Bilt Partners with Alaska Airlines
Bilt Rewards announced today the addition of a new transfer partner, Alaska Airlines. But the partnership goes beyond point transfers, as it will also add a bonus earning category for Alaska cardholders.
Effective immediately, Bilt Rewards members can convert points to Alaska Mileage Plan at a 1:1 transfer ratio. This is an important addition for Alaska frequent flyers as Alaska Mileage Plan doesn’t have partnerships for point transfers with other major points currencies.
Another part of this new partnership will launch later this spring. Alaska Airlines cardholders will start earning 3 miles per dollar spent when using the Alaska Airlines Visa® credit card to pay rent through Bilt. The new bonus category will be added to the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® card only and not the business card.
This new benefit will be limited to $50,000 in rent payments annually through Bilt. However, these payments will cost you 3%, just like other non-Bilt cards.
Currently you can earn 1 Bilt Point per dollar spent on rent payments up to $100,000 per calendar year when using the Bilt Mastercard. But those payments don’t incur any fees.
