary bike for a friend.
