Bilt Rent Day (June 1): Up to a 125% transfer bonus and more


Bilt launches special promotions on or around the first of each month. For this upcoming Bilt Rent Day, members can enjoy a transfer bonus to TAP Air Portugal of up to 125%.

As on previous Rent Days, Bilt cardholders can also snag double points for nonrent purchases (up to 1,000 bonus Bilt Points) and play the “Rent Free” game.

Here’s what you need to know about the Bilt Rent Day promotions for June.

Status-based transfer bonus

You can normally transfer Bilt Points to TAP Air Portugal at a 1:1 ratio, but here’s how the June 1 transfer bonus breaks down based on Bilt status:

  • Blue: 25% bonus
  • Silver: 50% bonus
  • Gold: 75% bonus
  • Platinum: 100% bonus

However, only the first 100,000 Bilt points you transfer on June 1 are eligible for the bonus.

Bilt members can redeem $150 of Bilt Cash* to enjoy the transfer bonus of the next-highest tier. Plus, Bilt Platinum members can redeem $150 of Bilt Cash to get a 125% transfer bonus. This will only make sense to do, though, when transferring enough Bilt points to recoup the cost of the Bilt Cash you’d be redeeming.

*Up to $100 of Bilt Cash earned rolls over to the next year.

Extra points on nonrent purchases

As on previous Bilt Rent Days, you’ll earn double points from June 1 at midnight EDT until June 2 at 2:59 a.m. EDT when you use your Bilt card to make nonhousing purchases. You’ll earn as follows for purchases with your Bilt card each Rent Day:

  • Bilt Blue Card (see rates and fees): 2 points per dollar spent on everyday purchases (regularly 1 point per dollar), up to 1,000 bonus points
  • Bilt Obsidian Card (see rates and fees): 6 points per dollar spent on your selected category of dining or groceries (regularly 3 points per dollar; grocery has a $25,000 spending cap annually, then 1 point per dollar), 4 points per dollar spent on travel (regularly 2 points per dollar) and 2 points per dollar spent on other everyday purchases (regularly 1 point per dollar), up to 1,000 bonus points

‘Rent Free’ game

In August 2023, Bilt launched a new way to win free rent (up to $2,500) for a month: the “Rent Free” game show. Bilt has since offered the “Rent Free” game show each Rent Day, with a new creator or personality taking the stage each month. This month’s guest is Madonna.

You can visit the Bilt app to play the game between May 27 at noon EDT and June 1 at 3 p.m. EDT. Then, return to the app after June 1 at 4 p.m. EDT to see your score.

You’ll earn points by matching your answers in the game show with the celebrity guest’s. The top 10 winners will have their rent paid for a month (up to $2,500). Plus, Bilt will add an additional rent winner for every answer Madonna gets correct. The next 100 winners will earn 1,000 Bilt points, while the next 500 winners after that will earn 100 points.

Bilt members can also buy a custom vinyl of Madonna’s Confessions II before it drops while supplies last. This exclusive custom vinyl for Bilt members goes on sale May 27 at 9 a.m. EDT and costs $19.95, including shipping (which will occur on or around July 3).

The Wells Fargo Autograph Journey℠ Card (see rates and fees) comes with a generous welcome offer of 60,000 bonus points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. This card is the mid-tier version of the Wells Fargo Autograph® Card (see rates and fees), which is currently offering 20,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.

With the Autograph Journey, you’ll enjoy perks like a $50 annual statement credit for airfare purchases (with a $50 minimum airline purchase) and bonus points on travel and dining purchases. The latter is a benefit of the Autograph Card as well, though select travel categories, like hotels and airfare, earn fewer points per dollar spent with the no-annual-fee card.

Previously, Wells Fargo Rewards points earned with Wells Fargo credit cards could only be redeemed at 1 cent each, making the Autograph Journey bonus worth $600 and the Autograph Card bonus worth $200. However, Wells Fargo introduced a number of travel transfer partners that allow you to use your rewards points with eight frequent flyer programs and two hotel loyalty programs for better value (up to $960 and $320, respectively, when redeemed for travel).

Here is everything you need to know about Wells Fargo’s transfer partners so you can get the most value out of your hard-earned Wells Fargo points.

Who are the Wells Fargo transfer partners?

You can transfer Wells Fargo points to the following programs at a 1:1 ratio (unless otherwise noted):

Aer Lingus, British Airways and Iberia all use Avios as their program currency. They can be transferred between any of these programs (including Finnair Plus and Qatar Airways Privilege Club) in any direction at a 1:1 rate; so, even if only one of these three programs was a Wells Fargo transfer partner, you could still easily transfer Avios to all three of the programs, as well as to Finnair Plus and Qatar Airways Privilege Club.

Similarly, you can link your Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and Virgin Red accounts to transfer your Virgin points between both programs. If you want to book Virgin Atlantic flights, you can use Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Virgin Red offers members the chance to redeem rewards for other trip details, such as food tours, excursions and hotel stays.

How do I transfer Wells Fargo points to partners?

Once you have earned Wells Fargo points from an Autograph card at the end of each billing cycle, they will be available in your Wells Fargo account. You could elect to redeem them through the Wells Fargo Rewards portal at 1 cent each or transfer them to one of the partner programs above at a 1:1 rate (except for Choice Privileges and Wyndham Rewards, which are 1:2).

You must first link any transfer partners in your Wells Fargo account by adding their membership numbers so you can easily transfer to them.

Thankfully, unlike other transferable currencies, there’s no minimum transfer amount, and you aren’t limited to specific increments. In fact, you could transfer just a single point if needed. This allows you to transfer the exact number you need for your specific redemption — rather than being forced to round up to the next multiple of 1,000, which can leave you with orphaned points or miles in a loyalty account.

Transfers are not reversible, so make sure you want to proceed before making the transfer.

What are the best Wells Fargo transfer partners?

There are great ways to maximize the value of Wells Fargo transfer partners. Here are some of our favorites:

  • British Airways Club members can book American Airlines and Alaska Airlines partner flights traveling up to 650 miles within North America for 13,500 Avios on all dates, plus taxes and fees of just $5.60. An example of such a route includes flying from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to San Diego International Airport (SAN). Since American operates using dynamic pricing, redeeming Avios could be significantly cheaper and a better use of your rewards. However, it’s always best to double-check before transferring and redeeming your points.
  • Iberia Club business class to Europe costs just 40,500 Avios (plus reasonable taxes and fees) each way on off-peak dates for the following routes: Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in Costa Rica, Dulles International Airport (IAD) near Washington, D.C., and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD).
  • Flying Blue prices its awards dynamically; however, the program has now standardized saver-level pricing for all one-way flights between the U.S. and Europe, regardless of origin or destination. This means you can connect at no extra cost from as little as 25,000 miles in economy, 40,000 miles in premium economy or 60,000 miles in business class. Also, check out the program’s Promo Rewards, where select routes are discounted even further.
  • Virgin Atlantic Flying Club does impose high surcharges on its award tickets, but you can find great deals, such as flying from the East Coast to the U.K. during off-peak dates for just 6,000 points. Plus, if you book a partner award redemption, such as a main cabin Delta Air Lines flight from the U.S. to Europe, you’ll pay significantly lower surcharges. While the flight will cost you more Virgin points, it’s likely to be far fewer points than Delta SkyMiles charges its own members for the exact same flight.
  • Choice Privileges has well-located properties in Europe and Japan for 12,000 points or less per night. Choice points can also provide great value in the U.S. For example, some solid-value Choice Hotels are near national parks and in large cities.

Remember, transfers are irreversible, so it’s important to double-check airline and hotel availability before proceeding.

Bottom line

The Wells Fargo transfer partner list may be small, but there are some excellent redemption options. Additionally, the ability to transfer points in any amount provides valuable flexibility that other credit card currencies lack.

We hope this transfer partner list will continue to grow and that the product evolves.
