For those of you who are Bilt fans — whether it's because of the three new credit cards or simply the Bilt Neighborhood Benefits program — another exciting promotion is on the horizon.
Bilt partners with 25 top-tier travel programs, allowing you to transfer your points for many exciting travel opportunities. And on the first day of each month — known as Rent Day — Bilt often boosts transfer and redemption rates to select partners, giving you even more value for your points.
And this June's Rent Day promotion is a good one for those planning a European vacation. Bilt members can get up to a 125% bonus when transferring their points to TAP Air Portugal's Miles&Go program.
I've been a Bilt fan for the past few years. It's become one of my go-to travel programs — especially due to the strong partnerships and redemption value. And with the Bilt Neighborhood Benefits program, you can earn points whenever you shop at partner merchants with any credit or debit card linked to your Bilt account — you don't even need a Bilt credit card.

In case you missed it...
The loophole I use to get 5x on almost every purchaseIf you aren't signed up for the Bilt program yet, joining is free, and it takes just a few minutes to enroll and link your cards to your account. To sign up, all you need to do is go to Bilt's website and click the "Sign up" button.
Once you’re signed up, earning points couldn’t be easier. Just link any card you regularly use to your Bilt Wallet, and you'll automatically start earning when you shop at any eligible merchant.
Once your credit and debit cards are linked to Bilt, you'll earn bonus points every month when you shop at eligible merchants without having to even think about it. This includes local restaurants, Walgreens, Lyft, and participating workout studios and classes.

One of my favorite ways to earn Bilt points is through Walgreens. Thanks to Bilt’s partnership, you’ll earn 2 points for every dollar you spend on Walgreens-branded products, and 1x on everything else in the store — as long as you pay with a card linked to your account, or use a phone number tied to your Bilt account at checkout. That's on top of any rewards you earn from your credit card.
Bilt Dining is another great way to rack up bonus points, with over 20,000 partner restaurants across the country. Depending on the restaurant, Bilt members can earn 2 or 3 extra points for every dollar you spend when dining out. Just make sure to pay with a linked credit or debit card.

As a Bilt member, when you connect your Lyft account to Bilt Neighborhood Benefits, you'll automatically earn 2 points for every dollar you spend on all Lyft rides.

While some airlines like Delta and United are beginning to introduce Bluetooth-enabled inflight entertainment systems, widespread adoption is still years away. That means it's nearly impossible to use your own headphones or earbuds with your plane’s seatback screen. Or is it? We’ve found a simple and affordable gadget that plugs into a standard airplane headphone jack and pairs your wireless headphones effortlessly. Whether you're on a long-haul flight or just a short domestic hop, this device ensures a seamless, wire-free audio experience.

With 19 airlines and 6 hotel transfer partners, there's a slew of options when it comes to redeeming your points, including popular programs like United, Alaska Airlines, Southwest, Air France/KLM, British Airways, Japan Airlines, Marriott, Hyatt and Wyndham Rewards.
That means your points can go a long way, especially since most of Bilt's partners transfer at a 1-to-1 ratio, meaning 1 Bilt point transfers to 1 point in the corresponding airline or hotel program.
On the first of every month, Bilt rewards its members with a special Rent Day perk.
With this upcoming promotion, you can earn bonus rewards on all transfers made to TAP Air Portugal's frequent flyer program — TAP Miles&Go. This promotion is for transfers made on June 1 only and the bonus offer depends on your status within the Bilt Rewards program:
Bilt is also sweetening the deal by giving its members the opportunity to "buy up" to a higher status by using their Bilt Cash. Bilt members can use $150 of Bilt Cash to unlock the next tier status. This means regular Blue members can earn the same transfer bonus as Silver members, Silver bumps up to Gold, Gold matches Platinum, and Platinum can upgrade to a 125% bonus.
If you have extra Bilt Cash lying around, this is a great way to earn even more points toward your next flight. Just note that with this particular Rent Day promotion, you're capped at transferring a maximum of 100,000 Bilt Points (which will net you up to 225,000 miles).
TAP Miles&Go can be a useful program for travelers heading to Europe. Since Lisbon is TAP Air Portugal's main hub, redeeming miles can be a great way to visit Portugal while also accessing over 90 destinations across the continent.
TAP operates nonstop flights to Lisbon from several major U.S. cities, including New York, Boston, and Miami, making award travel relatively convenient for U.S.-based travelers.
Award pricing is dynamic, with flights advertised at “starting from” rates. That means flights from North America can start at 29,000 miles one-way, though with the Rent Day bonus, that could require as few as 12,900 Bilt points. Meanwhile, flights within Europe start at just 7,500 miles, meaning some itineraries could cost as little as 3,400 Bilt points during the promotion.
These rates apply to economy-class awards, which can offer solid value — especially when paired with the Rent Day transfer bonus. Business-class redemptions are also available, though award rates are significantly higher.
Additionally, since TAP is part of the Star Alliance network, you can redeem your miles on over two dozen partner airlines, plus a handful of non-alliance carriers, expanding redemption options well beyond Portugal (and Europe). That said, finding award availability can sometimes require flexibility.
One thing to keep in mind is that TAP Miles&Go miles expire after three years if there is no qualifying account activity. While the program may not be as widely used as some other airline loyalty programs, it can provide solid value for travelers interested in visiting Portugal and beyond.
If you decide to take advantage of this promotion, know that it's only valid on Monday, June 1, 2026, from 12:00am ET through 11:59pm PT. If you don't already have a TAP Miles&Go account, we suggest creating one now and linking it to your Bilt account, and not waiting until the last minute.
There's no reason not to join Bilt Neighborhood Benefits, especially since it's free. With an easy-to-use program and valuable rewards, plus nearly two dozen loyalty partners and generous transfer bonus opportunities, Bilt gives you plenty of ways to turn your points into unforgettable travel experiences.
Personally, I earn Bilt Points every month without lifting a finger, just by keeping my credit cards linked to the program. Then, when the right travel opportunity comes along, I transfer those points to one of Bilt’s many partners for serious value.
While this month's Rent Day promotion could offer solid value for travelers planning a trip to Portugal or elsewhere in Europe, it's not one that I'll be taking advantage of. I don't currently have any TAP flights on my radar, and I generally prefer to keep my transferable points flexible until I have a specific redemption in mind. That said, if you've been eyeing a TAP Miles&Go redemption, this could be a worthwhile opportunity to stretch your Bilt Points even further.

Stress balls are a fantastic fidget to keep your hands busy and calm nerves. But some of them are filled with gels and liquid, so it's important to buy a TSA-approved one for flying. The Serenilite stress balls won’t trip you up at security, and come in several densities for varying grip strength.
