3 Transfer Bonuses Up To 150%

Bilt is bringing back three massive transfer bonus promos for Rent Day On January 1, 2024.

If you transfer Bilt points to Air France-KLM Flying Blue, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, or IHG One Rewards on January 1, you can get a 75% to 150% bonus. Your transfer bonus is based on your Bilt Rewards status.

  • Blue: 75% (2,000 Bilt points = 3,500 partner points/miles)
  • Silver: 100% (1,000 Bilt points = 2,000 partner points/miles)
  • Gold: 125% (1,000 Bilt points = 2,250 partner points/miles)
  • Platinum: 150% (1,000 Bilt points = 2,500 partner points/miles)

Blue member must transfer at least 2,000 Bilt points. Your transfer bonus is based on your Bilt status as of January 1, 2024.

Double Points On Rent Day Purchases

On Rent Day, you can earn double points on all purchases (not including rent). This includes double points on Bilt's bonus categories which means you'll earn the following:

  • Dining: 6x (up from 3x)
  • Travel: 4x (up from 2x)
  • Other: 2x (up from 1x)

You can earn up to 10,000 bonus points on Rent Day. You must use your card 5 times per statement period to earn points.

$5 Lyft Credit

Once you've linked your Bilt and Lyft accounts, you can activate a $5 credit. On January 1, you'll need to select "Activate credits" in the Bilt app on the Rent Day tab. Within 72 hours, you should see a credit under "Lyft Pass" in the payment section of the Lyft app. Your credit is valid for 90

Points Wire Note:

The transfer bonuses to Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic are fantastic. I'm even considering a speculative transfer which I rarely recommend. I have Gold Status, so that 125% bonus is really tempting.

A quick note on calculating the bonus: This has been a small point of confusion during previous transfer bonus promos. To calculate the number of miles you'll receive from the bonus, use the following formulas:

  • Blue: Bilt points X 1.75 = total partner points/miles
  • Silver: Bilt points X 2 = total partner points/miles
  • Gold: Bilt points X 2.25 = total partner points/miles
  • Platinum: Bilt points X 2.5 = total partner points/miles
An example with Gold status: 10,000 Bilt points X 2.25 = 22,500 partner points/miles.

Personally, I would ignore IHG as an option since you'll get so much more from Flying Blue, Virgin, and other Bilt transfer partners.
