Bilt Rewards is back with its Rent Day offers for March 1. The headline here is a Hilton Honors transfer bonus: 150% for general members, and 200% for anyone with Bilt Rewards status. A 200% transfer bonus means 3 Hilton points for every 1 Bilt point transferred. I believe this is the world’s first 200% transfer bonus to a travel points partner.

200% Transfer Bonus To Hilton Is Meh

If you normally spend your Bilt points on Amazon purchases or rent, this is a good deal. If you normally transfer to Hilton, IHG, or Marriott without a transfer bonus, this is a god deal. And if you normally redeem through their travel portal at 1.25 cents apiece, this is a good deal.

However it is not something I will be doing. I value Hilton points at about half a cent apiece, and frankly that’s generous and probably doesn’t take into account the last Honors devaluation. That would mean getting 1.5 cents per Bilt point with a 200% transfer bonus. I value Bilt points more than that. It’s about a wash transferring to Hyatt.
