There’s good news for Bilt Rewards members: the Point.me award search tool is available for free in the Bilt app.
This new feature allows members to search for flights using the powerful aggregator and quickly see redemption options available with Bilt Rewards partners.
Let’s take a look at this unique partnership, and how you can use it for your everyday travel searches.
Bilt Partners With Point.me
Bilt has been busy over the past year improving its rewards program, whether it’s adding new Bilt Rewards transfer partners, launching a travel portal with Expedia, or rolling out the monthly Bilt Rent Day to offer double points on the first of every month and other member-exclusive perks. Use the card 5 times each statement period to earn points (See Rewards & Benefits).
Now, the company that revolutionized earning points on rent is making redeeming points on flights even easier.
“The process of booking reward travel can oftentimes be confusing and time-consuming for our members who are not loyalty experts,” says Senior Travel Director of Bilt Rewards, Richard Kerr. “POINT.ME’s algorithm easily helps travelers find the clearest path to an award flight they want and provides a simple platform to compare all of your points and miles options. We know that Bilt members will love seeing how they can book the best flight options with our amazing airline partners.”
Normally, Point.me costs $129 per year, with award availability access to more than 100 airlines. Thanks to this latest partnership, Bilt Rewards members will be able to search Bilt’s 10 airline transfer partners for free.
What is Point.me?
Point.me is an award search aggregator that makes the process of finding award flights easier, for rookie travelers and pros alike.
Through the Bilt Rewards app (not desktop), members can search for rewards flights across Bilt’s airline partners, and Point.me will display the best options available.
Simply navigate to the Rewards tab, select Travel, and then toggle the flight search to Transfer Partners.
The results take about 2 minutes to populate and can be filtered by Quickest Flights, Points Low to High, and Point.me Picks.
As a reminder, Bilt Rewards points can be transferred to the following airlines:
Hot Tip: It’s worth noting you don’t necessarily need to hold the Bilt World Elite Mastercard® Credit Card to access the Bilt app. In fact, anyone can sign up for Bilt Rewards for free, download the app, and access the Point.me tool.
Final Thoughts
Bottom line, this is great news for travelers, especially for Bilt Rewards members.
Point.me is a valuable tool that makes the process of searching for and booking award flights easier. Although this is only available via the Bilt app and is limited to just 10 of the 100+ Point.me airlines, Bilt Rewards airline partners offer some excellent redemption opportunities.
