To answer my own question, this morning I had a smart phone notification of Rent Day promo, first time for me after my Bilt MC approval. Oct 1st NFL tickets are of little interest but I did notice Point Quest (trivia) which is 5 trivia questions of increasing difficulty and value. 1st is 10 points, 2nd is 20, 3rd is 30, 4th is 40, 5th is 50 (I think there’s a pattern here ). Get all 5 correct, get a 6th worth another 100 points, thus 250 total points possible if all 6 questions answered correctly. As a Bilt nugget*, I’m not sure if one person has more than one chance to answer all 6 questions correctly, from the description it seems like that might not be true.

250 points isn’t a lot but it’s a marathon, not a sprint and the longest journey starts with one step .

From 2011 to 2013 Thread: Audience Rewards trivia questions answers for Starwood Delta, and U.S. Air was very active, sometimes for only 2 points per question. (Much as it was an “advantage” at the time, I certainly don’t long for** Kandahar Afghanistan again .) Perhaps this or a different thread should do the same thing for Rent Day trivia, especially if we each only get one shot at the answers.

BTW, on the Bilt app I just saw a Family Feud style question to be entered to win free rent. “Things New Yorkers consider normal.” Took me a minute or 2 to think of 3 correct answers: Rats, Subways, Walking Fast. The other 3 are: Bodegas, Being Rude, Jaywalking. Doesn’t speak well that my first answer was “rats” and one of Bilt’s answers is “being rude”. As a near-lifetime NYer, point of order, it’s not “rude”, it’s (more accurately described as) “abrupt” or “rapid” . (As a complete FF points and miles monger, the most important question is, if you win the Free Rent, do you still get the points ?)

(* Naval Aviation “nugget”: “A Nugget is a first-tour Naval Aviator or Flight Officer, especially applicable during their first deployment.” and/or “A nugget was defined as a brand-new naval aviator who’d just received his wings of gold and was now enrolled in advanced flight training.” - funny story in this link.)

(** "Long for" is an idiom that signifies a deep emotional yearning or desire for someone or something.)
