Bilt Rewards Launches Innovative Walgreens Partnership

Bilt Rewards has been making headlines in the travel rewards market since its establishment, thanks to its innovative program that allows members to pay rent with their Bilt World Elite Mastercard^® without incurring an additional transaction fee — and earning points in the process.

The program has constantly expanded its range of transfer partners, each of which increases the value of each Bilt Rewards point earned.

Now, Bilt Rewards is launching a unique partnership with Walgreens that will help members easily identify eligible FSA/HSA items and offer free photo prints, and that’s in addition to awarding bonus points on Walgreens purchases.

Here’s everything you should know about this new Bilt partnership.

Earn Bonus Points When You Shop at Walgreens

As of today, Bilt Rewards members can earn bonus points when shopping at Walgreens at the following rates:

• 1x Bilt points on all Walgreens purchases
• 2x points on Walgreens-branded items
• 100 Bilt points on prescription refills (subject to certain exclusions)

It’s important to note that you don’t have to use the Bilt Card to take advantage of these elevated earning rates. Instead, you can simply link any credit card to your Bilt account and start earning these bonus rewards. These rewards are an extra bonus on top of the credit card rewards you already earn when making purchases at Walgreens.

Take the Chase Freedom Unlimited^® as an example. This card is on our list of the best credit cards for making purchases at pharmacies and drugstores, such as Walgreens. By linking this card to your Bilt account and making purchases at Walgreens, you can earn an impressive 3% cash-back/3x points per dollar at Walgreens throughout the year.

Easily Find FSA/HSA Eligible Items

One of the most frustrating situations for those with a health savings account, such as an FSA or HSA, is not knowing which items qualify for reimbursement while going to the pharmacy.

Members can now shop at Walgreens with any linked debit or credit card from their Bilt account. Bilt’s innovative system automatically identifies FSA- or HSA-qualified items, providing a convenient 1-click solution for applying benefits. Plus, members can earn 100 bonus points per prescription refill.

This new partnership’s unique feature simplifies healthcare purchases by reducing the need to know what products are FSA- or HSA-eligible before buying.

Free Photo Prints

While not yet available, Bilt members will have access to complimentary photo prints at their local Walgreens pharmacy as an added benefit of this new relationship. While this is hardly a groundbreaking feature, it will be a welcome addition for people who print photos a few times a year.

Final Thoughts

Bilt Rewards and Walgreens have teamed up to offer 1x-2x Bilt points for every dollar spent at Walgreens (on top of the points you already get from your credit card), plus 100 bonus points for every prescription refill.

If you shop at Walgreens, all you have to do is add any credit card to your Bilt account. The next time you go to your local Walgreens, you’ll get extra benefits and bonus points.
