I have written before about the Bilt Mastercard, which is a useful no annual fee card that allows you to pay your rent with a credit card. Valuable bonus categories, cell phone protection, and rental car coverage are just some of the perks of the card. If you pay rent in the US, then you should get this card, even if you don't.

You can also earn rewards with the program even if you don't have a credit card. There is a chance to earn bonus points with Bilt.

There are 11 transfer partners that allow 1:1 transfers.

  • Air Canada Aeroplan
  • Air France-KLM Flying Blue
  • American AAdvantage
  • Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
  • Emirates Skywards
  • Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles
  • IHG Rewards
  • Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
  • United MileagePlus
  • Virgin Points
  • World of Hyatt

Each partner program that you link to your Bilt account will get 100 bonus points. 1,100 bonus points is an easy number given that there are 11 transfer partners.

It is easy to do this. Click on the Flights or Hotels tab if you want to log into your Bilt account. Click the button if you want to select individual partners.

The bonus points should post instantly if you enter your basic account details.

Some people aren't comfortable with sharing account details with a third party. At the same time, we do that all the time, and at least we're being rewarded for it. Everyone will have to decide if this is worth it.

Limited time: 500 bonus points for linking World of Hyatt

Bilt members can earn 500 bonus points if they link their account to the World of Hyatt. If you have never linked your accounts before, the bonus will post automatically.

Even if you don't want to share your information with a third party for 100 points, 500 points is still worth it.

Back in April, we saw an elevated offer for linking your American AAdvantage account. It would make sense to only link a partner if there is an elevated bonus, unless you are making an imminent transfer.

Bottom line

For linking your account to those of transfer partners, Bilt offers bonus rewards. You can earn 500 bonus points for linking World of Hyatt if you earn 100 bonus points for each partner you link.

This is an offer that could be worth taking advantage of, regardless of whether or not you have a Bilt Mastercard.
