Bilt Rewards is adding Preferred Hotels & Resorts and its I Prefer Hotel Rewards program as a transfer partner for Bilt members. According to a June 22 press release cited by PYMNTS, the partnership is active immediately and gives members access to more than 700 hotels, resorts, and residences worldwide. Under the program terms described in both sources, Bilt Points can be converted to I Prefer points at a 1:2 transfer ratio.
View From The Wing also reports that the 1:2 ratio matches the transfer terms offered by other card programs that convert into I Prefer, including Capital One, Citi, and Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan’s related transfers. The outlet characterizes the addition as a helpful new option for travelers who prefer independent hotel properties, while noting that the value depends on whether Bilt offers additional promotions or a transfer bonus to improve the effective return for members.
Overall, the change expands Bilt’s transfer partner network by adding a hotel-focused loyalty program and begins immediately for eligible members.
