Bilt Rewards will no longer offer points transfers to American Airlines as of June 24th. This was first announced in March, but a date was not set at that time.
This partnership was unique in that American Airlines is not a transfer partner with other programs like Chase Ultimate Rewards®, American Express Membership Rewards®, or Citi ThankYou® Rewards.
The Bilt Rewards program will still offer transfers to the following airline partners:
- Aer Lingus AerClub
- Air Canada Aeroplan®
- Air France/KLM Flying Blue®
- Alaska Mileage Plan™
- Avianca Lifemiles
- British Airways Executive Club
- Cathay Pacific
- Emirates Skywards®
- Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles
- Iberia Plus
- Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
- United MileagePlus®
- Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
All of these are on a 1:1 basis except for when Bilt offers lucrative Rent Day bonuses up to 150% (like it did last year with Air Canada, Air France/KLM, and Virgin Atlantic.
A Bilt spokesperson released the following statement:
Bilt and American have agreed to wind down our partnership beginning in June. We appreciate everything we’ve been able to accomplish together since Bilt’s launch in 2021.”
Anthony’s Take: Bilt Rewards offers some of the most valuable and transferrable points. I have taken advantage of bonuses with Air France/KLM and look forward to future opportunities.
