No longer true (what stale guides still say)
- American Airlines AAdvantage was removed as a partner on 2024-06-24. Guides still listing it are out of date.
Fine print that changes the math
- Minimums are status-tiered, not card-tiered: 2,000 points for Blue status, 1,000 for Silver, Gold or Platinum — and “all transfers must be done in 1,000 point increments” (Bilt support page).
- Transfers are irreversible — Bilt: “Once points are transferred, they cannot be reversed.” Most are immediate, but Bilt says to allow up to 48 hours (Southwest up to 72).
- Bilt’s transfer bonuses run on Rent Day (the 1st of each month) as roughly one-day windows, often tiered by status and capped — if you see one, it will be gone by the 2nd.
Where these facts come from
Roster and every ratio are primary-sourced from Bilt’s own support-center partner list (which publishes ratios publicly, like Capital One and unlike Chase, Amex or Citi), cross-checked against four independent guides. Partner-addition dates come from independent coverage; the Spirit partnership is additionally confirmed by Spirit’s own investor-relations release. Roster source: support.biltrewards.com, verified 2026-07-20. Card terms change constantly — confirm with the issuer before acting. How we verify facts.
