In 2022, Bilt Rewards launched a new RENT DAY promo to reward Bilt Rewards members on the first of every month (I am a senior advisor and investor in the company). I’ve been seriously impressed with how inventive the program has been with massive transfer bonuses, rent giveaways, and now Bilt Experiences. We started the year off HOT with January featuring 75% to 150% transfer bonuses with Virgin. Flying Blue and IHG One Rewards. That was absolutely insane. BUT…February brings the same bonus levels but this time to Air Canada Aeroplan. This is next level because Aeroplan is one of the best airline programs in the world with 45 partners. Let’s take a look! Yes…you can book Lufthansa First Class and Emirates First Class with Aeroplan.
February Rent Day: 75% to 150% Transfer Bonus Aeroplan
This is by far, hands down, the best ever transfer bonus anyone has ever had to Aeroplan. These miles are exceptionally valuable because of all the various ways you can use them, which I detail down below, but also because you can add in a stopover for just 5k miles. When I say bonus…I mean this:
75% Member
1000 Bilt Rewards = 1750 Aeroplan Points
100% Silver
1000 Bilt Rewards = 2000 Aeroplan Points
125% Gold
1000 Bilt Rewards = 2250 Aeroplan Points
150% Platinum
1000 Bilt Rewards = 2500 Aeroplan Points

What can I do with Aeroplan points?
Aeroplan is one of the most valuable airline miles in the biz. They have a mileage based redemption chart which means the cost of your award ticket varies depending on the distance flown. You can also bake in a stopover for just 5k miles. Here are a few examples of great redemptions:
– North America to Europe: Business Class for 70k Miles, First Class for 100k Miles
– Within North America
– Under 500 mile flights – 6k miles in economy
– Under 1500 miles – 10k in economy, 20k in business class
– Transcon – 12.5k in economy, 25k in business class
– North America to Asia/South Pacific
– USA to Japan/Taipei/Korea
– Business Class 75k, First Class 110k
– USA to most of Asia
– 85k in Business Class, 130k in First Class
– USA to New Zealand
– USA to Australia via Abu Dhabi
– Business Class 110k, First Class 140k
I used Aeroplan miles to book Singapore Business Class between Houston and Manchester in 2023 United’s 777 Polaris Business Class. Here’s a look at Lufthansa First Class… 100k from the US to Europe.
Bilt Rent Day Experiences: Valentine’s Day
In 2023, Bilt rolled out super exclusive and cool Rent Day Experiences that you can redeem points on, and the higher the status you have, the earlier you can gain access to securing one of these cool experiences. This February, everything is about Valentine’s Day. Note that these aren’t just reservations, these are fancy schmancy experiences like Chef’s tables, wine pairings, tasting menus, etc. Reservations will be bookable in the Bilt app on February 1st for parties of 2 (individual tables) to enjoy on February 14th. Menus will be decided in advance and promoted in the app at the time of booking.

This experience will be available for two people for a total cost of $200 or 15,000 Bilt Points.

Bilt Rewards Game Show ‘RENT FREE’
It’s a fun game to play, super easy and straightforward, and Michael Rapaport is the guest host this month. Playing off the classic Family Feud format, we’ve asked 1,000 Bilt Members some fun hypothetical questions. Your challenge will be to see how well you know your fellow Bilt Members by submitting guesses to one of these questions. If you can correctly guess three of the most popular answers, you’ll automatically be entered for the chance to get your August rent paid.
