Bilt Rewards announced that it's June Rent Day promo will focus on its Neighborhood Dining program.
The timing fits when you consider that Bilt recently added roughly 20,000 restaurants to the program. On June 1, 2024, members can earn 5cx or 10x bonus points at participating restaurants based on their Bilt status level.
This stacks with Bilt's recurring Rent Day promo of earning double points on all purchases. So, you could earn 6x at the restaurant (double the standard 3x) and up to 10x with Neighborhood Dining promo. That means Platinum and Gold members can earn 16x at participating restaurants on June 1.

Hyatt sent out targeted promo offers in April, but has just sent out another round. Check the Hyatt app to see if you've been targeted for a promo offer this round.
Examples of offers we've seen:

View From The Wing: "A year ago Bilt Rewards added a card-linked dining program that let you earn points at participating restaurants whenever paying with a card linked to your Bilt account (it didn’t have to be Bilt’s own co-brand credit card). They were only in larger cities, but the curated lists of restaurants was outstanding."
"Now they’ve done a couple of deals to hugely expand their presence to around 20,000 more restaurants in what they call their Neighborhood Dining program."
Frequent Miler: "I am actually very excited about the new LifeMiles+ subscription. I initially assumed this wouldn’t be attractive, but the new benefits are making me seriously consider a subscription."
"As you can see, for your subscription fee, at first glance, it looks like you’re buying a monthly allotment of miles for a price that isn’t attractive."
"However, I think the real star of the show here is the 10% discount on all Avianca LifeMiles redemptions, which applies to all of the LifeMiles award tickets you book (including for others). "
Danny the Deal Guru: "The Finnair Plus program switched to Avios on March 9, 2024. Finnair also has a new award charts, with surcharges that are actually decent. Finnair Plus will have a separate award chart for each partner airline. You can see all the details here."
"Now Finnair has revealed that starting May 22, if you’re a member of both Finnair Plus and British Airways Executive Club, you can link your accounts and transfer Avios between them."
Turkish Miles&Smiles is running a 50% bonus on transfers from Citi ThankYou Points through June 15, 2024.
While Turkish massively devalued their award chart recently, this could be a great use of Citi points thanks to the massive transfer bonus. For example, you need 65,000 Turkish miles to book a one-way business class on Turkish Airlines from between the US and Turkey. With the transfer bonus, you'd only need 32,500 Citi ThankYou Points.
Please note that the terms state that the bonus miles will be added after the promo ends on June 15.
This transfer bonus is run by Turkish Airlines, so you want see the bonus miles reflected on Citi's site when transferring points.
Travel on Points: "There is a new Marriott timeshare offer that I was emailed about and wanted to share with you. This one requires you to actually visit a property, versus their online offer that pops up sometimes. It appears this is targeted, since it has a invitation number, but it may be worth calling and trying for it anyway."
One Mile At A Time: "The Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is currently expected to open in late 2024, though isn’t yet accepting reservations. The hotel will be located in Kuala Lumpur’s new Merdeka 118 building, which isn’t only the tallest skyscraper in the city, but the tallest building in all of Asia-Pacific."
Points Wire Note:
Traditionally, luxury properties in Kuala Lumpur have some great rates. I'll be curious to see how the Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur compares. It certainly has the potential to be a great Hyatt Privé option for cash stays!
Danny the Deal Guru: "Resy has a new offer for the Amex Gold Card which is better than the current public offer. The official offer currently is 60,000 Membership Rewards points. However, you can probably get a 90,000 points offer through some referrals. But this Resy offer will get you 75,000 points plus up to $350 back for dining purchases, which is also a category that earns 4x with the Amex Gold Card."
Points Wire Note:
The 90,000-point welcome bonus offer will be best for many people. However, if you're able to pull up the offer 75,000 Membership Rewards points + up to $350 back at restaurants, that might be a better option.
Loyalty Lobby: "Best Western Rewards members can earn a 10,000 bonus every three nights for up to 20,000 bonus points after six nights. Members will then receive an email invitation to register for an additional promotion for double or triple points."
Stays between May 20 and September 2, 2024 are eligible.
