Bilt partnered with Grammy-winning artist Diplo for its latest Rent Day campaign, placing the musician at the center of the company's monthly Rent Free game show, where top scorers can win up to $2,500 in free rent. The collaboration coincides with the third season of Diplo's Run Club, a nationwide series combining 5K races with live music events that attracted more than 100,000 participants during its second season.
Bilt members receive exclusive access to Diplo's Run Club tickets across seven cities this season, including Denver, Philadelphia and New York. Each event combines a daytime run through local landmarks with a live DJ performance. The series also continues its partnership with PLUS1, which donated more than 16,000 pieces of sports equipment to underserved youth communities in 2025.
Bilt shows how lifestyle partnerships can turn financial services into culturally relevant membership experiences that extend beyond their core offering.
