Here’s an amazing offer from Rakuten that lets you buy Bilt Points or American Express points at just one cent apiece. And if you’re new to Rakuten you do even better.
- New Rakuten members register free with a referfal link, and then earn a bonus $50 (5,000 points) after you make your first purchase of $50 or more.
- Then take advantage of this offer with Surfshark which – as of this writing – shows a 100% rebate. (Check to make sure it’s still there when you click!)
- Buy the most expensive plan at $113.13 plus tax (not imposed in all jurisdictions), and they rebate $113.13 back or receive your choice of 11,313 Bilt or American Express points.
Buy the two year ‘Surfshark One+’ plan for $113.13. The 100% rebate is only for new Surfshark customers and only on their first purchase.
You can immediately go to Subscription: Payments and ‘cancel renewal’.
If you choose to earn Bilt points, those will pay out May 15, 2026 at 1:1 (after that, Bilt has said that ratio may be limited based on status in their program). That’s my choice – this is a way to buy Alaska Airlines, United, or Hyatt miles at 1 cent apiece which is phenomenal – or, of course, and of their other transfer partners:
- Star Alliance: Air Canada Aeroplan, Turkish Miles & Smiles, United Airlines MileagePlus, Avianca LifeMiles, TAP Air Portugal Miles&Go
- oneworld: Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, Iberia Plus, British Airways Club, Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, Qatar Airways Privilege Club
- SkyTeam: Air France KLM Flying Blue, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
- Non-alliance: Emirates Skywards, Southwest Airlines, Aer Lingus Aer Club, Etihad Guest, Spirit Airlines Free Spirit
- Hotels: World Of Hyatt, IHG One Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, Accor ALL – Accor Live Limitless
And of course it becomes an even better deal with Bilt Rent Day transfer bonuses (up to 100% for Platinum members, plus 25% buy up available with Bilt Cash).
