Bilt’s November Rent Day: Up to 150% Emirates Transfer Bonus

*Your bonus will be based on your status as of 11/1. Note that Bilt Status updates are reflected up to 96 hours after any earn action.  Blue members must transfer a minimum of 2,000 Bilt Points.

This is a great offer – however you must keep in mind that Emirates recently went crazy with their surcharges on flights to and through Dubai. So for me, the best uses now are on the Newark to Athens and JFK to Milan routes. 

Per Bilt: “We’ve hand-selected ten of our favorite Bilt Dining restaurants in New York, Boston, Dallas and Miami to bring you unique dining experiences this Rent Day. Enjoy the design and intimacy of the private rooms, booked specifically for Bilt Members, at some of the most notoriously hard-to-get reservations, with chef-curated tasting menus, wine pairings, mixology showcases, and more. All dining experiences will take place at 7 p.m. local time on November 1st. Book up to two seats at dining experiences for 12,500 Bilt Points per person. Participating restaurants include:

New York

Of course, all the usual Rent Day benefits apply, such as double points on everything (except rent) and chances to play trivia for points and even win free rent.

 

While I won’t personally be transferring to Emirates, I do remain impressed with what Bilt is bringing each month, giving far more value than just points for rent!
