Get 4.55 Cents Per Point: Up To 200% Bilt Transfer Bonus To Accor June 1 Only—Fairmont And Raffles Redemptions Are A Steal

Bilt’s June 1 Rent Day headline benefit is up to a 200% transfer bonus converting Bilt Points to ALL – Accor Live Limitless points.

  • Bilt Platinum and Gold members: 200% bonus
  • Silver and Base members: 50% bonus

This offer will be live June 1 from 12 a.m. Eastern until 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.

This Is Amazing Value, Up To Guaranteed 4.55 Cents Per Point

Accor has 55 brands – like Fairmont, Sofitel, Raffles, and Orient Express at the high end. The points program is revenue-based, where points equate to fixed value towards hotel stays.

Accor is a Capital One and Citi transfer partner but at 2:1, so Bilt is offers a better transfer ratio to start with where 3,000 Bilt points gets 2,000 Accor points worth 40 euros. That’s reasonable though.

This offer nets you up to 6,000 Accor points for 3,000 Bilt points. That’s 120 euros for those 6,000 points, or 4 euro cents per Bilt point – which is 4.55 U.S. cents per Bilt point.

But I’m Probably Not Jumping On It

I grabbed Accor Platinum status through Bilt in January which came with a couple of suite upgrades. So this should be a no-brainer, right? Except I just don’t have clear opportunities for Accor stays that make a lot of sense coming up.

My accommodations in Australia coming up can’t really be made to work. Their Venice options are way overpriced for what they are over my dates. The same with a couple of other European destinations this summer. The chain’s U.S. footprint is small.

Looking out further, I’m sure I’ll find a way to use them. And I can keep my account active. But do I lock myself into Accor, where I almost never stay, with a big points transfer – even one where I’m guaranteeing myself redemptions around 4 cents per point which is amazing for hotels? I will probably be kicking myself later for not doing it, but I don’t think I’m jumping on this one.

Plus Their Usual Staple Of Offers

Bilt also has all of their usual various and sundry offers. Another June special is a redemption bonus with Lyft (50% for Bilt Blue and Silver, 100% for Gold and Platinum). This one is actually available in the Lyft app for linked accounts May 27 at 9 a.m .Eastern through June 2 11:59 p.m. Pacific.

There’s comedy shows in 19 cities and 22 venues, with seven new cities this month (Denver, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore); dining experiences in 16 cities at 33 restaurants; free SoulCycle and Barry’s classes; Family Feud-style game show to win free rent; and double points on cobrand card spend capped at 1,000 bonus points on June 1.

Plus A Free Chicken Parmesan Hero Sandwich

Bilt has a branded cafe on the ground floor of their office building at 31 Bond Street in New York. This rent day they’ve partnered with Tucci restaurant to give away chicken parm heros from the restaurant, and they’ll be featuring these for sale at the cafe throughout June.

On Sunday, June 1 just scan your Bilt account at the counter to verify membership and receive the item free (while supplies last).
