Hugh Jackman stars in Bilt and Global Citizen's September Rent Day campaign. August 30, 2026 Deal Type: Brand Partnership & Campaign Collaboration Announced: August 28, 2026 * Hugh Jackman headlines Bilt Rewards' September Rent Day in partnership with international advocacy organization Global Citizen. * Jackman joins Bilt's monthly "Rent Free" game show as the celebrity player to help members win a free month of rent. * Bilt members can redeem points for 2026 Global Citizen Festival tickets in Central Park, enter the VIP trip sweepstakes, and purchase exclusive co-branded merchandise. * The campaign merges loyalty rewards with poverty eradication efforts ahead of the annual festival in New York. Bilt Rewards has partnered with advocacy organization Global Citizen and actor Hugh Jackman for its September Rent Day campaign. Jackman steps in as the featured celebrity player on Bilt's popular "Rent Free" game show. The top 10 scoring members automatically win a free month of rent. Additionally, every correct answer Jackman scores unlocks an extra rent-free winner, giving thousands of renters more opportunities to save. Beyond the game show, the collaboration offers members exclusive access to the 2026 Global Citizen Festival on September 26 at Central Park's Great Lawn in New York City. Jackman, a longtime Global Citizen Ambassador returning to host the concert, helps connect renters with the organization's mission to defeat poverty. Bilt members can redeem loyalty points directly for festival tickets, enter an in-app sweepstakes to win an all-expenses-paid VIP trip to New York, and purchase limited-edition co-branded apparel. This initiative marks Jackman's first direct collaboration with Bilt. The Tony and Emmy winner continues to demonstrate strong commercial pull, recently headlining a global campaign for Monday.com alongside Ryan Reynolds, while maintaining partnerships with brands like Montblanc and AG1. Star-powered collaborations remain central to Bilt's growth strategy. The new rollout follows previous high-profile partnerships, such as Diplo's July Rent Day takeover and Madonna's artist-focused rent relief program in New York City. Bilt Rewards is rewriting the playbook for modern consumer loyalty programs by turning routine living expenses into high-impact cultural moments. Instead of relying solely on standard cash-back perks or traditional brand endorsements, Bilt integrates gamification, live entertainment, and purpose-driven advocacy. Pairing a globally respected figure like Hugh Jackman with Global Citizen's mission gives this campaign authentic credibility. It shows how fintech platforms can move beyond transactional perks and build community-focused engagement that resonates with younger, socially conscious consumers. How will tying philanthropic action to everyday financial rewards reshape how consumers evaluate loyalty cards? Will Hugh Jackman's advocacy-first collaboration push other A-list stars to demand charitable components in their future commercial deals?

Bilt partners with Blacklane chauffeur service - earn points & redeem Bilt Cash. August 21, 2026 Bilt partnered with Blacklane to integrate their system with bookings, points earnings, points redemptions, and Bilt Cash redemptions. * You can book Blacklane rides from within the Bilt Travel portal. You can pay with any credit card you want. It's not yet clear if the charges post as Bilt or Blacklane. * You can use up to $50/$100/$150 in Bilt Cash each calendar year toward a Blacklane booking: up to $50/year for Blue & Silver status, up to $100/year for Gold status, and up to $150/year for Platinum status. When you book within the Bilt Travel portal, you'll have the option to apply Bilt Cash up to the allowed amount; the remainder will be paid with a credit card (any card). * Blacklane rides booked within Bilt will earn 1x Bilt points on any part paid with a credit card (any card). * Bilt points can be redeemed to book Blacklane rides. Redemption rate is .7 cents per point, so not really interesting. Its verdict. The other interesting news here is the 1x Bilt points earning when booking within the Bilt Travel system, so that's an added bonus for any Blacklane bookings. Doctor of Credit don't yet know if these purchases run through Blacklane's payment system or they get billed as Bilt. If it runs through Blacklane, then this would make for a nice new stack with the Citi Strata Elite credit: 1) book via Bilt Travel to earn 1x points, 2) apply some Bilt Cash if you'd like, 3) pay the balance with Strata Elite to get that $100 credit. A few other notes: * You can also book out into the future which is useful for end of year bookings when Bilt Cash expires (Bilt Cash expires on December 31st of each year other $100 which rolls over). In December, you can book out a Blacklane for the following year and use up some Bilt Cash that way. * You won't be able to use Blacklane promo codes when booking Blacklane on Bilt * See this comment on VFTW about how the charge codes on the credit card; not yet clear if it'll stack with the Strata Elite credit.
