I'm a big fan of the Bilt rewards program, especially the ability to earn rewards on rent payments. It's great to hear that Bilt has announced a new partner, which could bring some exciting opportunities. The more partners they have, the better, and it's always encouraging to see innovation in the industry.

BLADE is a versatile commuting option to avoid traffic and arrive at desirable destinations quickly. The charter flight service has a unique partnership with Bilt Rewards where members of the travel loyalty program can earn 2x Bilt Points, enjoy 10% savings, and get free flight credits.

This first perk is available to all Bilt Rewards status tiers by linking a credit card or debit card to a Bilt Wallet. It’s free to join and link cards to this payment app. The loyalty program already has similar partnerships with select restaurants and other merchants.

After connecting a card, use it to pay for BLADE flights and services to automatically earn 2 Bilt Points per $1 and any payment card rewards whether it’s travel miles or cash back.

You can earn points when paying directly from BLADE or through the Bilt app and website. Something to keep in mind is that elite members eligible for the 10% savings and other perks must book through Bilt to redeem.

An easy way to accumulate Bilt Points quickly is to pay with a Bilt World Elite Mastercard, which earns 2x on travel. With this payment strategy, you will net 4x points on BLADE purchases and earn 1x points on rent without transaction fees. Further, your points are worth 25% more when booking award travel through Bilt and there is a wide assortment of 1:1 transfer partners.

The three Bilt Rewards elite tiers can enjoy a 10% discount on BLADE flights. These benefits incrementally increase with higher tier levels.

Below are the elite benefits available by tier:

You must book BLADE travel through the Bilt app or website to unlock these elite perks. It’s possible to pay with any credit card or debit card though to earn your preferred purchase rewards.

The discounts and redeemable flight credits will automatically reflect in the Bilt platform while booking an itinerary.

New York residents and visitors can benefit most from this travel partnership, whether they want to enjoy hassle-free airport transfers or minimize commute times. It’s another reason why Bilt Rewards continues to be one of the most valuable travel loyalty programs with its ongoing partnerships and monthly “Rent Day” promotions.
