Bilt has just revealed the details for its July Rent Day, and this month’s headline is huge: up to a 200% transfer bonus to select partners, the highest ever offered by any major US rewards program. The promotion runs July 1 only, and includes a range of airline and hotel partners—potentially turning your Bilt points into outsized travel value.
Our Take
Good news for Bilt power users and international travelers. This is the most generous transfer bonus we’ve ever seen from a major US program—by our 2.2¢ per point valuation, a 200% bonus could make your points worth 3.3¢ each or more. If you’ve been saving Bilt points for a big trip, this is the moment to act.
What Changed
- Transfer bonus: Up to 200% (previously 100% max)
- Eligible partners: Select airline and hotel programs (full list in-app July 1)
- Effective date: July 1, 2026 (one day only)
- Bilt points value: Potentially 3.3¢ per point (at 200% bonus, per our valuation)
Who Benefits Most
- Bilt cardholders with large point balances: 100,000 Bilt points could become 300,000 airline miles—worth up to $4,200 at our 1.4¢/mile valuation for Aeroplan, Avios, or United.
- International premium cabin flyers: Business class awards (e.g., 60,000 miles to Europe) become much more attainable—your Bilt points stretch 3x further.
- Flexible travelers: Those able to book with partners offering the full 200% bonus can extract maximum value—think $1,650+ in flights from just 50,000 points.
- Renters who pay via Bilt: If you’ve been earning points on rent, this is the best time all year to transfer for outsized rewards.
Who Should Be Cautious
- Travelers with fixed plans on non-participating partners: If your preferred airline/hotel isn’t included, you won’t benefit.
- Low-balance Bilt users: With only a few thousand points, the bonus is less impactful—consider saving for a bigger redemption.
- Those who don’t have immediate travel needs: Transfer bonuses are best for those ready to book soon, as points can’t be reversed once moved.
What To Do Right Now
- Check the Bilt app on July 1 for the full list of eligible partners and bonus percentages.
- Calculate your redemption: Use our 2.2¢/point Bilt valuation and partner valuations to estimate your real-world value.
- Transfer only what you’ll use soon—transfers are irreversible and partner devaluations can happen.
- Compare award availability before transferring to ensure you can actually book your desired trip.
- If you’re not a Bilt cardholder, consider applying to take advantage of future Rent Day promos.
