What Makes Bilt Points So Valuable?
Bilt Rewards  |   February 26, 2024

Bilt Points Are Number One

If you’ve spent any time in the world of points and miles, you know that not all points are created equally. The value of a point can be calculated using a wide range of factors like the number of ways you can use them, and how far they get you versus paying cash. 

At Bilt, we’re passionate about making sure our points are as valuable as possible by continually adding new, useful ways to make use of your points. This has been recognized by experts in the points world, and we’re proud to be ranked as the most valuable currency by both Bankrate.com and The Points Guy.

Ways to Redeem Your Points

So now that you know you’re earning the most valuable points in the game–how should you use them? Here are just some of our favorite redemption options:

The Bilt Travel Portal 

Use our travel portal to book every part of your trip in one place using Bilt Points. Powered by Expedia, our portal gives you streamlined access to flights, hotels, rental cars, and activities around the world. For example, want to escape to Paris next Valentine’s Day?

All Bilt Points redeemed through the portal will be worth 1.25 cents towards the cost of your travel. So, 10,000 Bilt Points would be equivalent to $125 when redeemed through the portal. Plus, you have the flexibility to pay with points, cash, or a combination of the two.

Redeeming points at 1.25 cents each you could book a $458.30 nonstop flight with American starting at 36,664 points, pick up a ~$110 rental car from CDG starting around 9,000 points, book a night at the chic Hôtel Rochechouart for 12,175 points instead of paying $152 and take a guided tour of the Louvre’s masterpieces for just over 6,000 points.

You can find the Bilt Travel Portal under the Travel rewards section in the Bilt app, or at travel.biltrewards.com

Our Transfer Partners 

In addition to our portal, you can transfer your points 1:1 directly to any of our loyalty partners. This allows you to potentially make your points go even further within the rewards ecosystem of that specific partner. To figure out which partner you should transfer to book your next trip, head to the Travel tab, then select Flights or Hotels, then toggle to “Transfer partners” to see real-time award availability across all our airline and hotel partners. 

Book a flight to Europe with United Airlines starting at 30,000 United Miles transferred to United from your Bilt account, or fly to the Caribbean from 11,500 miles transferred to Flying Blue–there are nearly unlimited places to travel with your Bilt Points.

For example, if you searched for those same dates for Paris, you’d find that you could transfer your points to our partners at the World of Hyatt and book a night at Le Narcisse Blanc Hôtel & Spa for 40,000 points per night, or, the Hyatt House Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport starting at only 5,000 points per night when transferred 1:1 to World of Hyatt.

To make that transfer happen, you’d head to the Travel tab, scroll down to Bilt Loyalty Partners, click on World of Hyatt, and then click “Transfer points” to start the process. Once those points show up in your World of Hyatt account you can go ahead and book your stay.

Neighborhood Fitness 

Use Bilt Points to book your favorite neighborhood fitness class with any of our top-rated fitness partners like SoulCycle, Rumble, and Pure Barre, plus unlock exclusive benefits and experiences when you book with Bilt. Head to the Fitness section of the Neighborhood tab, choose the class you'd like to attend and select "Pay with points" at checkout to redeem

The Bilt Collection 

Not only do we want to make paying rent a better experience, we want to make apartment living a better experience. With the Bilt Collection, our team has curated a stunning catalog of art, decor, and more. So, you can turn the points you earn on your rent payments, into pieces to make your home even more enjoyable. Check out a few of our team’s favorites from our most recent collection:

Towards Your Next Rent Payment

Did you know the points you earn on rent can be used towards…rent? That’s right, if your top priority is saving some money on your largest expense every month, you can make that happen with Bilt Points. Just make sure to select “Pay with points” in the “Pay rent” tab.

Bottom Line

Ultimately, the best way to get “maximum value” out of your points is to use them on what matters to you. So whether you want to travel the world, level up your fitness, or turn your home into your own oasis, Bilt Points can take you there.
