Bilt Rewards continues to build out its ecosystem with a steady stream of new transfer partners and redemption options.

Now, it has added another new partner in the form of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts I Prefer program.

Here’s what you need to know about Bilt’s newest partner and how you can leverage it.

Preferred Hotels & Resorts Is Bilt’s Newest Transfer Partner

Bilt Rewards has shared that it has added the Preferred Hotels & Resorts I Prefer program as its newest transfer partner, and members can take advantage of it immediately.

Right now, Bilt Rewards members can transfer their points to the I Prefer program at a 1:2 ratio in increments of 1,000 points. This means for every 1,000 Bilt Rewards points transferred, you’ll receive 2,000 I Prefer points. Bilt Rewards Blue members must transfer at least 2,000 points, while Silver, Gold, and Platinum members have a 1,000-point minimum.

With today’s addition, I Prefer becomes Bilt Rewards’ 24th overall transfer partner and the seventh hotel partner, joining ALL – Accor Live Limitless, Hilton Honors, IHG One Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy, World of Hyatt, and Wyndham Rewards.

If you’re unfamiliar with Preferred Hotels & Resorts, it’s a portfolio of more than 700 independently owned hotels, resorts, and residential-style properties located in some of the world’s most desirable destinations. Properties span more than 85 countries across 4 collections: Legend, LVX, Lifestyle, and Preferred Residences (and its sister brand, Beyond Green).

The I Prefer program is free to join and allows members to redeem points in a number of ways, including reward nights starting at 15,000 points per night at participating properties, and reward nights plus, which are stays paid for with a combination of cash and points starting at 3,000 points.

There are other ways to redeem points, but the 2 methods mentioned above will generally provide the most value for your points.
