Bilt is making waves in the world of loyalty and rewards, and it all started with their Rent Day November promotion. On the first day of the month, they usually doubled the rewards, but this time they went a step further – offering a whopping up to 150% bonus on transferring your Emirates Skywards points. Exciting, right? For all the promo details, you can check out my previous post here.
Best No-Annual-Fee Credit Card
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Yesterday, I received an email from Bilt, where they proudly announced that they’ve clinched the prestigious title of “Best No-Annual-Fee Credit Card” at The Points Guy Reader’s Choice Awards for the second year in a row. To celebrate this fantastic achievement, they’re cranking up their referral program. Now, when you refer a friend who gets approved for the Bilt Mastercard, you’ll earn 10,000 Bilt Points – that’s four times the usual bonus! To take advantage of this offer, you can sign up for the card here.
Of course, there are some rules to play by. This special offer is valid from November 7 to November 20, 2023. Bilt members can earn an extra 7,500 Bilt Points for each successful referral on top of the regular Referral Offer points. However, these bonus points count toward a maximum cap of 2,025,000 points as outlined in the Referral Offer Terms and Conditions. For your referral to qualify, they must be new to Bilt Rewards and the Bilt Mastercard issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. They need to apply using your unique referral link and do so before the offer ends on November 20, 2023. Here’s a detailed explanation of the referral terms: link
Bilt Partners with Marriott
Fast forward to today, November 8th, and Bilt has an exciting new partner in town — Marriott Bonvoy! Please refer to this link for detailed information. Until now, you could only transfer points to Hyatt and IHG, but now you have another exciting option. You can now transfer your Bilt Points 1:1 to Marriott Bonvoy® Points. These points can be used for free hotel stays and unforgettable experiences at over 30 hotel brands worldwide. All you need to do is link your Bilt and Marriott Bonvoy accounts in the Bilt app’s travel tab, and you’ll even earn 100 Bilt Points when you link them. And here’s a bonus for Bilt members: for every 20,000 Bilt Points you transfer in one go, you’ll receive an extra 5,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

In a Nutshell:
Whether you’re looking to make the most of your Bilt Points or simply eager to explore new travel possibilities, Bilt is now offering more opportunities and rewards than ever before. Don’t forget to take advantage of their promotion – Bilt members can earn an extra 7,500 Bilt Points for each successful referral, in addition to the regular Referral Offer points.
However, a word of caution when it comes to transferring points to Marriott. Their points may not always provide the best value, typically around 0.8 cents. While the standard transfer ratio is 1:1, Bilt sweetens the deal with 5,000 bonus points for every 20,000 points transferred. What’s more, linking your Marriott account in the Bilt app will earn you an extra 100 Bilt points for free. So, if you’re running low on Marriott points for a specific booking, this transfer could be a practical choice. If you’re not in a hurry, stay tuned for more exciting updates from Bilt, especially during their Rent Day promotions – who knows what surprises they have in store next!
